Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Move: jumping high and leaping requires bending the knees, swinging the arms up and reaching tall.

Common misconception
Pupils confuse the techniques for leaping and jumping. Pupils focus on not being tagged and forget to jump or leap properly.
Demonstrate both techniques. Explain the importance of using the correct technique and demonstrate. Bring in a rule that if pupils run instead of using their jumping skills, they have 'tagged' themselves and must stop and perform 5 star jumps.
