Lesson video

Keeping safe in this lesson.

If you are unsure about doing any of the activities in this lesson, make sure you have a trusted adult nearby when you start them.

This lesson should ideally take place indoors, but you could work outside if it's warm and dry enough and it's safe to do so.

Ensure there is space for you to work safely, including overhead.

Make sure that you don't have socks on and that your floor is not slippery.

Place make sure you're wearing comfortable clothing, put your hair up if needed, and remove any jewellery.

Pause the video now if you need to do anything to get ready.

In this lesson you will need your comfy clothing, you will need your writing equipment which is a pen and paper, and you need to just double check that you've got enough space to work in safely.

So today's lesson is going to consist of our warm up, a taught phrase, you're going to then going to have a go at evaluating your performance, and then you'll take part in your exit quiz.

You're going to take part in a warm up first.

I'm going to give you some ideas to help get you started and then you're free to create your own.

As in previous lessons, it's really important we conduct a thorough warm up before we start any physical activity.

So let's just recap the components of a great warm up.

We should have pulse-raising activities, mobilisation of joints and some stretching activities.

What I would like you to do is to spend a few minutes choosing your favourite song and conducting your own warm up.

Just to remind you of some things that you can include, things like jogging on the spot, running round the room, some star jumps.

Things like mobilising your joints including our shoulder rolls that we've covered before.

Rolling down through the spine.

Thinking about swinging exercises.

Swinging down though the body.

And some stretching activities that are going to help open up those joints.

So you could think about rolling down into a plank, taking a stretch here and then uncurling up again.

Have a little play around with some of those ideas and those of your own, and then come back to me when you're ready to start the rest of your lesson.

Let's look at some keywords.

The first thing we need to learn today is what a phrase is, and this is a short sequence of linked movements.

We also need to know what accuracy means.

So accuracy means demonstrating that you can recreate the movement within the same style, effort and shape to that of the original.

Our learning focus for today is going to be to replicate a taught phrase linked to the function of a phone and its apps.

You're also then going to have a go at evaluating your own performance and identifying areas that you can improve.

Let's look at some more keywords.

These ones are specifically linked to how we use our phone.

So we've got scrolling which is sliding a thumb or finger lengthways up and down a phone screen to move the page.

We've also got swiping which is sliding a thumb or finger across the screen, e.

g to change a page.

We also have tapping, and this is using our fingers or thumbs on a specific part of the screen, for example, to open an app.

You will need to know this phrase really well for this unit.

It explores different functions that we are able to perform when using a smartphone.

Please watch the video on the next slide.

This is the finished version of the phrase that we will learn.

You will also need to answer some questions on it, so you may wish to watch it more than once.

So we've got these function movements.

I want you to think about whether you saw scrolling, swiping or tapping in the phrase that you've just watched.

Did you also see anything else that could be in there and what was it or what do you think it could be? This is purely your interpretation and actually there is no right or wrong answer, it's just really interesting to see what you pull out from the movement material.

Pause the video to complete your task.

So spend some time working and thinking about what actions you could see.

Write them down and try to describe the movement.

Come back to me once you're finished.

So it's now time to start learning the phrase.

You will learn it in sections so don't panic if one section is more tricky than another.

Spend more time picking it up before you move on.

So now we've had a think about what those movements represent in terms of functions on our phones, we're going to start learning the phrase altogether.

So we start off with this scrolling action.

So I have my feet apart but in a parallel position and my toes pointing forward and my arms down by my sides.

I throw my right arm up really, really sharp, and then it scrolls down really, really smooth and stops in front of our chest.

Followed by the left arm to here.

The counts for that are a one, two, three, four and five, six, seven, eight, and one.

We then do a big swipe round, two, three, four.

And we turn so we're in a small, almost like we're about to run position.

So my right foot swivels in and onto the ball of foot and my left foot turns out and I slightly bend my knee, and I'm pushing my arms in a parallel position towards the wall or towards the side.

So that's what your hands look like but facing this way.

Let's see that again.

So we've got a one, two, three, four.

And a five, six, seven, eight.

And a one, two, three, four.

We then tap our hands down.

Tap, tap, tap, tap.

It doesn't matter which hand you start with because they're going to both end up parallel but low-level instead.

So you go tap, tap, tap, tap.

So pause the video there, have a little practise, make sure that you've got that really, really confidently, and then we'll move onto the next section.

So spend a minute or two working through this section of the phrase and making sure that you focus on the accuracy of your actions.

If you need to go back and check something on the original video, you can do that.

So we finished here.

We had our, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.

From there, you join your feet into a parallel facing the front and you uncurl up.

So your hands stay there and you're looking down, and your hand curls up.

So we're here, duh, duh, duh, duh.

In, uncurl.

We're then going to do this shoulder shrug action.

And if you think about when you want to move apps around on your home screen, and you press and hold them and they kind of vibrate and shimmer, it's a little bit like that.

So we're shimmering and we're moving our square to somewhere else.

So you shimmer down, you let your head drop.

You then use your left arm to pull you over, and then your right arm is going to follow it.

So it goes over and it turns you to the back.

Let's do that one more time.

So we're here, your head drops.

You then pull your left arm up, the right arm joins it.

Your left arm then pulls you out, and you close.

Pause the video and spend one to two minutes working through this section of the phrase, again focusing on the accuracy of your actions.

Come back to me once you're done.

From there, you just take a step out to your right with that hand there, and that's like you're swiping or pushing a picture or something across to the side.

So let's do that again.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.

Tuck in and fold.

Shimmer down.

Head, arms over the top, pull round, close the feet and push to the side.

The final part of our phrase, after we've done this push to the side, we're going to take a lunging step forward.

So this arm comes down.

You need to think about lifting your shoulders up and back.

And as you do that, your right leg is going to unfold and it's going to pull you forward.

I want you to imagine that someone's got a piece of string attached to your knee and then another one attached to your foot.

So the knee lifts up by the string and then the string on your foot is then going to pull forward and that is going to pull you and then me, your feet together at the end.

So let's just have another look at that.

So you were from here.

Push across, pull up, pull out and close.

So that's only just one action on its own but I thought it was important to maybe focus on that idea of the string pulling you.

If I stand slightly sideways, hopefully you can see how that action is initiated through that knee into that foot and our body leans backwards.

So have a go at just practising that action on its own.

Then what we're going to do is put the whole thing together.

Pause the video here and spend about one to two minutes working through this section of the phrase.

Once again, focus on the accuracy of your actions.

So let's put that whole phrase together now nice and slowly.

So we've got seven, and a one, two, three, four, and five, six, seven eight.

And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Pause the video here, have a practise at putting all of that together, run it a few times, and then come back.

Now you're going to spend about five minutes working through the whole exercise and putting the whole thing together.

Focus on the accuracy of the actions and emphasising each of the functions.

So, for example, I really want to see, if you're swiping, that the action looks like a swipe.

Please record yourself performing the phrase if you can.

If you are unable to record it, you can try showing someone else in your house or wherever you're working, or performing it in front of a mirror so that you can see what the movement looks like.

So you've got five minutes now to have a go at recording or performing the phrase.

Come back once you're finished.

Let's watch the original version again.

What I want you to do now is aim to notice if there are any differences in your performance compared to mine.

So spend one to two minutes thinking about what elements were accurate compared to the video and areas that weren't so much.

Write these down.

How can we check for accuracy in our own work? Write down one suggestion that isn't using video.

So have a think about something else that isn't recording it and watching it back that you can do to check whether your work is accurate or not.

Then what I would like you to do is to write down two ways that you were successful at demonstrating your accuracy.

So two ways that you did something really well where it looked liked the video version.

Then finally, I'd like you to write down one way that you could make your work more accurate.

Pause the video here just quickly so you can jot those things down.

Right, let's have a think.

So one way that you could look for accuracy in your own work that wasn't using a video is one of the options that I gave you before which was to perform it in front of somebody else and get them to give you feedback.

Then you could use that feedback to help you decide how you were going to improve.

Let's think about the two ways that you were successful at demonstrating your accuracy.

So you could have picked out something like the swiping actions looked really accurate compared to the original version, and it could be that maybe you had a really great sense of timing on the tapping actions.

Something that you could do to make your work look more accurate would be to maybe think about the size of your actions being replicated so that they were being replicated so that they looked the same size as the actions on the original video.

So what you're going to do now is spend five minutes rehearsing the material again and focusing on the things that you have just identified so you're able to perform the whole phrase.

You could video yourself once more performing the phrase and then watch it back to compare your first and second attempts.

If you're not videoing your work, you could perform the phrase again and ask whoever watched you last time to see if they noticed any improvements.

Come back once you've done that.

It is now time for you to complete your cool down.

Don't forget, cooling down is a really important aspect of taking part in a physical class.

So please make sure that you do it.

At the end of a physical class, we need to make sure that we do a cool down.

The reasons for this are to help bring our breathing rate back down to normal, to stop blood from pooling in your muscles, and ending up with things like cramp, aching muscles, building up lactic acid.

So ways that we can do that are to go from jogging down into a walk.

You could think about some long and slow stretches.

Things like you did in your warm up but in reverse.

So rather than increasing the intensity, we're trying to decrease the intensity.

So you could use some of those exercises that you did in your warm up but make them slower and make them more deliberate.

So have a go at doing your own cool down and I will see you again very soon, thanks.

And don't forget to share your work with us.

If you want to, please ask your parent or carer to share your work on Twitter, and don't forget.

Thank you, bye.
