The requirement to teach dance, swimming and gymnastics is perhaps one of the most troublesome parts of the National Curriculum, for each is a specialist subject requiring both knowledge and confidence to deliver.

And yet strangely, although each of these subject areas does have a very particular agenda of its own, it is possible to deliver quality teaching and learning, even without a specialist teacher.

What’s more such teaching can be delivered without your colleagues having to go on an expensive course and without having previous experience of the subject area.

This is because all three areas – dance, swimming and gymnastics – have very clear and particular issues within them, that can be taught step-by-step, even by a non-specialist.

Once one knows the step-by-step approach, then the teaching can progress towards the most positive of outcomes that will enthral the children and impress both parents and inspectors.

This unique approach, aimed specifically at the non-specialist teacher with little or no experience of teaching the topic, is covered in three separate teacher manuals, each of which reveals a complete methodology for teaching the specific discipline.

The three volumes “The Complete Guide to Primary Dance,” “Primary Swimming” and “Primary Gymnastics” can be purchased separately or as one selection (in which case the price is significantly reduced.

You can order the volumes:

● On our website (where there are more details of the contents of the manuals) via the links above

I look forward to hearing from you. Please do call me on 0113 255 5665 or email me at hk@hkeurope.com if you have any questions about these three unique volumes.
