Inspired by Spinjitzu, the martial arts infused movements used by the characters of NINJAGO, pupils will use a gentle and dynamic sequence of motions to meet creative literacy outcomes. In-class and homework activities are grouped around the six Masters and their elements Green Energy, Water, Lightning, Fire, Earth and Ice. Each lesson and accompanying homework activity will result in a new page of their very own comic book. This resource supports physical education (PE), English, PSHE, citizenship and art and design across Key Stage 2 (England, Northern Ireland, Wales) and Second Level (Scotland).
