This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
Unit Summary
This unit will support the development of quality movement by focusing on form, body control and foundational movement skills such as agility, balance and coordination. Pupils will be challenged to accurately replicate an increasingly complex variety of movements with control and fluency.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to apply the best technique for jumping in different ways.
Key Notes
- Move: swinging the arms in time with the intended direction of travel increases momentum and distance achieved.
- Think: analysing your performance enables refinement of technique to help improve performance.
- Feel: committing to perfect foot placement on every take off and landing demonstrates resilience.
- Connect: encouraging yourself and/or others shows a commitment to improvement.
Vocabulary To Learn
- technique: the correct way of performing a movement or skill
- momentum: the force that keeps you moving once you've started
- resilience: the ability to keep going and recover quickly when things are difficult or don't go as planned
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Focus on pushing off from the ground with maximum force for height or distance and prioritising speed of execution.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: swinging the arms in time with the intended direction of travel increases momentum and distance achieved. Think: analysing your performance enables refinement of technique to help improve performance.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'technique'
the correct way of performing a movement or skill.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Focus on pushing off from the ground with maximum force for height or distance and prioritising speed of execution. Correction: The most critical skill for precision, confidence and long term athletic health is the ability to efficiently absorb and redirect force upon landing. A powerful jump with a weak or uncontrolled landing risks injury.
