The Giraffe, the Pelly & Me - Dance lessons KS1

4 dance lesson plans covering themes & ideas from “The Giraffe, the Pelly & Me” by Roald Dahl. These cover

• The Giraffe & the Pelly
• Window Cleaning
• The Burglar
• The Sweet Shop

All of which link closely to their understanding of thecharacters and plot of the story.

Each plan enables the teacher to deliver the lesson simply by asking questions & setting creative tasks for the students - this encourages imaginative responses, high levels of engagement, opportunities for students to work together, share ideas, analyse and evaluate.

The lessons are written in a clear formula & include hints & tips along the way as well as the key skill of each section being identified in the right hand column.

This method of working is very inclusive of children with different physical abilities and levels of experience - it also includes an i-Tunes link for suitable music - the tracks suggested would also be available on other platforms such as Spotify or YouTube.
