During this unit in PE we have been integrating with the homeroom ‘How We Express Ourselves’ unit on imagination and the arts. Students have be participating in a variety of dance and yoga activities that require them to use their imagination.
Over the last few weeks of this integrated unit, students have used their imagination to develop a yoga story on a storyboard and then add yoga poses to illustrate it, based on the cosmic kids yoga stories that we have participated in. We finished the unit by filming the students performing their story in front of the green screen. We could then add a background to the story to help transport them to where their imagination story was based.
These type of activities can help children to:
- develop large muscles, strength and balance
- develop flexibility and coordination
- develop their ideas in their own ways
- learn to solve problems, plan and remember
- express feelings through their body
- be creative by making up their own stories
- gain confidence
- practice problem solving
