Lesson details
Key learning points
- Move: bouncing, rolling, throwing, dribbling and kicking a ball with effective coordination requires control.
- Move: our hearts will beat faster and our muscles work harder when completing coordination exercises within the circuit.
- Think: showing good hand and foot coordination across a range of activities requires focus and curiosity.
- Feel: working together and striving to help each other to improve throughout the circuit shows great empathy.
- Connect: striving to improve our coordination throughout will lead to increased success and shows self-belief.
Keywords
Coordination - The ability to efficiently use different parts of the body together
Circuit - a series of physical activities or exercises
Together - working in cooperation with others to undertake a task
Common misconception
Pupils may think that coordination relates only to movement of their own body.
Coordination requires many different elements to work in combination. Improving balance, timing, ball tracking and the way we grip equipment can all contribute to improved coordination.
