Lesson details
Key learning points
- Move: looking at the target and stepping forwards as we send the ball enables us to increase our accuracy when shooting.
- Think: selecting an appropriate place to shoot from requires reflection, increasing our chances of hitting the target.
- Feel: demonstrating self motivation requires us to persevere and keep trying even if we miss the target.
- Connect: helping our teammates to improve requires respect and will increase our success when shooting at a target.

Target - something you focus on and aim for to try to reach or hit
Shoot - to try to score points by sending the ball towards the target

Common misconception
Pupils think they are only successful if they hit a target.
Celebrate pupils for using the correct technique and for trying hard and provide demonstrations to support learning.
Use a range of balls and targets in this lesson so pupils can apply learning in different contexts and using different equipment. Drip feed in the points in the explanation as and when pupils are ready for new information.
