Lancashire Year 2 Athletic Activities Core Task Key Stage 1 Colour Match Core Task The Colour match core task involves children throwing different pieces of equipment as accurately as possible in order to hit targets. The children work in groups of three and take it in turns to be the thrower, scorer and collector. Each group has three different-coloured targets (eg hoops, skipping ropes or markers) set at different distances and selects 10 pieces of equipment (eg quoits, balls of different sizes, beanbags) in colours to match the targets. The thrower tries to throw each object to the target of the same colour (eg red beanbag to red hoop). The scorer counts how many times the thrower succeeds in hitting the target. The collector gathers up the equipment ready for the next person to have a go. Each child has two turns at being the thrower. N.C 2014 National Curriculum Pupils should develop fundamental movement skills, become increasingly competent and confident and access a broad range of opportunities to extend their agility, balance and coordination, individually and with others. Pupils should be taught to: master basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, as well as developing balance, agility and coordination, and begin to apply these in a range of activities participate in team games, developing simple tactics for attacking and defending perform dances using simple movement patterns.

Encourage children to bend their legs when picking up the bean bag rather than their back. Use STEP if needed. Model for the children how to throw underarm and ask the children what do they think they will have to do differently when throwing for distance to throwing for accuracy?

Date Term Class Progression 6 Learning Objective To explore different ways of throwing equipment Warm Up Teachers Choice Tasks Teaching Points Success Criteria The Colour match core task involves children throwing different pieces of equipment as accurately as Running possible in order to hit targets. The children work in groups of three and take it in turns to be the thrower, scorer and collector. Each group has three different-coloured targets (eg hoops, skipping ropes or markers) set at different distances and selects 10 pieces of equipment (eg quoits, balls of different sizes, beanbags) in colours to match the targets. The thrower tries to throw each object to the target of the same colour (eg red beanbag to red hoop). The scorer counts how many times the thrower succeeds in hitting the target. The Head facing forward Elbows bent Run on balls of feet High knee lift collector gathers up the equipment ready for the next person to have a go.
