Why this why now
The unit will use pupils’ prior knowledge of how to run and jump, developing pupils' motor competence linked to dodging and jumping. In this unit pupils will be challenged to use and apply dodging skills in games and jump in combination rather than just in isolation. Pupils will also be able to use their prior learning from ball skills and team games to be able to successfully apply their initial jumping and dodging skills in this unit. Foundations are then laid for subsequent units on ball skills as pupils will already have a strong understanding of the movement skills required.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils will know how to move into space.
- Pupils understand why we have to move into a space.
- Pupils know how to jump, hop and skip.
- Pupils know how to run fast.
- Pupils can apply movement skills in simple games.
- Pupils are able to play by simple rules.
