At the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
Show how to move their bodies in different ways, such as walking, running, hopping, stepping, and making a big jump (leaping).
Perform simple actions with their hands and feet, like throwing a ball, catching it, and kicking it.
Say and follow important rules to stay safe when moving around, especially when walking, running, pushing, and kicking.
Lesson summary
This topic introduces Primary 1 learners to the fundamental ways their bodies can move, emphasizing both locomotor and manipulative skills. Understanding body movement is crucial for a child's holistic development, fostering physical fitness, coordination, balance, and spatial awareness. These basic movements form the foundation for more complex physical activities and sports later in life, and are essential for daily tasks and safe interaction within their environment.
Teacher activity
Begin by reviewing body parts. Ask students to point to their legs, hands, feet, and arms.
Evaluation guide
Assessment will be continuous and predominantly practical for this age group, aligning with the provided evaluation guide.
Observation: Throughout the activities, the teacher will observe students' ability to perform the various movements and follow safety rules. This includes observing their coordination, balance, effort, and adherence to instructions.
Oral Questioning: During discussions, the teacher will ask questions like "What movement is this?", "Why is it important to be careful when we run?", to gauge immediate understanding.
Checklist: The teacher can use a simple checklist to mark which students successfully demonstrated each movement and recalled specific safety rules.
