Warm Up: Start by asking the children to walk around the room using different parts of their feel, for example walking around on your soles, balls of your feet, toes and sides. Then ask them to repeat the activity but this time to jog around on different parts of your feet. Ask the children what was the easiest part to do and what was the hardest part to do. It is important to keep communicating and interacting with the children.
Floor Work: Ask the children to move around the room using varies parts of their bodies but keeping close to the floor. You should then ask the children to move around when they are far away from the floor. Let the children have a few minutes to find out different ways of moving about and after ask a few children to demonstrate the ways they found. This is a good way to get the children thinking of ways to progress by themselves. You should then go around the class and as individual children to describe what they are doing and also to describe what others are doing. You should explain the importance of landing safely to help prevent injury. You should demonstrate how to land and absorb shock from the landings. Demonstrate how using your arms can make you jump higher and ask children what way's can make you jump higher. Ask children to make shapes in the air when they jump and give them time to explore new ideas. Ask the children to practice running and jumping into space and make a shape in the air.
Apparatus Work: Each child must get a hope and find their own space on the floor and sit in it. Each child should practice jumping into the hoop in different ways. They should practice jumping from a distance and using different parts of their body's. You should choose one child to demonstrate what way they can jump into the hoop. You should get the child to describe what they are doing and get the class to copy this child's way of jumping into the hoop. You should ask the children which way was the easiest to jump into the hoop and also which way was the hardest.
Cool Down: Ask the children to hold the hoop above their heads then bring it down and jump through it and then lift it back over their heads. Then get the children to use the different types of jumps they learned today in class. Ask the children to curl up as small as they can inside the hoop. After this is done ask the children to hold the hoop out in front of them then stretch it up over their head as far as they can go. Ask the children what they enjoyed most about the lesson and to demonstrate a few things they learned at enjoyed.
