Stage 3: PDHPE

Fitness Program

Term 3, 2015

Fundamental Movement and Physical Activity Foundation Statement

Students apply, adapt and vary movement skills in games and sports. They understand the elements of movement and
compose and perform movement sequences with control and coordination in various contexts. Students demonstrate
teamwork, tactics and strategies when participating in team games. They demonstrate proficiency in the fundamental
movement skills of leap, kick, two handed strike and dodge, and can apply them in a range of challenging physical activity
contexts. Students participate in a range of moderate to vigorous physical activities and apply movement skills with
increased confidence and precision. They investigate the effects of physical activity on health and monitor and evaluate
physical activity levels.

Lesson Organisation

Introduction to skill/Warm up

As a class, watch what the skill looks like on the IWB followed by an explicit demonstration and a guided lesson
about the skill. This should be 10 minutes.
Begin with a warm up game for 10 minutes.

Practice of the skill

There will be 1 or 2 stations set up each week.

Teachers can select to do one or both activities.
The teaching of each skill will last for two weeks so that all students will be provided with an opportunity to
practice each skill.
Each station is to be completed in 15 minutes
(IF More than ONE class)
Each teacher will stay at the same station and teach the same skill game for the two weeks. This will enable
consistency in teaching and assessing.
The activities are noted under each station.
If there are 2 stations, be sure to allow time for this, i.e. Each station should run approx 7/8 mins

Finishing Game

Students begin to warm down by completing the finishing game for 10 minutes.

Please Note Week 10 will be an Assessment session.

FITNESS PROGRAM - Teaching & Learning Sequence

Stage 3

Weeks: 2 & 3

Focus Skills: LEAP

Warm Up/Stretch:
Rhythmical Leap- Have students leap to a rhythmical accompaniment. Tap a tambourine for the run up;
shake it gently to indicate the leap.
Students then watch the video of how to do skills and how the skill should look (watch on the IWB).
Introducing the leap

Term 3, 2015
Resources:

Chalk
Skipping ropes
Hula hoops
Tambourine
Bean bags

Demonstrate the leap to the students focusing on the following components.

1. Eyes focused forward throughout the leap.
2. Knee of take-off leg bends.
3. Legs straighten during flight.
4. Arms held in opposition to the legs.

(Introductory components marked in bold)

Practice of Skill
Week 1: Station 1

Week 1: Station 2

Week 2: Station 1

Week 2: Station 2

Obstacle leaps- Combine high and

low leaps. Use soft objects or
objects which fall apart readily to
form slightly higher barriers. Set
the objects up creating an obstacle
course with leaps, hops and skips.

Leap for it- Use imagery to assist

students to practise the leap: for
example, ask them to leap over a
puddle of water, a river full of
crocodiles, a deep dark valley or
from cloud to cloud. Mark a river
with two extended ropes or hula
hoops.

Fly -Place a series of objects in a

row on the grass. Try to run over
each object placing one foot only
between each object. If
successful they take one more
step and move one of the objects
to where they landed. How far
can the line of objects be made?

Leap frog- a number of students crouch

down while other students jump over
them by placing two hands on the
crouching students back and bouncing
over them.

OPTIONAL EXTRA
Tap the Top -Hang an object from a string from a tree limb or other structure. Hoist it up and see how high you can go with a running leap (2-3 step run
up).
Evaluation:

Weeks: 4 & 5

Focus Skills: KICK

Warm Up/Stretch:
Balloon Kicks- Students in pairs keep the balloon in the air using only their feet
Students then watch the video of how to do skills and how the skill should look (watch on the IWB).
Introducing the kick
