^{Music and drama based units, pupils will be able to show awareness of rhyme by identifying words that rhyme in poems and songs. Pupils will create sounds using instruments including playing along to music demonstrating some awareness of rhythm. Pupils will also begin to explore moving rhythmically to music.}

^{Performance based unit. Pupils will have worked as a group to choreograph a class dance, learned the dance, prepared to perform their scene and taken part in either an in person or  virtual performance. Pupils will also have designed their character including any costume and make up. Pupils will have considered what props and scenery they might need and will have taken part in producing these.} 

^{Dance and music based unit, pupils will have explored the senses of sight and sound through music and movement. Pupils will explore the sounds in their environment, identifying what they are; they will also explore the different sounds made by a variety of percussion and stringed instruments. Pupils will consider how we share information about movements and use descriptive language to share movements. Pupils will know the musical term ‘beat’ and begin to identify this in music.} 

^{Music and dance based unit, students will work as a team to create a song and accompanying dance looking at the school rules. Students will put into practice prior learning on beat, melody and movement planning, promoting teamwork skills, creative thinking and beginning to gain some understanding of non-verbal communication. To review the school rules, supporting students with understanding what the rules mean and applying this to our actions.}

^{A performance based unit, pupils will plan, rehearse and perform a music and dance based show for either the members of the school community or parents, based on a topic of their choosing and working collaboratively across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5. Through teamwork pupils will choreograph class dances, they will consider either the use of musical instruments or signing to enhance their performance as appropriate. Pupils will reflect on their performances and give feedback on what went well and what they could change in the future.}
