Lesson video

We need to look at how to stay safe in this lesson.

First of all, a parent or a trusted adult should be with you throughout the lesson.

This lesson should take place indoors.

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

Use bare feet.

Make sure the floor is not slippery.

Wear comfortable clothing, tie your hair up if needed and remove any jewellery such as watches, rings, necklaces or earrings.

Please pause the video now if there is anything you need to do to get ready.

The equipment you will require this lesson is PE kit, so T-shirt, shorts, leggings or tracksuit bottoms, bare feet.

Sponge balls or something similar or what we've used in previous lessons, rolled up socks.

You also needs some kind of container and a pencil and paper but that could be anything to write with a pen, pencil, crayon, and something to write on.

Hello, my name is Mr. Frapwell and I'm here to work with you today to learn about how we can improve our control and accuracy when throwing and catching.

This lesson will build on what we know about our throwing and provide a focus for us around evaluating, recording and monitoring, so that we can improve our throwing and catching.

All I need to do is get changed ready for the lesson.

Yes, ready.

The lesson is structured in four parts.

The first part is the warmup.

The second part we will evaluate our throwing and catching and the third part, we will record and monitor your progress and the fourth part is the cool-down.

In this lesson, there are three star words.

The first is evaluate.

The second is record and the third is monitor.

Through out the lesson we will introduce these star words at each section and then go on to explain how they are important for your physical education.

In the warm-up we are going to get our bodies ready for activity.

For the warm-up, you will require four markers and you can see two of mine, my two sliders by the side of me and there are two more markers, I've got two blue cones in front of them forming a square area.

So a reminder for the points about control and accuracy of an underarm throw.

You hold the ball, the object in your dominant hand, for most of you it will be right.

You then look in the direction you want to throw the object.

It could be a marker in the corner, both feet are facing in the direction in which you are throwing and one foot will be forward because I am throwing with my right hand, your left foot will be forward.

It is the opposite if you are left handed.

If you are your dominant hand is your left hand then your right foot will be forward.

Swing your arm back and then swing it forward, towards the target.

What you are then going to do is move away from the ball, when you get to the side of your area you will change direction.

And if you remember you change direction, if I'm going to my right, you push off your left foot to help you change direction.

You then are going to put your little fingers together so your hands are like a book, an open book and you use that to scoop up the ball.

If you watch, I scooped the ball up.

I move to the side of my area, and I repeat.

Roll the ball, I move away, I change direction to my left this time, pushing on my right leg and then scoop up the ball.

Practise that, you throw and scooping up the ball, changing direction each time.

Practise that for two or three minutes.

Well done on warming up and getting your body ready for the activity on learning to come in the lesson.

Let's feel even better about that.

I'm going two say to be Mr. F, ready, ready? And you respond with two claps.

Let's practise, two with Mr. F, ready, ready? Well done.

I have a recap question for you.

One of these options is a false.

What are the main points to remember about the underarm throw? Option one, don't release the ball.

Option two, look towards the target.

Option three, point both feet towards the target and option four, swing your arm back, then forwards towards the target.

Which of those is false? Pause the video now if you need some thinking time.

If you answered, option one, don't release the ball, that is correct because it is false.

You have to release the ball.

In this section of the lesson, we will focus on throwing and catching, in particular, how we can evaluate and improve.

And evaluate is our first star word.

In physical education, it basically means we find out about things that we do.

because it's only you, you will self evaluate.

You will find out things that you can do to improve.

You will find out things about yourself when you are throwing and catching.

Let's evaluate.

I want to show you some practises that will help progress us to catching whatever object you are using.

Use the same points, object in your dominant hand, feet shoulder width apart and one leg is forward.

So if I'm right handed, my left leg is forward.

What I want you to do, is throw the ball up vertically.

And we know what vertical is because we did that in a vertical jump in a previous lesson.

And I then want you to try and clap, bring your hands together before the object hits the floor.

When you pick the object up, I want you to bring your middle fingers together like a book and grasp the object.

You can add movement to this by running to the side of your square, object vertically up, I forgot to clap in that demonstration, and then scoop the ball up.

So what I now want you to do is to be really accurate about your object moving vertically up and to check whether we can do that.

I just put a jumper on the floor in front of me.

And if I throw the object vertically up, it should land on the jumper.

You could use a cushion, you could use a wastepaper bin.

So all you're going to do, on the object to go vertically up and land it on the jumper.

For this next activity, we are now going to throw the objects in the air, vertically and catch it in two hands.

One of the reasons I've been getting you to clap is to get used to thinking of the movement after we've thrown the object in the air.

And sometimes when we are learning new things and we have to think of more than one thing, two or three things, we can sometimes forget or get confused.

So you have been getting used to throwing the object up and then clapping.

So this time when the ball goes in the air instead of clapping, we will just bring our hands together, to our two little fingers touch and then we then close around the object and just give a little.

What you have to do throughout however, is watch the ball.

So I'm going to demonstrate.

Right hand, left leg forward, I'm going to watch that ball and watch the object and then I will bring my hands together, ready? And you bring them together little fingers, and you clasp your hands around the ball, like a book shutting.

To help stop the ball bouncing out, just give a little.

So just move with the ball's movement.

One more time.

We are going to evaluate or as I said on the introduction slide, you will self evaluate.

And there are three times when you can self evaluate.

The first is before your throw and catch.

The second is during your throw and catch and the third is after.

So the things that we need to check, that we need to evaluate and then improve if we can, before I've put a drawing of a hand here to remind me that it's my dominant hand, that I hold, in my case my socks in, is on my dominant hand.

I then put my feet, it's a drawing of my feet, shoulder width apart with the opposite leg to my dominant hand forward.

So my dominant hand is my right and my opposite leg is my left.

So those are all the things that you can do before and I can make those checks and I'm ready to focus on evaluating during my throw and catch.

And here I've put an arrow going straight up.

Which is to remind me to throw my socks vertically.

The second, I've done a drawing of an eye that remind me to watch the ball as it goes up and comes down.

And the third, I've tried to draw a picture of a book which reminds me to bring my hands together like a book and then close my arms around the ball and give.

So I've done my checks before and I'm going to do my checks during.

I watched the ball, I made a book, I close my hands around the ball and I gave, I gave.

Afterwards, if that's gone well, do I need to improve anything? No, not at the moment, let's have another go.

So I was set everything looks right before, but during, I don't think that I got my hands together like a book quick enough.

So after, I missed the catch, I'm now thinking what can I do better so that I catch the ball next time.

And I just want to do that a bit quicker.

What I want you to do is every time you do that throw and catch or if you drop it, think what you need to do to improve, move around your area, do the same again, move around your area and keep practising.

To make it harder for some of you, if you are able to throw and catch quite quickly, then you can practise with one hand, you could practise with the other hand.

You could practise clapping and then catching.

Remember, you can make up your own challenges.

You know how to do that.

Let's evaluate and improve our throwing and catching.

Well done on practising your ability to evaluate before, during and after your throwing and catching.

Three with Mr. F, ready, ready, ready? Keep it going.

I have a true or false recap for you.

You can evaluate your throwing and catching, before, during and after the throwing or catching movement.

Is that true or is it false? Pause the video now, if you need some thinking time.

And if you answered true, that is correct, because you can evaluate your throwing and catching before, during and after the throwing or catching movement.

And you can do that for all movement.

In this section of the lesson, we will introduce our second and third star words.

We will still be focusing on throwing and catching but we will think about the things we might write down that help us remember our different attempts.

And that allows us to see any improvements, that allows us to monitor any improvements we've made.

So what I would like you to do in this section of the lesson is to record and monitor your throwing and catching.

And the record I would like you to keep involves three things.

The first, I would like you to write a number line on your piece of paper, just as I have done here and you can practise writing your numbers, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, that's my number line.

Every attempt, if I dropped the rolled up socks or missed them, I'll put across.

If I've caught the rolled up socks, I put a tick.

At the end of my 10 attempts, I can then count one, two, and write it, I record it, two catches out of 10 attempts.

The second record I'd like to keep is how you felt after only catching the rolled up socks twice.

I did I felt a bit sad.

And the third record I would like you to keep is what you think you need to focus on.

In my case, I put down my need to concentrate on my throw because it wasn't going up vertically, it was moving away from me and that made it difficult for me to catch.

It needs to go vertical, I concentrated on that.

My next lot of 10 attempts, one, two, three, four, I made four catches out of 10 attempts and I was happy.

At this time I said, I need to watch my rolled up socks with my eyes.

I need to focus on doing that better.

But the next attempt, it was four out of 10, the same as the previous attempt.

So I put a face that was in the middle, I wasn't happy, I wasn't sad, it was okay.

And my target after my evaluation then, my target was that I wanted to focus on my hands.

And look what happened next, five, that was my best score so far.

So there's my record, and if I monitor or I use my record, what I've written down to see my improvement, I can see I went from two to four to four to five.

Overall, I can see some improvement.

And I could also see how I felt.

And if I was sad or frustrated, I could then practise my positive thinking routine.

I can also see from my record, when I monitor the things I focused on, what I practised.

Well done on creating a record of the number of catches you made, how you felt about your performance and a record of what you thought you needed to improve.

And then well done on using the record to help you monitor your improvement, monitor your progress.

Three, with Mr. F, ready, ready, ready? Very well done.

So here's a recap for you.

There are four options and one of the options is false.

I want you to tell me which one is false.

What can you use a record of your activity for? Option one, to draw pictures.

Option two, to monitor how you feel during the activity.

Option three, to remember what you need to improve or option four, to monitor any improvement you make.

Pause the video now if you need some thinking time.

And if you answered option one, to draw pictures, that is correct.

You don't use a record of your throwing and catching activities so that you can draw pictures.

For the cool down, you're going to do some stretches on your arms and legs, that you know from previous lessons.

You're going to stretch your muscles out, to relax them.

Hold each stretch for seven to 10 seconds.

You're also going to relax your mind and you can do that by breathing in deeply and breathing out and saying to yourself, let it go.

Let go of any distractions.

Relax and de-stress yourself.

Well done on being responsible for your own cool down.

Two with Mr. F, ready, ready.

Well done.

A huge thank you for working with me in this lesson on finding out about how we can improve our control and accuracy when throwing and catching.

And what we learned is that we can evaluate, before, during and after movement.

And that can give us information that we need to record, can write it down in some form.

And that helps us monitor our improvement.

Next lesson, we will be focusing on how we can control our bodies to control objects when we're moving.

And that is the final lesson in our series on multi skills activity.

See you next time.
