Year 3 - Physical education

Dynamics: fronted adverbial

Dance: my word links to language

Unit Summary

A pure approach deepens understanding of Action-Space-Dynamics-Relationships and how to create, develop and analyse ideas, motifs and dances. Pupils select and combine key elements to create effects, drawing parallels between communication methods and illustrate how artistic processes are applied.

Lesson Summary

You will learn to apply different dynamics to clearly communicate the meaning of your actions.

Key Notes

  • Move: performing actions using a range of dynamics with precision and control helps communicate meaning effectively.
  • Think: working out how to apply different dynamics involves decision-making.
  • Feel: working quickly and using force requires self-discipline in order to work safely.
  • Connect: rehearsing a performance requires collaboration to communicate the meaning clearly.

Vocabulary To Learn

  • dynamics: the speed and force of an action
  • manner: describes how an action is performed
  • contrast: distinctly different

Common Mistakes To Avoid

  • Dynamics mean how fast or slow you perform an action.

3 Quick Questions (With Answers)

Move: performing actions using a range of dynamics with precision and control helps communicate meaning effectively. Think: working out how to apply different dynamics involves decision-making.

2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'dynamics'

the speed and force of an action.

3. Correct this common mistake.

Mistake: Dynamics mean how fast or slow you perform an action. Correction: Pupils think that dynamics only means how fast or slow you perform an action and forget that it is also about the force we apply.
