Why this why now
This will be the first unit using balls that pupils experience. The unit will introduce pupils to the movement skills and understanding required to send and receive accurately so that these skills can then be applied later on in simple activities. The introduction to dribbling will expand upon pupil’s prior learning of moving into a space as they begin to move into space with a ball. Pupils will develop an understanding of how to apply these skills in simple games later in the unit, providing them with a basis to continue to develop teamwork and leadership skills in the future.

- Pupils know how to move into a space.
- Pupils understand why we have to move into a space.
- Pupils can move in a variety of ways.
- Pupils can apply movement skills in simple games.
