Words to know
- leadership
- to guide, inspire and unite our teammates towards achieving a common goal
- adapt
- to change or adjust in response to new conditions or requirements.
- equipment

Common mistakes
Pupils believe that the more equipment they use in an activity, the better the activity will be.
Ensure pupils understand how to use equipment to enhance the activity. Too much equipment can make it confusing and unsafe.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Ensure that all equipment is available and easily accessible for the session. Doing this beforehand will help keep the lesson flowing.
