What you’ll learn
I can include turning and changes of direction into my actions.
Key learning points
- Move: turning requires balance and control.
- Move: combining turning and travelling requires coordination.
- Think: using imagination enables us to be creative and use abstract ideas.
- Feel: self-belief enables us to try a range of ideas and keep trying our hardest.
- Connect: performing as a duet together and contrasting our actions requires empathy.
Words to know
- turn
- rotate or spin
- direction
- where we face or travel
- contrast
- the difference between two or more things
Common mistakes
Contrast is the same as opposite.
Opposite is an example of contrast. For example, a contrast for travelling forwards is backwards. But contrast can also mean different. For example, travelling around a bend or turning on the spot are different so would also demonstrate contrast.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Apply the instruction 'slowly' when asking pupils to demonstrate turning to avoid dizziness. Partial turns also support safe practice and can link to mathematical language.
