Movement: can you link more complex movements?
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can coordinate complex movements by breaking them down to practice and refine.
Key learning points
- Move: link movements together with control, balance and fluidity to coordinate complex movements.
- Think: to improve performance you need to plan, break down actions and sequence logically.
- Feel: successfully completing challenges will develop confidence and satisfaction.
- Connect: reflecting on your performance can help you support others to increase their effectiveness.
Keywords
Creativity - using imagination to produce original or effective ideas and solutions
Complex - made up of many connected parts or steps
Transition - the process of moving smoothly from one action or movement to another
Common misconception
You are either naturally good at movement skills and sports, or you aren't.
Movement skills are learned and trained, just like maths and music. You need to practice and refine your technique to improve confidence and remember that growth spurts will temporarily affect coordination and this is perfectly normal.
Equipment
A safe and open floor space, 4 pairs of socks (ideally all different colours).
