Summer camping
Diane Louise Jordan has a range of contrasting movement sequences based on the activities and outdoor adventures of a Summer camping holiday – from putting up the tent and singing round the campfire, to exploring a Summer meadow and splashing in a shallow stream.
In the first session the children pack for their adventure and then pitch the tent when they arrive at the campsite. The second session is about exploring the campsite - a wood and then crossing a stream on stepping-stones. In the final session the children explore a beautiful meadow beyond the campsite.
