Running as a team

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.
