A. Formative Assessment (Ongoing Observation & Questioning):
Observation during activities: The teacher will observe learners' participation, effort, and attempts at performing the movements.
Checklist:* Is the learner attempting to kick with the correct foot part? Are they using their forehead for heading? Are they bending/stretching gently? Are they engaging in imitation? Are they maintaining personal space?
Oral questioning: During discussions, the teacher will ask direct questions to gauge understanding of safety rules and concept recall.
Lesson summary
This topic, "Moving our body parts," introduces Primary 2 learners to fundamental movement patterns and basic body actions. Understanding how their bodies move is crucial for healthy physical development, coordination, and overall well-being. It lays the groundwork for participation in sports, physical activities, and safe execution of daily tasks. In the Nigerian context, these skills are essential for children participating in traditional games like *tinko* or *suwe*, helping with household chores like sweeping or fetching water, and navigating their environment safely, whether in rural communities or busy urban areas.
Teacher activity
Review simple body parts (head, shoulders, knees, toes). Ask learners to touch various body parts.
Ask questions like, "What do we use our legs for?" "What about our hands?" "Can you move your head?"
Introduce the topic: "Today, we will learn how to move our body parts in different ways, like kicking a ball, bending, and stretching, and how to stay safe while doing it."
Evaluation guide
Assessment will be continuous throughout the lesson and specifically target the performance objectives and evaluation guide.
