      I can apply the correct technique for a range of actions in a movement circuit.

      Lesson details

      Learning outcome

      I can apply the correct technique for a range of actions as I complete a movement circuit.

      Key learning points

      1. Move: completing a range of activities and performing them correctly requires control and balance.
      2. Think: knowing how to complete the circuit of activities safely and with the correct technique requires reflection.
      3. Feel: challenging ourselves to achieve our best demonstrates self-motivation.
      4. Connect: working together to achieve success requires peer support

      Keywords

      • Circuit - a series of different exercises performed one after the other, usually with little rest in between

      • Exceed - to go beyond a limit or do better than expected

      • Reflect - to think carefully about your actions, performance or experiences in order to learn and improve

      Common misconception

      You need equipment and specific gym space to complete circuits.

      You can complete circuits anywhere using alternative activities and equipment.

      Equipment

      2 weights/water bottles or sealed tin cans, camera/phone or electronic device to video performance (not compulsory), pen and paper to record results.
