<v ->Hi there.

</v> Welcome to your remote learning lesson of target games.

Today's lesson is called accuracy.

Can you think tactically using accuracy skills to beat an opponent?

My name's Miss Hacking and I'm really looking forward to being your teacher today.

For today's lesson, you're going to need some equipment.

You're going to need an object to throw, which could be a ball or a rolled up pair of socks.

You're going to need nine markers, which could be soft toys, shoes or books.

You might need some chalk or rope or cushions to mark out a three by three grid.

So you're going to need three sections going along and three sections going down.

So there's going to be nine grid spaces and you could use any of those things to mark out the nine grid spaces.

You might also need a paper and a pencil or a pen, so you might want to pause the video now to go and get your equipment.

So you're ready for today's lesson.

By the end of today's lesson, I'm hoping that we can make effective decisions while using the correct technique for an underarm throwing in order to beat an opponent.

Our keywords, let's do my turn, your turn.

my turn, tactics, your turn.

So tactics are plans you create and use to win or succeed.

My turn, problem solving, your turn.

So problem solving means overcoming a difficulty, challenge or obstacle.

And finally, the third keyword, my turn, resilience.

Your turn.

So resilience is the ability to keep going even when it's difficult.

And this can sometimes be hard to show, particularly if we're losing in a game or not playing very well.

We might want to give up, but actually we've got to show good resilience to keep going so that we might still be able to play and win the game.

Before we start today's lesson, it's important that we do a warmup.

So for today's warmup, you're going to show what you know about throwing accurately.

You're going to place a range of targets in spaces around the room.

You could use cuddly toys, books or cushions.

You're going to move around the room with a ball or rolled up socks in your hand.

Now you can keep it just in your hand or if you want to, you can throw the ball up and down as you move around the room.

You're going to stop every 10 seconds and from wherever you are standing, you're going to try and hit one of the targets by throwing the ball accurately towards a target.

Challenge yourself to hit all the targets at least once and try to hit some of the targets that are a bit further away.

Could you change how you throw your object?

So there is a video coming next to show you how to perform this warmup if you're a little unsure.

Once you've watched the video, you might want to pause so that it gives you time to complete your warmup.

So today's lesson is split into two parts.

In the first part of today's lesson, you're going to accurately throw to get three in a line.

And in the second part of today's lesson, you're going to tactically aim to beat an opponent.

Are you ready?

Let's get started.

So today, Jun is working by himself.

And Andeep is working with his friend Sam.

They're working on throwing accurately using either a soft ball or rolled up socks.

They're working on that accuracy of throwing over a short distance.

Sam says, applying the correct technique for underarm throws requires focus in order to be successful.

And that's really important.

So we are going to have to switch our brains on and make sure we're focusing so that we are accurately able to throw over a short distance.

To be able to throw the ball, we use an underarm throw, so just like on the images being shown, an underarm throw would not go above our shoulders.

You stand with the opposite foot forward.

Again, as we can see on the images, if the person is holding the ball in their right hand, they step forward with their left foot.

So make sure you step forward with your opposite foot as this helps to keep balance and therefore means your throw will be more accurate.

Keep your eyes on the target so you know where you're aiming for and follow through with your hand after releasing the ball.

You always move from low to high with an underarm throw.

And Jacob's reminded us that underarm throws are used for shorter, more accurate throws, especially inside the house.

Okay, let's have a quick check to see how well you are listening.

Why is it good to use an underarm throw for a short distance?

What do you think?

I'm hoping that you've said an underarm throw is more accurate so you are more likely to hit the target, and that's right.

So over a short distance to be more accurate and hit the target, we would use an underarm throw.

Well done if you said something along those lines.

So Andeep and Sam have set up a grid for each other to aim for, the idea of the game is to accurately throw their rolled up socks into three grid spaces that are next to each other.

Every time their socks land in a grid space, they mark it with a toy or book.

So they're trying to get a line of three.

They hit the boxes right next to each other.

Andeep and Sam take turns to throw their socks accurately into the grid squares.

Here, Andeep has managed to get three in a line.

He used accurate underarm throws to aim his rolled up socks into the specific boxes.

So we can see that Andeep has managed three in a line because he's gone from one corner to the middle to the other corner.

Whereas Sam has managed to hit three boxes, but they're not three boxes in a line.

So in this game, Andeep would be the winner because he got his in a line first.

Before Jun starts his game, he draws nine grids on small pieces of paper.

On each grid, he fills in one grid space, so he's done nine grids and on each grid, he's done a different grid space colored in.

He then folds each piece of paper over so he can't see the grids.

Jun has made a grid to throw his socks into.

He now chooses a piece of folded up paper to see where on the grid he has to throw his socks.

His aim is to get three in a row before the paper player makes three in a row.

Jun marks a grid on a piece of paper where the paper player has landed.

So here, the paper player has won as they got three in a row before Jun did.

So he has randomly picked three bits of paper and as you can see, the paper player was actually the winner because their three pieces of paper, their three dots were in a line.

Jun did manage to get three accurate throws into the squares, but they weren't three in a line.

Unlike the paper player.

When we play games, we need to demonstrate certain skills.

What skills do you think Jun, Andeep and Sam had to demonstrate in this game?

So Jun said that deciding which target to aim for in order to win the game requires problem solving.

So yes, you definitely have to show problem solving skills in this game.

Andeep said that resilience enables us to keep trying even if we aren't winning.

Yes, sometimes we're aiming for a square and it might not go in the right square or we might miss a square completely, but it's important that we show resilience to keep trying because we still might win the game but we don't give up.

So yes, Jun and Andeep are right.

This game definitely requires problem solving skills and resilience skills.

Okay, a quick check, which is an important skill to demonstrate in this throwing game?

Would it be A, laziness?

Would it be B, resilience or would it be C, bossiness?

What do you think?

Well done if you said B, resilience.

We need resilience in this game so that we don't give up and we keep trying even if we are finding it quite difficult.

So well done if you said B, resilience.

Okay, now it's your turn to have a go at the task.

So three in a line if you're playing with a partner.

So if you've got someone else to play with, then this is a game that you're going to play first.

Each person needs to set up a three by three grid with nine squares.

This could be with chalk if you're outside.

skipping ropes, if you want to mark out the squares with skipping ropes, ties or cushions, take it in turns to use an underarm throw to accurately hit one of your opponent's squares.

If you hit a grid square, mark it with a toy or a book.

The aim is to hit three grid squares in a line.

When someone hits three grid squares in a line, they win and the game can restart.

There is an optional challenge that if you hit the same grid square twice, you have to remove that marker from the square.

So that's an option if you want to make it a little bit harder.

Three in a line solo.

So if like Jun, you're playing by yourself today, what you need to do first is draw out nine grids on a small bit of paper, filling in a different grid square on each one.

Set up a three by three grid with nine squares.

This could be with chalk, skipping ropes, ties or cushions.

So this is what you are going to aim your throw into.

Use an underarm throw to accurately hit a grid square.

If you hit a grid square, mark it with a toy or book and after you take a turn, select a piece of paper to see where your opposition, your paper player opposition has hit.

The aim is to hit three grid squares in a line.

Whoever gets three in a line first is the winner and the game restarts.

If you're a bit unsure how to play this game, there is a video next to show you how to play.

You might want to watch the video and then pause so that it gives you time to play this game.

I'm sure you're going to be really accurate at hitting the squares with your underarm throws.

Okay, I hope you had fun at playing three in a line and I hope you managed to get three in a line before your opponent.

Let's have a reflect on that task.

Move, applying the correct technique for underarm throws requires focus and leads to success.

Jun said that I applied the correct technique of an underarm throw with focus to accurately hit the grid square I was aiming at.

And did you, did you use the correct technique?

Were you able to accurately hit the grid square?

I'm sure you were if you did use the accurate technique.

Think, deciding which target to aim for in order to win the game requires problem solving.

Andeep says I aimed at the targets next to each other so I could beat my opponent quicker.

Yes, because the aim was to get three in a line.

So you did need to tactically aim at the squares that were next to each other.

Did you manage to do that?

Feel, resilience enables us to keep trying even if we aren't winning.

And Jun said that I persevered and kept going even when I missed a grid square I was aiming at and I hope you showed resilience too, even if you didn't quite accurately throw to the grid square you wanted, maybe the next time you did because you showed resilience.

Connect, only counting the score when you hit a target demonstrates respect and fairness.

And Andeep said that I only put a mark on the grid when I hit the correct square.

Because Andeep played to the rules and I'm sure you did too.

You showed fairness and respect by playing to the rules.

So well done if you completed that task.

Okay, now it's time for our second part of today's lesson.

We're going to tactically aim to beat an opponent.

So sometimes in games there are ways to outwit an opponent by using tactics.

A tactic is a plan you create and use to try and win or succeed.

Andeep said that I like playing games, but sometimes I get frustrated when I'm not winning.

And Sam said yes, it can be hard when you're not winning, but it's important that we show resilience.

Resilience enables us to keep trying even if we aren't winning.

Now we've mentioned that earlier that it can be hard when we're not playing our best or maybe we're not winning or maybe someone else is playing better than us.

But we always need to show resilience in everything that we do so that we keep trying, we keep improving and hopefully, we keep getting better so that maybe we can beat our opponent.

Okay, let's have a quick go at a check, what do we call a plan that you create and use to try and win or succeed?

Would it be A, cheating?

Would it be B, tactic or would it be C, opposition?

What do you think?

Well done if you said B, a tactic.

A tactic is a plan that you create and use to try and win or succeed.

So Andeep and Sam set up one grid this time.

So not two grids, one grid in this space between them, they will try to be the first person to get three in a row by throwing their rolled up socks accurately into the empty grid squares.

They take it in turns to throw the ball.

The game is just like noughts and crosses.

So if you've ever played noughts and crosses with a pen, this is kind of like that game.

But instead of with a pen, we're doing it by throwing.

In this example, Sam hits three grid squares in a row first and wins.

So Andeep has hit three grid squares but they're not in a line.

Whereas Sam's are all in a line.

So Sam is the winner of this game.

They play again.

But out of all that, if they hit a grid square with a marker already in it, the first marker is removed.

So now they have to use tactics to choose to remove the opposition's marker or go for three in a line quickly.

So this time it involves a little bit more tactical thinking.

Jun reuses the grid papers he used in task A at the start of the lesson.

On each grid, he fills in one different grid space.

So again, he's playing by himself, so he's going to use a paper player opponent to play against.

Jun has set up a grid to aim his throws into.

After he has taken a throwing turn, he randomly selects a piece of paper.

His aim is to get three in a row before the paper player makes three in a row just like noughts and crosses.

So Jun marks off where the paper player has gone.

If Jun's socks land in the square that the paper player was marked in, then the paper player does not get the square.

So because Jun has knocked out the first paper player's move, then he is able to put his marker where the the paper player's marker was.

Andeep says it's important to always play fairly, even if you're playing a game by yourself.

And he's asked Jun, can you think of how you can play fairly?

Do you know?

So Jun said by following the rules correctly and keeping the score honestly, even if you're playing by yourself and I'm sure you thought about something like that, it's always important to play to the rules in games so that we're being fair and showing respect.

Okay, now it's time for your second task of the lesson.

You're going to play noughts and crosses.

So if you've got someone at home or wherever you are to play with, you're going to play noughts and crosses with a partner.

So you're going to set up one three by three grid with nine squares.

So this could be with chalk if you're outside, skipping ropes, ties or cushions, you take it in turns to use an underarm throw to accurately hit one of the squares.

If you hit a grid square, you mark it with a toy or a book.

The aim is to hit three grid squares in a line.

When someone hits three grid squares in a line, they win and the game restarts.

But you do have an optional challenge.

If you hit a grid square that your opposition has marked, you can remove their marker from the square.

So again, you're going to have to think tactically whether you're going to try and remove your partner's marker from the square or whether you're going to try and get three in a row quicker.

You can also, if you are like Jun, playing by yourself, play noughts and crosses solo.

So what you're going to need to do is from task A, use the nine grids on small bits of paper, making sure that they filled in a different grid square on each one.

Make a one three by three grid with nine squares.

This could be with chalk, skipping ropes, ties or cushions.

Use an underarm throw to accurately hit a grid square.

If you hit the grid square, mark it with a toy or book.

After you take a turn, select a new piece of paper to see where your opposition or the paper player has hit.

Whoever gets three in a line first is a winner and the game restarts.

But again, you have the optional challenge that if you hit a grid square your opposition has marked, you can remove their marker from the square to make it a bit more tactical as to whether you're going for three in a line or whether you're trying to stop them getting three in a line.

There is a video showing next to help you play this game should you be a little unsure.

So you might want to watch the video, then pause, play your game and come back to us here.

Okay, well done.

I hope you enjoyed playing noughts and crosses.

So let's reflect on that second task of the lesson.

Move, applying the correct technique for underarm throw requires focus and leads to success.

And Jun said, I gained success by accurately using an underarm throw to hit the squares.

Did you?

Did you use the accurate underarm throw to make sure that your throws were really accurate and you hit the grid squares you wanted to hit preferably three in a line?

Think, deciding which target to aim for in order to win the game requires problem solving.

Andeep says that I aimed at removing my opposition's targets from the grid so I could play where I wanted to.

Did you?

Did you try and remove your opposition's targets so that you could play where you wanted to?

Or did you try and just go for three in a line the quickest?

Feel, resilience enables to keep trying even if we aren't winning.

And Jun said that I persevered and kept going even when I missed a grid square I was aiming at.

This game does require resilience, particularly if your partner is removing your markers because they're being really accurate.

So showing resilience and keep trying even if you are not winning, is really important.

And connect.

Only counting a score when you hit a target demonstrates respect and fairness.

And Andeep said that I only put a marker on the grid square when I hit the correct square and I hope you did too.

I hope you were fair and played by the rules.

I'm sure you were.

Okay, so we're nearly at the end of today's lesson, so we just need to do a cool down before we finish.

So what I'd like you to do is create a target in your space.

You're going to collect your ball or socks and hold them as you walk slowly around all the space.

Every five seconds, stop still and perform an underarm throw.

See how close you can get it to your target.

While you're doing this, reflect.

Whilst you're moving slowly within the space, think about how you were successful when using an accurate throw, which actions were more controlled?

And commitment.

What can you do between now and the next lesson to practice your skills further?

You might want to pause the video now so that you can complete your cool down.

And that leaves us just enough time to summarize today's lesson.

So move, applying the correct technique for underarm throws requires focus and leads to success.

So I'm hoping that you used the correct technique for our underarm throws every time you were aiming for the grid square.

Think, deciding which target to aim for in order to win the game requires problem solving.

You probably used a lot of problem solving skills today in order to hit the right square.

Feel, resilience enables us to keep trying even if we aren't winning.

Resilience is really important so that we don't give up and that we keep improving our skills even if we're finding things hard.

And connect.

Only counting the score when you hit a target demonstrates respect and fairness.

Now I'm sure you're really fair by playing by the rules of today's game of noughts and crosses.

I really enjoyed being your teacher today and I hope you've had lots of fun playing the accuracy target game today.

I look forward to seeing you again soon.
