Oceans
This is a unit of three dance sessions which engages the children with the seaside environment. Each session provides a contrasting context whilst building learning developmentally. In session 1, Ocean motion, we use our senses and imagination to comb the beach and feel the power of the waves in our bodies. The second session, Ocean life, transports us beneath the waves to discover the awesome world of sea animals. Finally the last session, Ocean fun, is an exciting exploration of surfing culture and sport.
