Description

This unit will challenge pupils to consolidate their knowledge, understanding and ability to sprint effectively, individually and within a team. Pupils will show self motivation to improve their technique for throwing a shot put and explore and develop an understanding of how to hurdle safely.

Pupils already understand the difference between running for speed and distance. They can jump for distance and throw for distance using a Javelin. This unit introduces pupils to the hurdles, which is a more complex event, challenging running for speed in a unique way. Pupils will be able to draw on their prior learning of throwing far as they transfer their learning into throwing a shot put, which requires alterations to the previous techniques they have mastered. Throughout the unit, pupils will have the chance to apply their developing movement competence through competitions.
