Introduction

  1. Begin by stating the intended learning outcomes for the class. Ensure this outcome is linked to the fundamental movement skill being addressed.
  2. Introduce a maximum of two teaching points for the FMS per lesson.
  3. Revise prior learning in relation to the skill, where necessary, in a quick and concise manner.

Warm Up:

  • Link this activity to the FMS being addressed where possible.

Main Content:

  • Deliver the curricula content of the lesson in accordance with your PE plan incorporating two teaching points of FMS where appropriate. The FMS being addressed should not be the sole focus of the PE class.

Development:

Consider using a teaching approach such as Whole-Part-Whole (other approaches are presented in the Physical Education Teacher Guidelines)

  • After introducing the teaching points set up a game or relevant activity (whole)
  • Pause the activity and teach one or two of the key components of the FMS in isolation (part). Allow time for pupil reflection.
  • Then restart the game or activity to practice the skill in an authentic setting. (whole)

Note: Opportunities may arise for the teacher to support individual pupils through effective feedback and questioning.

Conclusion:

  • Summarise learning.
  • Consider incorporating effective questioning or pupil self reflection.
  • This may also be a useful time to give homework or set a target for the next PE class.
