What you’ll learn

I can mirror my partners’ actions using an object.

Key learning points

  • Move: when using objects we can move with them or around them.
  • Move: copying and mirroring requires us to replicate the actions of others.
  • Think: imagination enables us to think how we can move an object or prop in a variety of ways.
  • Feel: self-belief enables us to create actions for our partner to mirror.
  • Connect: fairness requires us to consider the needs of others.

Common mistakes

Mirroring and copying are the same

Mirroring is a type of copying, it specifically requires the movement to be translated to the opposite side of the body to produce the effect of a reflection. Copying can be a direct replication of the action.

For parents, carers and teachers
  • Ensure pupils are sufficiently apart to be able to view their partners' actions easily.
