Lesson 2- Jumping, catching and bouncing

Brief reflection from week 1:

24/05/16

Today we were grouped with three students named Kyan, Asmara and Leyla. Although, two students
were away. Our objections of todays lesson was to get to know the students and identify what
sports the students liked and what their strengths and weaknesses are.

The first activity focused on their kicking ability. Students were required to a kick a stationary ball to
their partner who were 5-10 metres away. It is evident that Kyan, Asmara and Leyla are still
developing their fundamental skills, as they individually encountered challenges throughout each
activity. Firstly, during the kicking component not all students were able to perform a kick correctly
based on the Performance Criteria. All three students kicked the ball with their toes rather than the
top of the foot. However, there was slight improvement from each student as time progressed. For
example, Asmara was able to step forward with her non-kicking foot placed near the ball whilst her
kicking leg follows through towards the target after ball contact. Based on the first observation, it is
clear that Asmara has more experience with sports compared to Kyan and Leyla.

Our final skill component was ball bounce. Each student demonstrated a good technique whilst
bouncing the ball. They ensured their eyes were focused throughout the bounce, hips and knees
slightly arched during the bounce and ensuring the ball bounces in front of and to the side of their
body. However, they all experienced difficulties whilst running with the ball. Students often lost
control of the ball and often did not possess the correct performance technique.

As two students were away for the first week, our objectives for next week is continue to assess
their fundamental motor skill. We are primarily focusing on catching; throwing and jumping to give
us a greater indication at the level they are at.

Introduction: Activity requires hoops to be scattered in a random pattern close

Leader Leaps: together. Students make a leaping sequence for the next student in
5 MINS the group to copy.

Variations:
Students are to leap
into a color hoop
that the teacher calls
out.
It can be used a
relay.

Space Walk Students create their own journey leaping into hoops. Each landing
must be with only 1 foot.
10 minutes
Variations
The teacher may
10-15 cones
want to indicate

to students what
directions to
leap. For
example, left or
right, backwards or forwards.


Implementing catching, bouncing Students are to form a circle. One person is to stand in the middle
and throwing activity. of the circle. The student in the middle needs to overarm throw the
ball to each student. Each student will be given the opportunity to
5-10 Minutes go in the middle. Alternatively, the teacher may decide to get the
students to bounce the ball to each student instead of throwing.

Key teaching points:
Eyes are focused on the ball throughout the catch.
Preparatory position with elbows bent and hands in
front of body.
Hands move to meet the ball.
Hands and fingers positioned correctly to catch the
ball.
Catch and control the ball with hands only.
Elbows bend to absorb force of the ball
Bouncing: Zigzag bouncing: As the name suggests, this activity involves cones
to be placed in a zigzag formation. Students are required to bounce
10 Minutes the ball to the each cone.

Hoop Bounce: Students are to partner up. Students are to stand 5
meters apart with a hoop in between them. Students are to
continuously pass the ball to each other ensuring the ball bounces
in the hoop first.
