Unit Summary
This unit will enable pupils to explore and perform a variety of jumps, knowing how to take off and land safely. Pupils will create sequences in groups, combining a variety of jumps and turns on apparatus with changes in level, direction, canon,unison and flow.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to create a sequence that includes three jumps using a variety of apparatus while jumping from different heights, with control and extension.
Key Notes
- Move: quality jumps require bending the knees, swinging the arms with control and extension when using apparatus.
- Move: creating a sequence of jumps on or off apparatus requires constantly applying flow.
- Think: creating a range of quality jumping ideas to link with flow on a variety of apparatus requires evaluation.
- Feel: the determination to try multiple different locations on the apparatus to jump from shows great integrity.
- Connect: creating a sequence of jumps in pairs requires collaboration and trust in each other's ideas.
Vocabulary To Learn
- jump: pushing off the ground or equipment with our legs to go up into the air
- height: how high off the ground something is
- apparatus: equipment made for a particular task
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils may rush the jump and not be balanced before they take off from the apparatus. Pupils may misplace their feet on the apparatus. Pupils may land with stiff knees or poor body position.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: quality jumps require bending the knees, swinging the arms with control and extension when using apparatus. Move: creating a sequence of jumps on or off apparatus requires constantly applying flow.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'jump'
pushing off the ground or equipment with our legs to go up into the air.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Pupils may rush the jump and not be balanced before they take off from the apparatus. Pupils may misplace their feet on the apparatus. Pupils may land with stiff knees or poor body position. Correction: Always check balance and engage the core before jumping. Ensure a solid stance before jumping. Pupils should bend their knees to absorb impact on landing and make sure their weight is centered over their feet.
