Year 1 PE Learning Challenges

Year 1: Athletics Aims of the Unit

Use different techniques, speeds and effort to meet challenges set for running, jumping and throwing

Skills and Tactics

Suggested Activities

•Ask the children to jog in a marked area, around markers, hoops or cones, avoiding contact with each other. Help them to move more freely within the space, anticipating where it is safe to move quickly.

•Ask the children to play follow my leader and change the way they move when they pass a coloured marker, e.g. hop, then .jog, then walk backwards, then skip.

•Teach the children to run and turn quickly, and to follow different pathways or tracks.

•Teach them different ways of throwing, eg left-handed, right-handed, twohanded, underarm, overarm. Help them to throw further and with greater accuracy.

•Teach the children to challenge themselves in throwing activities, eg by increasing the distance thrown, or by throwing equipment into more difficult targets. Help them to choose the best way of throwing to succeed in the challenge, e.g. underarm, overarm, low, high.

•Teach the children to jump and land with control, using different jumps. Help them to understand the difference between jumping high and jumping long.

•Teach them how to choose a speed for running or travelling that suits the task, eg more slowly over longer times and distances, more quickly over shorter times and distances. Help them to explain how they have to perform to meet the challenge they have been set, e.g. I need to go fast, I have to be careful.

Demonstrate the five basic jumps on their own, eg a series of hops, and in combination, eg hop, one-two, twotwo, showing control at take-off and landing Run continuously for different distances and, when required, show the difference between running at speed and jogging Throw with increasing accuracy and coordination into targets set at different distances Demonstrate a range of throwing actions using a variety of games equipment such as balls, beanbags and quoits.
