They communicate different moods and ideas in their dances and repeat simple patterns in traditional dance. They produce a short series of linked actions. They show sufficient control to work safely with others when using games equipment and gymnastics apparatus and take some responsibility for taking it out and putting it away. They talk about what they and others have done and make simple suggestions about how to improve performance. They recognise and describe the changes that happen to their bodies during exercise.
Pupils respond imaginatively to different stimuli and activities.
They put forward their own ideas about what to include in a game, a longer series of actions in gymnastics or a simple dance. They recognise and follow the rules of an activity. They improve their performance through practising their skills and describe what they and others have done in order that it might be improved. Their movements show greater control, with improved tension and a clearer shape. Linked actions flow more smoothly.
