Description

The unit will increase pupils’ motor competence when running, providing an understanding of where we run and why. Pupils will show self belief, exploring jumping in different directions, at different speeds, heights and distances. Pupils will learn how and why we jump with the correct technique.

This is the first unit that pupils experience in year 1. The unit introduces pupils to locomotion skills that can be developed and applied in a wide range of upcoming units. Building on their foundational movement skills from early years, pupils will develop motor competence when learning how to run and jump. This progresses into the application of these skills in games and through the athletic lens of running fast and jumping far. This learning equips pupils with the knowledge to understand where we move and why, before combining this understanding with a ball or in gymnastics and dance.
