Words to know

goal
a specific aim or target that a person or group strives to achieve
SMART targets
a goal should be: specific, measurable, achievable, recorded and timed
commitment
the dedication and determination to follow through on a plan or goal with consistent effort and responsibility

Common mistakes

Pupils think a goal or a target it the end product or outcome to be achieved.

A goal can be based on outcome, however it can also be a goal set about the performance or process of doing something. For example, building a 3-2-1 pyramid in the quickest time compared to building the 3-2-1 pyramid without dropping any objects.

For parents, carers and teachers
  • The examples of equipment used in this lesson can be changed for any alternative building objects or implements that can be used a 'keepy uppy' task.
