(i. e Face hurdle effectively forwards or shake head? ) L. O 2 – To develop pupils Challenge 2 – Can children use teaching points to hurdle knowledge of how they can use effectively their body to maximise performance Numeracy in P. E! Literacy in P. E! - children. Inspiration Challenge 3 – Can watch others in and. P. E! suggest ways forrelationship them to improve. So. W Milestone Focus: 1 (Uses knowledge of the between the body and exercise to improve various fitness components). 6 (Utilise new skills in competitive situations, as an individual or part of a team). 7 (Utilise knowledge of technique to perform at an optimum level in different types of throw, jump and run). Lesson Plan: Warm-up – Command Response: Pupils move continuously in set area, upon hearing a command they must react as quickly as possible. Add the commands ‘Hop’ (Land on same leg as used for take-off) ‘Step’ (Jump from one foot to another, ensure pupils leave ground) ‘Jump’ (From one foot to two feet). STRETCH. Then repeat 2. Skill intro – Sprinting Experiment: You are now about to conduct a simple experiment to help the children understand/remember the teaching points of sprinting. For each part of the body the children are going to practice running in 3 different ways, after which they will have to select the style they wish to use (Ask them to place in an imaginary place – we like to tell the children they have a ‘Coaches corner’ in their brain and that is where we’d like them to store this information). Pupils work in pairs, ‘A’ performs the action twice whilst ‘B’ observes, they then swap. For arms ask the children to 1) Run with arms glued to their side. 2) Run with arms above their head constantly. 3) Run with their arms bend at the side (as usual), with their hands never going below the hip, or above the lip (their mouth). Once all have tried this ask them to select one style for the Coaches corner. Complete the same process for other parts of the body (see

Skill intro – Hurdles: Split class into 4 groups (based on ability). Pupils take it in turns to attempt hurdles, return to the back of the line once completed. Differentiate by the distance between hurdles and the size of the hurdles (M/A larger hurdles, close together. L/A smaller hurdles, further apart). Progress to competition phase. Each group has a time limit to do as many shuttles as possible. 3. Skill intro – Triple Jump (Use Safety & Action lines) Begin with hop phase – pupils measure how far they can hop. Then step in isolation. Lastly jump in isolation. Begin to instruct pupils to add the phases together (Hop then step. Then Hop,

Begin to instruct pupils to add the phases together (Hop then step. Then Hop, step, jump). Pupils should not pause between each phase. Use mini-plenaries to reinforce teaching points and model good practice. 3. Bull nosed Javelin - Use field events set-up (Safety Line, Action Line). Pupils cannot move from either line until you tell them too. Be strict with this rule, it is for safety purposes. Allow pupils 3 to 4 throws using trial & error. All pupils must wait until the pupil has thrown before you can inform they can retrieve their javelin. Mini-plenary – Q&A, How can achieve more

Coach Camp – It is now time to put the children’s knowledge to the test. Welcome to Coach Camp! Organise your class into pairs and set out 4 activities. This activity is really simple and effective.

Teaching points – Evaluating & Improving Performance The children will need to draw on their knowledge of how the skill should be executed. They will then need to be able to identify any faults & think on their feet on how to correct them! 4. Relay Technique All pupils stay on Safety line Until told otherwise.

This activity is really simple and effective. The children will complete an Athletics circuit (Javelin, Shotput, Hurdles & Triple Jump). At each station they will evaluate Javelin and improve the performance of their partner. – taking it in turns to assume the role of a coach or an athlete!
