Physical Education; Dance; rhythm; early years

Dance-related activities, despite being well accepted in schools from kindergarten to high school, are little explored in School Physical Education. In view of this, the objective of this research was to develop a didactic proposal centered on the Thematic Unit - Dances, which can support Physical Education teachers to plan on the subject, with a 3rd year class of the Early Years of Elementary School in the municipality of Pacatuba/CE . The participants of the experiment were children from a 3rd year class (morning) at the Walney do Carmo Lopes School of Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education in the academic year of 2023. The work was qualitative in nature, based on a descriptive experience report, interpreting data observed in the process of teaching-learning of a pedagogical sequence. The instruments for data collection in the field research were a pedagogical plan of action structured with eight moments, a field diary of the teacher-researcher and a portfolio of activities carried out by the students during classes. The objectives of this study were achieved, as a didactic sequence was developed and experimented with children from a 3rd year class in the early years of elementary school. They were able to present all the requested activities even without prior knowledge of the subject, based on the idea that they themselves built about dance based on rhythm. What can subsidize and reference future planning of EFE teachers. The sequence was described with details of what the children absorbed from their understanding of the subject. The potential of this research can highlight that it starts from something that is intrinsic to all human beings, rhythm. Builds knowledge from what students know. The limits of this research are mainly due to time, the workload of the curricular component is short. For the perception of dance in/from the school beyond the choreography montages for the event. Student experience unrestricted by gender or religion that they have a right to know widely implemented. That the federal, state and municipal education systems can contribute to the continuing education of PE teachers on the subject of dance at school. The discussions stood out due to the fact that gender issues did not affect the execution of activities. Religious issues limit a student's participation. Nursery rhymes seem to be reduced in children's general repertoire. Dance attracts the attention of students with intellectual disabilities. Common sense was shown in the children's drawings that were repeated to symbolize each musical style. We conclude this research stating that any thematic unit and its objects of knowledge are possible to be developed through planning and research.
