What you’ll learn
I can jump in a variety of ways and understand how to jump using the correct technique.
Key learning points
- Move: jumping requires swinging arms, bending the knees and looking forwards.
- Think: curiosity enables us to try a variety of jumping techniques to figure out the most effective one to use.
- Feel: self belief enables the exploration of different jumping techniques.
- Connect: congratulating others shows empathy and will improve their jumping performance.
Words to know
- jump
- using your legs to push yourself up off the ground and into the air for a moment
- take off
- the first phase of a jump where the athlete is preparing to leave the ground
- landing
- coming back into contact with the ground after being in the air
Common mistakes
Pupils don't land in a controlled way. Pupils don't focus forwards or use their arms when they jump.
Demonstrate an effective jump with a controlled landing. Explain and demonstrate jumping by swinging the arms up then down and while focusing forwards.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Use cones to mark out distances that pupils can aim for when jumping instead of using beanbags to mark their jumping distances.
