What you’ll learn

I can interpret and perform action words.

Key learning points

Move: interpreting and performing a range of action words requires using our whole body or isolated parts of our body.
Move: actions are movements we can perform in a variety of ways with control.
Think: imagination enables us to interpret action words such as melt or pop.
Feel: self-belief enables us to perform a range of actions confidently.
Connect: fairness requires us to maintain our personal working space.

Words to know

actions: the movements we perform
travel: moving from one location to another
stillness: the absence of movement, stopping, pausing

Common mistakes

Travelling is only a whole-body movement and involves moving around the space available.

Travelling can be either a whole body action or be performed by isolated body parts. As well as moving around the space it can also involve going up and down as well as turning on the spot.

For parents, carers and teachers

Set the task, then add the music at a low volume.
