What you’ll learn
I can link and perform jumps in combination and under control whilst moving around a space.
Key learning points
- Move: linking different jumps in combination requires us to use the correct technique and a controlled landing.
- Think: observing and concentrating on our partner's performance enables us to provide feedback and improve their ideas.
- Feel: trying hard to improve our ideas for linking jumps requires self-belief.
- Connect: working together to teach each other our jumping combinations demonstrates empathy and wanting to achieve.
Words to know
- linking
- successfully adding two jumps together so that they flow one after the other
- combinations
- linking individual jumps together to create a sequence of jumps
- control
- landing softly with shoulders in line with the hips
Common mistakes
Pupils might think that jumping is a static action to be performed on the spot.
Jumping can be a dynamic movement that travels through space and can be linked in combination to gain momentum and speed.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Activities in this lesson provide opportunities for children to explore a wide range of jumping techniques and styles. They should be encouraged to be creative and try lots of different ideas ensuring that they always take off and land on their feet.
