Hello, everyone.

My name's Mrs. Wiley, and I'm here with you today to take you through the fourth lesson in the key stage one locomotion unit.

Now, I know you'll be remote learning, so you could be working anywhere between your kitchen, your living room, even your bedroom or your garden.

Wherever you are, I hope you have fun today and you manage to get stuck in and get yourself moving lots.

So today we are gonna be looking at moving using high and low movements.

For this lesson, you'll need a safe working space, so make sure you've got plenty of room to move in.

A dice.

Maybe borrow one from some of your games in your home, or you could make one.

Soft objects to mark your race track.

Things like teddies or balls of socks or items of clothing.

Three to four cushions or pillows that you can stack up and make a nice safe climbing tower, and a sofa or armchair cushion that you could lean against a wall or sofa to make yourself a little tunnel and a climbing frame.

A timer would also be really useful today so you can time yourself and see if you're getting better.

Our outcome today is to be able to create a range of different movement ideas as you change between moving from high to low.

Our keywords we're gonna go through as my turn and your turn.

Firstly my turn.

High.

Your turn.

Brilliant.

High is to be raised up a level far from the ground.

My turn, low.

Your turn.

Brilliant.

Low is to be positioned close to the ground.

And our third one, my turn, ideas.

Your turn.

Great.

Ideas are our thoughts or plans about how to do or create something.

Let's get moving, shall we?

I want you to show what you know about changing movements between high and low.

Try and create a simple track in your home or a garden using soft items like teddies or socks.

Roll a dice and move once around your track using the action that matches your number.

Continue this for five to seven minutes.

If you roll a number one, you wanna be doing two foot to jumps around your track.

And number two, can you hop all the way around changing legs maybe if you get tired.

Number three is a skip.

Number four is a bell or bear crawl either on your hands or on your knees or toes.

And number five is slithering like a snake.

And number six is tiptoe with arms stretched high.

If you're in the garden, for example, and it's a little bit muddy to be sliding like a snake, just change that movement up for something a little bit different.

In a second, there's gonna be a little video of a boy having a go up this warmup.

Maybe watch it to get some ideas and then come back to me.

We can have a go.

Can you challenge yourself to keep moving between low and high levels for at least five minutes?

So moving between these different dice movements, which you'll notice some of them are really big and tall and some of them are quite low to the ground.

See if you can keep going for that amount of time.

Can you explore different movements and see if you can perform them at different levels?

And for example, can you do two for fitted jumps at a low and then a high level?

Really explore that moving at different heights.

Go on, have a go.

See how you get on.

Brilliant.

Well done everybody who had a great go at that warmup activity.

So today moving using high and low movements.

We are gonna start with a learning cycle that's focused on high and low control travel.

Then later on we're gonna move on some imaginative over and under.

Let's get side on high and low control travel, shall we?

Andeep and Laura are discussing how they could move around their own homes.

Andeep says, "When my mom asks me to go and clean my teeth, I always make it more exciting by going on an adventure to get there.

I slide under, then jump over the laser beams.

I imagine might be in my way.

" Laura says, "That sounds like fun.

Make sure your movements are controlled so you don't hurt yourself.

" Make you can pitch around Andeep having his adventure, can't she?

"I like thinking of different ideas for how to move too.

I need some ideas so I can sneak to the biscuit tin without being seen.

" Andeep says, "I think you just need some self-belief and you should and you should to try your best to create some better ideas.

What if you tried being a soldier, army crawling really low so your mum doesn't spot you?

" It's a good idea, isn't it?

Laura says, "Great idea!

My mum doesn't mind me having one biscuit, but this is much more fun.

If I believe in myself and I stay in control, I could pile up some cushions and make a cozy den to enjoy my biscuit afterwards.

" It's a great idea, so maybe she's gonna try Andeep's suggestion of a crawl to sneak to that biscuit tin.

Her mom does allow her though, so make sure if you are gonna do something similar that you check first.

But then she's gonna make herself a little tower of cushions to hide behind so she can sit in peace and quiet.

Let's have a little chat for understanding, shall we?

True or false?

Good control is important when traveling across and through different spaces.

What do you think?

Well done those of you who said true.

Controlled movement allows you to maintain balance and travel exactly where you intend to go without wasting energy.

Control helps you reduce the risk of falling or bumping into others.

Well done if you have got that right.

Can you try some of the movements that Andeep and Laura have been using, do you think?

Could you slide under and jump over the laser beams like me?

Can you try?

And Laura says, "Can you do a really low crawl keeping your body close to the ground like me?

" Can you try?

Let's have another little check, shall we?

So to create the perfect movement, what do we need lots of?

Is it A, strength?

Is it B, time, or is it C, ideas?

Well done those who suggested ideas.

Lots of ideas can help us make our movement really interesting, much more fun for us to complete it and also much more fun for others to watch us.

Let's start getting moving again, shall we?

So our first task today is you're gonna use your dice and track from your warmup activity.

You're gonna use your imagination now though and come up with lots of ideas.

So we want three high movements and three low movements.

Okay?

So when you're thinking, be creative and think three really high things and three really low things.

Give each movement a number.

For example, if one of your low movements was a log roll, maybe that could be number one.

If another one of your low movements with a frog jump, maybe that could be number two.

Maybe number three could be a nice tall giraffe walk.

So you choose your three, move your six movements and give three numbers to the low ones and three numbers to the high ones.

Roll your dice and travel once around your track using that matching movement, then keep rolling, moving for five minutes.

Try and make sure that we get our bodies nice and warm.

We experiment with moving both high and low.

Again, there's gonna be a little video come up.

Maybe you could have a little watch and see how he did it to get some ideas from him, then come up with your own six movements, your free high and free low and get stuck in and have a go.

Really well done to those of you who had a great go at the activity.

We're gonna have a little reflection now on what we've done so far.

Do you think you moved using a range of high and low movements with control?

Laura says she stayed within her working space.

She controlled low and high jumps, stretched up tall or crouched down low, rolled and turned.

Wow!

She had lots of different ideas, didn't she?

I hope you did too.

Did you use your imagination to think of a range of high and low movement ideas?

Andeep said he had so many ideas that he had to narrow it down to six.

It was easy to think of low ideas, you know?

I think that's probably how I would've felt too.

High ones will look a bit more tricky, aren't they?

Did you demonstrate your self-belief by trying to create a range of different ideas?

Laura said she used high and low movements traveling in different directions that really test her coordination.

For these movements, she needed self-belief.

She thought she might not have been capable of them because they were too challenging.

Do you think you demonstrated your self-belief throughout these tasks?

Let's move on to our second learning cycle, shall we?

Imaginative over and under.

Laura and Andeep are discussing how their movement may change if they have obstacles to navigate.

Andeep says, "Laura, when you go to the park, what changes about your movement if you work around the different equipment or climb and get higher?

" That's an interesting question.

Laura says, "I need to make sure I maintain good control.

I also need greater self-belief as I try different things and get higher off the ground.

I take extra time and really concentrate to ensure I'm safe.

" It's a really good point from Laura, isn't it?

If we start to work at higher levels, we've got to be really careful.

"I really enjoyed climbing over my pile of cushions to get into and out of my den," says Laura.

"My imagination went wild.

I had so many different ideas of how I could do it.

" Andeep says, "I think I would do a high leapfrog over the pillows to get in and out.

" Okay, so can you make a pile of three to four cushions or pillows and experiment with how to get over them like and Andeep and Laura?

"Listening, watching and sharing ideas with others is a great way to improve our performance," says Andeep.

Next time he's gonna try these techniques.

He's learned some really good ideas sort of by listening and watching.

So a quick check for understanding.

True or false?

Self-belief is needed to enable you to try your best to create a range of ideas.

Well done those of you who suggested true.

Self-belief is really important because it helps you feel brave enough to try new things.

When you believe in yourself, you don't worry so much about getting things wrong.

You can try your best, think of lots of different ideas and really keep going.

Second check for understanding quickly.

What does listening to others and sharing ideas improve?

Is it A, our mindset, B, our listening, or C, our performance?

What do you think?

Really well done those of you who said C.

Proving our performance is so, so helped by sharing ideas with others 'cause it can help us cope with different ways to approach things and may enable us achieve more than we ever thought we could.

Let's move into our second task, shall we?

Lean a sofa cushion against the wall or a suitable surface to create a tunnel.

Explore as many different ways as you can to safely move under and then over it using a variety of high and low movements.

Be imaginative and use ideas from the example video to improve your movements.

In a second, a video's gonna come up of this task.

You'll see lots of different ways to move over and under.

See if you can have a look some ideas, and then have a go yourself.

Good luck.

How do we get on?

Did you move Using a range of high and low movements with good control?

Laura said she slid, spun, rolled, zigzagged and jumped as she explored moving under and over with control.

Did you do that as well?

Did you use your imagination to think of a range of high and low movement ideas?

Andeep said he thought it was really creative as you moved high and low using different speeds and different directions.

Did you try your best to create a range of different movement ideas which required self-belief?

I'm sure you did.

Laura said that she attempted some tricky turns and jumps, which required her self-belief to give them a go.

Did you listen to others' ideas to improve your performance?

Did you take some ideas from videos you saw maybe?

Andeep said he learned from the ideas in the lesson and tried some of the ideas he saw in the example to improve his movement over and under the cushion.

Well done, Andeep.

Let's start to slow it down, shall we?

We've worked really hard today.

Can you use your own ideas to move slowly around your room and start to cool down?

Start by moving really low, and change direction and then start to move really high.

Take some deep breaths as you go.

Whilst you're moving, can you think about how imaginative of your ideas were today and if you think you demonstrated self-belief?

Could you go out with a responsible known adult to the local park, maybe practice moving high and low in different equipment or in different levels?

That would be a really fun thing to do and would really help you develop your ability to move high and low.

Let's have a little summary of what we've done today, shall we?

We've used control to be able to move in a range of different low and highways while staying in a space.

We've used our imagination to enable us to create a range of ideas performing high and low movements.

We've tried our best hopefully to create a range of different ideas, which has required your self-belief.

And we've listened to others and shared ideas to improve our own performance.

I think you've done a really brilliant job today, guys.

Really well done for exploring those high and low movements in such a brilliant way.

I'm really looking forward to working with you again next time as we move on to our next lesson of locomotion.
