In our last PE session, Year One combined PE and Living and Learning. The children had to use some of the 8Rs of learning they have been taught this half term to help them complete the throwing challenge they were faced with.
The children were split into teams of six and had to throw their bean bag into the hoop in the middle of the circle. However, if one bean bag missed the hoop or was touching the hoop, the children had to start again.
Here’s how they used some of the 8Rs:
I can show I am ready to learn – The children were expected to watch demos of me throwing the bean bag as well as others to help them learn.
I remember – The children had to remember what they had been taught about throwing in previous sessions.
I reflect on my learning – If the children missed, they needed to ask themselves, ‘Why did I miss?’ ‘Do I need to throw the bean bag harder or softer?’
I respond to feedback – I was walking round the hall giving the children tips on how to throw the bean bag. The children needed to use this feedback to help them succeed.
I take responsibility for my own learning – If the children were struggling to throw the bean bag into the hoop, they needed to take responsibly and ask for help or watch their friend.
I am resilient – The challenge was frustrating for the children as all six bean bags needed to go into the hoop. The children had to be resilient as a group and not give up.
