Lesson details
Key learning points
- Move: running fast requires acceleration while using the correct technique; which can be done as part of a team.

- Connect: congratulating and supporting our teammates will develop effective teamwork.
- Feel: self belief enables us to keep trying even when we aren't winning.

Race - a competition to see who is able to run a certain distance in the shortest time

Common misconception
Pupils focus on wanting to go first in their team as opposed to their running technique. Pupils think success is all about winning.
Give each pupil a number and rotate who goes first to avoid the distraction. Challenge pupils to improve their own team's time instead of racing others to reinforce the point.
