Description

The unit of work will introduce pupils to the principles of attack and defence, with a particular focus on passing, moving and scoring. Pupils will show integrity as they learn to keep possession and eventually score in order to win a modified game. The unit will focus on games using hands and feet.

In KS1, pupils will have explored basic dribbling, passing and receiving skills as well as underarm and overarm throwing. Pupils already have a developing understanding of where and why we pass and dribble and why we need to be accurate when we throw. This will be the first time pupils are exposed to an invasion games unit of work, where pupils will develop an understanding of the basic principles of attack and defence. The unit will take a broad look at ball games, enabling the skills and strategic learning to be fully transferable across multiple sporting contexts.
