The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson
The two dance sessions are based on the classic picture book The Gruffalo, written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. The story offers great opportunities to explore real and imaginary animals and to enjoy using them in a dramatic way. The unit introduces basic skills of movement and stillness, finding a space and travelling through the space. Work develops to include a limited range of dynamic and spatial ideas and to introduce working with a partner.
