We have been dancing to three different dances which involved minibeasts. The dancing let the pupils focus on being able to use space around them effectively, work collaboratively in small groups and sequence movements together. The first dance was called ‘The Bees do the Waggle Dance’. The inspiration around the dance was knowing how particular patterns of movement reflect how bees pass on messages. The second dance was called ‘Digging for Worms’. The inspiration around this dance was to focus on how useful the common earth worm can be in the garden. The worm unfortunately nearly becomes a tasty meal for a robin in the garden … fortunately, the worm is stubborn and manages to escape! Our final dance is whereby the pupils move around like dragonflies, before combining elements from all three dances. This involves making a minibeast dance incorporating all there dances together. Well done for fantastic dancing P6! ### Animals P6 [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/animals-p6/p6%201.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/animals-p6/p6%201.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/animals-p6/p62.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/animals-p6/p62.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/animals-p6/p63.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/animals-p6/p63.jpg) [ Healthy Lifestyles 4M](http://elip.org/blog/2021-05-26-09-42-19-healthy-lifestyles-4m) [P7 Euro 2020! ](http://elip.org/blog/2021-06-11-11-36-19-p7-euro-2020) ![Tor View School](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/logo/TV_SVT_Logo_website_Footer_Logos.png) **Tor View School** Clod Lane Haslingden Lancashire BB4 6LR Tel: 01706 214640 ### Useful Links - [Educational Excellence](https://torview.org/educational-excellence/welcome) - [The Sea View Trust](http://theseaviewtrust.co.uk/welcome) - [Valley College](https://www.valleycollege.co.uk/) - [Embrace TSH](https://embracetsh.co.uk/) **The Sea View Trust (Reg in England and Wales)** Trust Central Team The Sea View Trust Ewood Campus, Clod Lane Rossendale, BB4 6LR © Copyright 2020–2026 Tor View School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](http://elip.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
