Jumping high

Locomotion: running and jumping

Unit Summary

The unit will increase pupils' motor competence when running, providing an understanding of where we run and why. Pupils will show self belief, exploring jumping in different directions, at different speeds, heights and distances. Pupils will learn how and why we jump with the correct technique.

Lesson Summary

You will learn to try different techniques in order to jump high.

Key Notes

  • Move: jumping high and leaping requires bending the knees, swinging the arms up and reaching tall.
  • Think: curiosity supports the exploration of jumping high and leaping, to figure out the most effective technique.
  • Feel: trying hard to improve our technique for jumping high and leaping requires self belief.
  • Connect: sharing ideas and playing by the rules promotes empathy and fairness.

Vocabulary To Learn

  • high: how far into the air we have jumped
  • leap: a jump where we travel upwards and forwards moving from one foot to the other
  • over: a push off the ground and into the air using the legs travelling over an object

Common Mistakes To Avoid

  • Pupils confuse the techniques for leaping and jumping. Pupils focus on not being tagged and forget to jump or leap properly.

3 Quick Questions (With Answers)

1. Explain the lesson in two key points.

Move: jumping high and leaping requires bending the knees, swinging the arms up and reaching tall. Think: curiosity supports the exploration of jumping high and leaping, to figure out the most effective technique.

2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'high'

how far into the air we have jumped.

3. Correct this common mistake.

Mistake: Pupils confuse the techniques for leaping and jumping. Pupils focus on not being tagged and forget to jump or leap properly. Correction: Demonstrate both techniques. Explain the importance of using the correct technique and demonstrate. Bring in a rule that if pupils run instead of using their jumping skills, they have 'tagged' themselves and must stop and perform 5 star jumps.
