What you’ll learn
I can try different techniques in order to jump high.
Key learning points
- Move: jumping high and leaping requires bending the knees, swinging the arms up and reaching tall.
- Think: curiosity supports the exploration of jumping high and leaping, to figure out the most effective technique.
- Feel: trying hard to improve our technique for jumping high and leaping requires self belief.
- Connect: sharing ideas and playing by the rules promotes empathy and fairness.
Words to know
- high
- how far into the air we have jumped
- leap
- a jump where we travel upwards and forwards moving from one foot to the other
- over
- a push off the ground and into the air using the legs travelling over an object
Common mistakes
Pupils confuse the techniques for leaping and jumping. Pupils focus on not being tagged and forget to jump or leap properly.
Demonstrate both techniques. Explain the importance of using the correct technique and demonstrate. Bring in a rule that if pupils run instead of using their jumping skills, they have 'tagged' themselves and must stop and perform 5 star jumps.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Split the class into groups and work through the lesson progressions with smaller groups so you can move groups on when they are ready and provide extra support for groups when it's needed.
