Cat Sandion has a second dance session exploring the theme of Time.

2. Time and chime

In the second session of the unit the children continue to explore the theme of Time. They jump up in the morning to the sound of an alarm clock, swing like the clock pendulum and show the different speeds of the clock hands. They then put all their actions and move together for one final big Time dance!
