What you’ll learn
I can participate in a range of jumping challenges and take responsibility for officiating.
Key learning points
- Move: using good jump mechanics will help to achieve a personal best score.
- Think: approaching the bar from 30-40 degrees is the ideal angle for a successful scissor technique.
- Feel: playing a role in ensuring the competition is officiated properly leads to a sense of responsibility.
- Connect: congratulating others on their performances can help them to feel good about their accomplishments.
Words to know
- rules
- the restrictions of the challenge to ensure fairness among all competitors
- aim
- the desired outcome of the challenge
- challenge
- a task requiring skill and effort to overcome
Common mistakes
There may be pupils who feel confident and enthusiastic and want to take over all officiating and not allow others to do so.
All pupils should take some role in officiating. Assign roles such as scorecard keeper and person in charge of reading the aims and rules at each event.
For parents, carers and teachers
- If you are working inside or don't have access to a high jump area/long jump pit, you can do a long jump and vertical jump station. This series of challenges is likely to be much more enjoyable if groups are set by ability and competition between group members is kept as level as possible.
