Happy Friday Class 3!
How are you feeling today? I hope you are all well.
Today we are going to get active and exercise our bodies through Dance.
Learning Focus:
We will listen to a piece of music and show our reflections of the music through dance movements.
First of all lets WARM UP!
Put on some comfortable clothes and find a clear space to use.
Start by completing Joe Wicks 5 minute workout to warm up your bodies below.
Now we have warmed up our bodies, we are ready to begin.
1. Listen to the song – The Eagle and the Fish HERE
The song is about a meeting between the eagle who is king of the skies and a beautiful fish who is queen of the seas.
The music captures the character of the eagle – majestic, courageous and strong and the fish – beautiful, spiritual and strong.
Now you have listened to the song it is time to begin to explore some movements.
2. Starting activity
Follow the instructions below carefully. You can play the music in the background whilst doing this.
3. Exploring movements of an eagle
Look at the words below. Have a think what each word could look like in a movement. Now try to create a movement for each word.
-glide
-spiral
-soar
-tilt
-hover
-dive
Now choose three of these movements and join these together in a sequence.
4. Making a dance
Listen to the music. Explore putting your chosen movements together with the music. Can you move like an eagle? Use the music to inspire your movements.
