What you’ll learn
I can create and adapt rhythm patterns.
Key learning points
- Move: performing rhythm patterns demonstrates musicality.
- Think: finding different ways to perform an action involves problem solving.
- Feel: repeating a pattern accurately requires resilience.
- Connect: working in unison with a partner requires cooperation.
Words to know
- rhythm
- a repeated pattern of movement or sound
- repeat
- to perform again
- stamp
- heavily landing a body part (usually a foot) on the ground
Common mistakes
Stamping is something we do when we are frustrated; it's not a dance action.
All actions can be used in dance. Stamping could be used to communicate frustration or could be used to add emphasis, make rhythmic sounds or show strength.
For parents, carers and teachers
- To establish a repeating rhythm pattern, initially use the action words rather than counts to aid memory, e.g. 'stamp-stamp-stamp-jump'. Once established, this can gradually change to claps or counts, e.g. clap-clap-clap-jump or 1,2,3, jump so the pupils become familiar with counting the music.
