Year 3

Athletics

In Athletics, we will perform various throws using pull, push, and sling actions for distance. We will also explore different running and 5 jumping techniques. We will recognise strengths and areas for improvement in our own performance.

Orienteering

In Orienteering, we will follow our Whole School Cross-Curricular Orienteering Scheme of Work. We will be cooperating and working together as a team to complete challenges. We will generate ideas, try out different solutions, follow concise instructions and use individual strengths. We will support and encourage our team members.

Gymnastics 

In Gymnastics, we will develop ways of travelling, balancing on small body parts and create a sequence of travel and balance actions. We will also develop ways of rolling, jumping, shape and landing. We will create a sequence of gymnastic actions and perform these using apparatus. We will evaluate and recognise our successes. 

Net & Wall: Tennis & Badminton

We will demonstrate a forehand and backhand shot with consistency. We will direct a shuttlecock and tennis ball to partners to perform rallies. We will also demonstrate simple tactics and incorporate points in a game situation.

Dance

In Dance, we will select travelling actions and movements to convey different characters, along varied pathways.  We will also create a sequence conveying a challenge using travel, turn and gesture.  Finally, we will combine all elements, in order to tell a story.

Invasion Games - Tag Rugby

We will send and receive a rugby ball and move into spaces to receive passes. We will use simple tactics in a game and revise them in an Invasion Game.

Striking and Fielding: Cricket

We will demonstrate bowling underarm with accuracy and consistency. We will also learn how to strike a Cricket ball off a tee or drop feed using a Cricket bat. We will demonstrate how to catch and throw a Cricket ball when fielding. We will aim to use all the skills and tactics demonstrated and apply them into a modified Cricket game.
