Jumping combinations

Locomotion: running, jumping and dodging

Unit Summary

This unit will increase pupils' motor competence when dodging and jumping. Pupils will understand when and why we dodge and apply this knowledge showing self belief in simple games. Pupils will use their jumping skills in games too and use this understanding to jump in combination by linking jumps.

Lesson Summary

You will learn to explore jumping using different combinations to jump over a greater distance.

Key Notes

  • Move: combining jumps successfully requires us to control each landing before beginning the next jump.
  • Move: jumping for distance requires us to keep our head up, drive our arms and bend our knees to control the landing.
  • Think: using the correct technique for jumping while combining jumps together will increase the distances we can jump.
  • Feel: striving to jump further shows a great level of self-belief.
  • Connect: helping others to improve their technique demonstrates empathy.

Vocabulary To Learn

  • distance: the length of space between two points. This might mean how far an athlete has jumped
  • combinations: linking individual jumps together to create a sequence of jumps
  • control: landing softly with shoulders in line with the hips

Common Mistakes To Avoid

  • Some pupils might think that their ability to jump far is fixed and cannot be changed or improved.
