1. Year 4 dance Spring 1 Characters- Charlie and the Chocolate factory ABOUT THE UNIT In this unit children focus on creating characters and narrative through movement and gesture. They gain inspiration from literacy characters. They work with a partner and in small groups. In dance as a whole, children think about how to use movement to explore and communicate ideas and issues, and their own feelings and thoughts. As they work they develop an awareness of the historical and cultural origins of different dances.
