What you’ll learn
I can perform a range of activities that require excellent coordination and remain motivated to try my hardest.
Key learning points
- Move: bouncing, rolling, throwing, dribbling and kicking a ball with effective coordination requires control.
- Move: our hearts will beat faster and our muscles work harder when completing coordination exercises within the circuit.
- Think: showing good hand and foot coordination across a range of activities requires focus and curiosity.
- Feel: working together and striving to help each other to improve throughout the circuit shows great empathy.
- Connect: striving to improve our coordination throughout will lead to increased success and shows self-belief.
Words to know
- coordination
- The ability to efficiently use different parts of the body together
- circuit
- a series of physical activities or exercises
- together
- working in cooperation with others to undertake a task
Common mistakes
Pupils may think that coordination relates only to movement of their own body.
Coordination requires many different elements to work in combination. Improving balance, timing, ball tracking and the way we grip equipment can all contribute to improved coordination.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Equipment listed allows for both partners to exercise at the same time. If only half the equipment is available, pupils can take turns at each station. Alternatively, these stations can be removed from the circuit and another activity repeated twice.
