  • Place markers all around the hall floor to aid the children in finding space.

    • The lesson starts with the children running lightly around the hall into spaces - no bumping or touching. The next progression is for the children to run lightly on their toes to all areas of the hall before then running using small steps.

    Ask the children to then run using large steps / strides and stop like a statue on the command from the teacher.
