Dancing in science
Description
Bishops Castle Primary School is set in rural Shropshire. Victoria Palmer teaches a cross-key-stage class of mainly Year 2s, the oldest Year 1s and some Year 3s. She is familiar with linking the arts with other curriculum areas in her teaching, but has never tried to link dance with science. In this programme we see Victoria as she meets up with a dancer, Rachel Freeman, to plan and teach a lesson about the human body. Rachel regularly goes into schools to work with teachers in this way. In the lesson Victoria and Rachel introduce different body parts and how they move, and what happens to their bodies before and after exercise. The children do different dance sequences at different tempos and observe changes in their breathing, heart rates and temperature.
