Rationale for the Lesson

Understanding fundamental movements is crucial for developing coordination, motor skills, and overall physical fitness. This lesson lays the foundation for more complex physical activities in future lessons and everyday life.

Prerequisite/Previous Knowledge

Pupils have prior experience with basic body movements such as walking, running, and jumping.

Lesson Content

Fundamental Movement

Fundamental movement is very important for physical and health education. It helps us learn coordination and how to move our bodies.

What is Fundamental Movement?

Fundamental movement means the basic movements that are the start of all physical activities.These movements are critically important for our daily lives and help us develop our motor skills.These basic movements are the foundation for many activities.

Twisting,Turning,and Shaking

There are many types of fundamental movements, but we will learn about three: twisting, turning, and shaking.

Twisting

Twisting involves rotating your body or a body part around its axis.
Examples are:

1. A spinning top rotating on its axis.
2. A dancer twirling during a performance.
3. Wringing out a wet cloth to remove water.

Turning

Turning is moving in a circular motion or changing direction.
Examples are:

1. A car turning a corner on the road.
2. The hands of a clock moving around the clock face.
3. A person turning their head to look behind them.

Shaking

Shaking involves rapid, back-and-forth movements.
Examples are:

1. A dog shaking its fur to dry off.
2. A tree swaying in the wind.
3. Shaking hands as a greeting.

Lesson Keywords

• Twisting – Rotating the body or a body part around its axis.
• Turning – Moving in a circular motion or changing direction.
• Shaking – Making rapid, back-and-forth movements.
• Fundamental Movement – Basic movements that are the foundation of all physical activities.

Lesson Evaluation

To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:

1. What is twisting?
2. Show me how to turn.
3. What does shaking mean?
4. Give an example of twisting in your daily life.
5. Give an example of turning in your daily life.

Assignment/Homework

1. Practice twisting, turning, and shaking movements at home.
2. Observe and list three examples of each movement in your environment.
3. Write a short paragraph explaining why fundamental movements are important.

Differentiation

• For slower learners: Provide one-on-one assistance and use simpler instructions.
• For advanced learners: encourage them to create their own movement sequences using twisting, turning, and shaking.
• For visual/auditory/kinesthetic learners: Use pictures,videos,and hands-on activities to cater to different learning styles.

Note for Teachers

Ensure to provide clear demonstrations and hands-on practice to help pupils understand and perform the fundamental movements correctly. Encourage active participation and provide positive reinforcement to build confidence.
