Scoring
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can use my skills of sending a ball accurately in order to shoot and score points.
Key learning points
- Move: looking at the target and stepping forwards as we send the ball enables us to increase our accuracy when shooting.
- Think: selecting an appropriate place to shoot from requires reflection, increasing our chances of hitting the target.
- Feel: demonstrating self motivation requires us to persevere and keep trying even if we miss the target.
- Connect: helping our teammates to improve requires respect and will increase our success when shooting at a target.
