Year 6 - Physical education

Dynamics: force and speed

Dance: the power of unity

Unit Summary

A narrative approach develops a wider range of creative responses to issue based work employing Action-Space-Dynamics-Relationships in a cohesive manner. Pupils express individuality through character-based work, reflecting on social issues. Pupils create dances using binary and ternary forms.

Lesson Summary

You will learn to vary the dynamics of your actions to communicate meaning.

Key Notes

  • Move: varying the dynamics of actions and combining them when performing requires control.
  • Think: selecting words and using them to devise a simple story demonstrates decision making.
  • Feel: responsibility is needed when using strong and fast dynamics in a group.
  • Connect: successfully applying a range of dynamics and choreographing a sequence requires collaboration.

Vocabulary To Learn

  • dynamics: the speed or force of an action
  • speed: the rate or pace of an action
  • force: the degree of effort in an action

Common Mistakes To Avoid

  • Dynamics involve either speed or force, not both.

3 Quick Questions (With Answers)

1. Explain the lesson in two key points.

Move: varying the dynamics of actions and combining them when performing requires control. Think: selecting words and using them to devise a simple story demonstrates decision making.

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

the speed or force of an action.

3. Correct this common mistake.

Mistake: Dynamics involve either speed or force, not both. Correction: Dynamics are a combination of both speed and force. We naturally use them both in every action we do, in dance we can use them to clearly communicate our dance idea, sometimes this requires greater emphasis on one or the other.
