We started the term focusing on fitness through Shetland Dance. We discussed what components of fitness we needed in dance and were surprised that stamina and muscular endurance are both needed. The dances we learnt were a Dashing White Sergeant, Orcadian Strip the Willow, a Gay Gordons, an Eva Three step and a Circassian circle. The class particularly liked the Orcadian Strip the Willow. In the Teacher led PE session the class have also done a Boston Two Step, St. Bernard’s Waltz and a Canadian Barn dance.
Our next block of work is Handball, which is a change to the term plan. Handball was due in Term 4, but has been swapped with football so that we can hopefully get outside for the football block.
