Justin Fletcher has the first dance of the unit - about eggs that hatch.
1. Whose egg is this?
Spring is really buzzing and eggs are everywhere in Egg stravaganza! First, eggs hatch into all sorts of creatures - insects, frogs, ducks and dinosaurs, with opportunities for lots of animal movements.

Lesson summary:
Warm-up: follow-the-leader class line, to make a class-circle.

Duck eggs into baby ducklings: standing in a line, waddling and swimming gracefully.
Dinosaur eggs into baby dinosaurs: stretching, heavy-stamping and freezing in dinosaur-shapes.
Egg party: dance like your favourite animal from today.
