| We invite you to dance with us and
Pooh Bear! This website breaks
the Pooh Bear dance down based on connection to the BC IRP for PE (K
- 7), analysis of the dance (Boorman, 1973), the
dance task progression broken down into sections,
management suggestions from teaching the dance,
assessment ideas and finally reflections from the
teachers teaching the content. The dance has been created for kindergarten and grade one students. Inspired by and created from the "Heffalumps and Woozles" music, the dance brings to life the Pooh story which can be found in the Introduction. The Pooh Bear dance has been created as part of the Education 445 creative movement course taught at the University of Victoria. The dance has been taught in a five lesson period to a kindergarten/grade one class. After the five lessons, the dance was performed for the school and the parents. In the Teacher Reflections you will be able to read about the creation process of the dance and of our experiences with teaching the dance to the students. We hope you enjoy Geoff and Christine's Pooh Bear Dance website! References Boorman, J. (1973). Dance and language experiences with children. Don Mills, Ontario, Longman Canada Ltd. Wall, J. and N.
