Netball
During the netball sequence of lessons, we will be encouraging pupils to persevere when developing competencies in key skills and principles such as; defending; attacking; throwing; catching and shooting. They will learn to use a range of different passes in different situations to keep possession and attack towards goal. We will learn about defending and attacking play as they begin to play even-sided versions of 5-a-side Netball. In addition to this we will learn key rules of the game such as footwork; held ball; contact and obstruction.
Gymnastics
During our gymnastics lessons, we will focus on improving the quality of their gymnastic movements. We will be introduced to the term’s ‘extension’ and ‘body tension.’ Also, we will develop the basic skills of rolling, jumping, and balancing and use them individually and in combination. Eventually we will develop their sequence work, collaborating with others to use matching and contrasting actions and shapes and develop linking sequences smoothly with actions that flow. Pupils develop their confidence to perform, considering the quality and control of their actions.
Tennis
In this unit pupils develop the key skills required for tennis such as the ready position; racket control and hitting a ball. They learn how to score points and how to use skills; simple strategies and tactics to outwit the opposition. Pupils are given opportunities to play games independently and are taught the importance of being honest whilst playing to the rules.
Hockey
Throughout the unit of work on Hockey, pupils will learn to contribute to the game by helping to keep possession of the ball; use simple attacking tactics using sending, receiving, and dribbling a ball. We will start by playing uneven and then move onto even sided games. Then we will begin to think about defending and winning the ball. Pupils will be encouraged to think about how to use skills, strategies, and tactics to outwit the opposition. In addition to this, pupils will understand the importance of playing fairly and keeping to the rules. They will be encouraged to be a supportive teammate and identify why this behaviour is important.
