B6 Physical Education · Term 1 Week 2: Locomotor, Manipulative and Rhythmic Skills

Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: B6.1.2.1.3 - Perform the differences in applying and receiving force when jumping for height and distance (high jump).

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Demonstrate a vertical jumping approach for height, using both arms to control balance during the run-up and take-off.
Perform a one-foot take-off and a two-foot take-off for height, explaining how force is applied differently in each.
Land safely from a high jump with feet shoulder width apart, knees flexed, and landing on the balls of the feet (double landing).
Compare applying force for height versus applying force for distance, using correct terms such as “force”, “take-off”, “flight”, and “landing”.
Describe how leaning the trunk slightly backwards during flight helps control the body when jumping for height.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Learners after adequate warm-up, they go through a vertical jumping approach. Learners use both arms efficiently to control balance as needed during approach run and take-off. Learners control the flight phase by leaning their trunk slightly backwards, one-foot take-off, two feet take-off, feet land shoulder width apart and flexion of knees with the height of the jump and landing on the balls of feet (double landing).
