Hi, Mr. Wnuk here.
And in today's lesson, we're going to be trying to hit some targets.
Let's do this! If you're unsure about doing any of the activities in this lesson, make sure you have a trusted adult nearby when you start them.
This lesson should take place indoors, such as in your living room.
You should ensure there's space for you to work safely, including overhead.
Use bare feet, not socks.
Make sure the floor is not slippery.
Wear comfortable clothing, put hair up if needed, and remove any jewellery.
Pause this video now if there's anything you need to do to get ready.
For today's lesson, you're going to need something to make some notes with.
You're going to also need these three items. You're going to need a ball of socks, a piece of paper, you'll probably need a couple of pieces of paper, and a roll of toilet roll, full roll of toilet roll.
And you may wish to put a rubber band around around it just so it doesn't open up and go everywhere.
The space you're going to need is around about two metres around you.
If you need to pause a video to get hold of this, please do something now.
So we're going to get into our starter activity, and you're going to need those items of equipment that I asked you to gather.
And you might wish to gather some extra pairs of socks for this next task.
So the rules of today's lesson is to repeat the skill with three different items, a pair of socks, piece of paper, and a toilet roll.
So everything we do today, I want you to try and repeat three times with each of those items. We're going to get into the first starter activity now.
And I suggest a couple of pairs of socks for this one.
About three pairs of socks will be great.
Okay, so for our warm-up activity, I'm going to teach you how to juggle.
And this is great for improving our hand-eye coordination.
It's great for a challenge and overcoming a personal challenge, developing your resilience, because you're going to keep trying to work on it, and your self-motivation.
So you need a ball of socks for the starting point on this one.
You can use anything you want though.
But I'm going to have three balls of socks, or I want you to get three balls of socks.
So if you need to pause the video now and go and get three balls of socks.
Okay, great.
Hopefully you've got them.
I'm going to use the ball the socks and a couple of tennis balls I've got lying around.
If you've got tennis balls, that's just as good.
So first thing we need to do is picture when we're juggling a box.
Okay, imagine there's a box around me.
So if you imagine, where my head is now, imagine if I had a box around me, or a rectangular box.
And we're going to aim to throw the bundle of socks to the corner of that box, and it drops into this hand.
And then from this hand, I'm going to pass it to this corner and drop it down.
So it's starting off with one ball in your hand.
Okay.
And just reach up to that corner of the box and drop it into your hand.
Reach up into that corner of the box, drop into your hands.
So it's about coordination.
It's up, drop, up, drop.
Now, as you bring it up, try and circle your arms. So circle your hand around, up, drop.
Hand round, drop.
Hand round, drop.
Hand round, drop.
Okay.
So pause the video, and just practise that motion with one sock ball.
Great stuff.
I hope you managed to do that successfully.
This next one, instead of liftin' up and holdin' it, we're going to throw it.
So I'm going to throw it to that corner and catch it.
Throw it to the corner, catch it.
Throw it to the corner, catch.
Throw it to the corner, catch.
So just keep going.
And you can go faster or slower if you want.
Catch.
Corner catch.
The key thing is it hits that corner and drops down, hits that corner and drops down.
Pause the video, keep going with that.
So you've come back to me 'cause you've managed to master that.
Now we're going to get two objects.
And I'm going to use two different balls here, two different coloured balls so you can see it.
So I'm going to start with both in the same hand.
So the key thing is you have two in the same hand, and you're going to have to throw the first one.
So the first thing you're going to do, got them two my hands, see, like this, and I'm going to throw the first ball out of my hand and catch it.
So remember it goes to the corner of the box.
Corner of the box.
Okay.
So we're going to go corner of the box.
Okay.
That's the first thing.
Corner box.
So just practise, pause the video, practise that.
Awesome stuff.
And hopefully you've managed to do that successfully.
Now I'm going to split the balls into two hands, and I'm going to go from corner to the box.
But before I catch it with this hand, I need to throw the socks to the other corner.
So you're going to throw this one to this corner, and it's going to come down to this hand.
And this hand's going to throw these socks to the other corner before I catch it.
So it's two movements.
So I'm going to go ready, watch.
You now need to watch the balls, okay? So one, two.
And they both went to the corner.
Ready? One, two.
And it's that timing, keep it slow.
So when I throw, one, two.
Okay? One, two.
Pause the video and see if you can go one, two, one, two, in that timing.
Excellent stuff.
So you've now progressed from two balls.
So we're going to move to three balls.
So I've got now three balls.
So I've got my socks, my tennis balls.
And it's the same process.
And we're just going to keep going.
So we're going to go one, that ball comes up and drops into this hand.
But before we throw it, we go two, and that drops into this hand.
And then before we catch it, we throw three.
And then we just keep rotating.
So I'm going to have two balls in one hand and the socks.
So I'm going to go one, two, three, one, two, three, one two, three.
Now, you keep going, but remember, you're aiming for the corners of the boxes.
Now, you might drop it like I did.
If you take your eyes off the ball, you will drop them.
But the key thing is to try and focus on the equipment that you've got in front of you.
So remember one, drop, two, drop, three, drop, and always keep working.
A little tip.
If you do it facing a wall, then there's nothing that's going to stop, that you get distracted.
And if the balls drop down, there's going to hit the ball and drop down to your feet.
So I always tend to practise in the wall or just in front of my sofa so they just dropped down onto my sofa.
Pause the video, have a play, and good luck.
So what's this lesson going to look like? Well, you've done some juggling as our starter.
Hopefully you were successful with that.
And hopefully you took some time and improved your resilience at that task.
We're going to get on with some aiming challenges now.
Then we're going to move on to some distance challenges, and then finally finish up with an exit quiz.
So our first key word of today's lesson is accuracy.
Now, accuracy is how close you are to hitting a target or even to the truth.
If you're trying to find out something and you're close to finding that out, you are closer to being accurate.
Precision is how consistent you are, and how close together each of the measurements are.
So if you're hitting a target and you're grouping your shots all together, and that is consistent.
So we're going to get on with activity one, which is aiming challenges.
So you're going to pause the video to complete this task.
Hitting targets.
So you're going to place three targets at varying distances away from you, one close, within two metres, one far away, and as far as your space allows you to, and one in the middle between both of them.
You need to hit each target with each item consecutively, starting with the closest.
Once you hit all three on a target, you can move to the next target, and so on and so forth.
So that's the goal.
So I would like you to try and record the number of attempts you take.
And round one, you're going to keep going.
So what I mean by that is you're going to throw and keep throwing until you hit every one in that target.
And then when you've had every one in that target, you move to the next one.
And then you keep trying to get that target, until you move to the next one.
Round two, if you miss one, you go back zero on that target.
So if you get three in a row on target one, and then you go to target two and you get two but miss the third one, you need to then go back on that same target you missed it until you get three in a row.
And record how many times it takes 'til you get to the target three and all three in one.
And then round three is if you miss any, you go back to the very first target, the closest one to you.
And you start again until you can get all three consecutively in a row, which would be nine shots consecutively hitting the target.
That's going to be challenging.
So pause video and have a go, and resume the video once you've managed to do that.
And remember to record your number of shots you take.
Fantastic work.
Hopefully it didn't take you too long to do it.
And hopefully you stuck with it.
So which strategy did you use to successfully complete this challenge? And what I mean by that is did you do anything with the items you had? 'Cause it didn't say you can't change out of this, it didn't say it has to be a ball.
So with a bit of paper, did you potentially fold it into another shape? Something that flies easier, for example? Did you ever feel like giving up, or did you stick with it? Or did you feel like giving up and you stuck with it? Or did you just get frustrated? Did you manage to do it without any problems? True or false.
"Accuracy is how consistent you are." Is that true or is that false? Well, the answer is false.
Accuracy is how close you are to the target.
Persistence is how close those shots are together.
Okay.
So take a look at this key word, which is resilience.
And this is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties.
So I've talked about resilience a fair bit now.
It's how, if you missing it and feel frustrated, and you carry on, well, that's resilience.
And then resourcefulness is the ability to find quick and clever ways to overcome difficulties.
So did you overcome your difficulties by thinking of different ways of getting those items onto your target? Such as maybe doing something with that bit of paper.
Activity two, we're going to look at distance now.
Right, your challenge is called Distance.
So you're going to find a long space, such as your hallway or your garden, as an example.
And I always start at one end.
Standing from the farthest end, you're going to throw each of your items as far as possible.
You're going to walk to collect these, counting your pieces where they landed.
Complete this 10 times.
And the total number of paces is what you're going to add up.
And your goal is to get as farthest as possible with your combined distances over those 10 attempts.
Revisit lesson three, Planning a Route, if you need to calculate how to work out your distance from your paces.
And pause the video have a go.
And then join me once you've finished.
So let's have some reflection on that task.
What strategy did you use to maximise the distance that you just covered? So how did you make it go further? How did you maximise it? Which did you throw first, for example? Did you use any directional strategies? Do you think you could have covered a larger distance? And if so, how could you have come to a larger distance? And how do you think that these tasks have helped to develop your resilience and resourcefulness? So think back to those two definitions.
Okay.
Let's have a look at this question.
"Which of these characteristics shows resilience?" "Mental and emotional toughness." "Givin' up easily on a task." "Thinking of different ideas to overcome a problem." And then, "Planning ahead and getting organised." Well, I'm hoping that you are right with your answer, which is going to be, option one, "Mental and emotional toughness." Yes, resilience is a mental, emotional skill, a life skill that toughens you up.
So today's lesson was focused on hitting targets.
And we were trying to develop our life skills of resilience and resourcefulness and PE and OAA are fantastic conduits to try and develop those skills.
We looked at accuracy and precision.
So we're trying to hit particular targets in particular orders, which requires accuracy, and then hitting them numerous times, which is precision.
And then you started challenging yourself with distance and seeing if you could cover said distance further.
So well done for your activities today.
I hope you enjoyed yourself.
And I will see you very soon in the next lesson.
