Description

This unit will challenge pupils’ integrity and resilience when developing their sprinting technique, analysing their own performance. Pupils will compare sprinting to running for distance and pacing. The unit will introduce throwing for distance with javelins and explore the basics of triple jump.

Pupils have developed a good understanding of running fast, jumping far and throwing far. In this unit, pupils will analyse their technique for sprinting and make decisions as to how to improve. For the first time, pupils will compare the difference between running for speed and running for distance, introducing the concept of pacing. Pupils will draw on their prior knowledge of jumping in combination and apply this understanding while learning about the triple jump. Later, pupils will have the opportunity to use their developing throwing skills and try throwing for distance using a javelin.
