Year 2 - Physical education

Jumping combinations: hop, step, jump

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 link the hop, step and jump together to try and jump as far as possible.

Key Notes

  • Move: using the correct technique for the hop, step and jump will enable us to jump further.
  • Move: linking jumps in combination requires control and fluency between each jump.
  • Think: linking the hop, step and jump together requires a lot of concentration to be able to jump as far as possible.
  • Feel: striving to improve our technique when combining the hop, step and jump to jump further shows self-belief.
  • Connect: supporting our partner and providing them with feedback promotes respect and fairness.

Vocabulary To Learn

  • hop: to continuously jump on one foot at the same time
  • step: to take off on one foot and land on the other foot
  • fluency: continuous smooth movement where one action flows to the next

Common Mistakes To Avoid

  • Pupils may find it difficult to understand that this combination of three elements creates one jump that can be measured from the start of the hop, to the end of the jump.

3 Quick Questions (With Answers)

1. Explain the lesson in two key points.

Move: using the correct technique for the hop, step and jump will enable us to jump further. Move: linking jumps in combination requires control and fluency between each jump.

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

to continuously jump on one foot at the same time.

3. Correct this common mistake.

Mistake: Pupils may find it difficult to understand that this combination of three elements creates one jump that can be measured from the start of the hop, to the end of the jump. Correction: When we combine elements into a hop, step, jump combination we can benefit from the power and momentum that builds up. By increasing the distance travelled in each element, we increase the overall distance covered in the jump combination.
