the
heat
even
more,
and
that
it

out
of
the
pan.
6. Congratulate

child.
Vary
the
distance
according
to
the
child’s
throwing
ability.
2. Throw
the
volleyball
into
the
centre
of
the
hoop,
let
it
bounce
and
ask
the
child
to
catch
it.
3. When
10
throws/catches
(i.e.
5
catches
each)
have
been
completed,
the
person
who
is
not
holding
the
ball
holds
the
hoop
up
to
the
side,
and
the
other
person
gets
a
chance
to
throw
the
ball
through
the
hoop.
A
point
is
scored
if
the
ball
goes
through
the
hoop,
the
ball
is
swapped
to
the
other
person
and
the
bounce/catch
continues
until
another
chance
to
shoot
is
earned.
4. The
first
person
to
reach
5
points
wins
the
game.

2. Tell
the
child
you
are
going
to
call
out
a
letter,
and
they
need
to
find
the
letter
and
bounce
the
ball
on
each
tile
till
they
get
to
it.
3. Ask
them
to
sound
the
letters
out
to
see
what
they
say.
e.g.“I
can..
(hop),
(jump),
(skip)!”,
“I
am
a
star!”,
“I
am
fit!”
other
simple
words
like
‘fun’,
their
name
etc.
4. Variation:
The
child
could
practise
hopping
from
one
letter
to
the
next.
Encourage
them
to
skip
letters
so
that
their
hopping
distance
is
gradually
increased.

Ask
the
child
to
guess

and
count
the
bounces
out

If
it
is
better
than

tell
them,
saying
that
they
improved
because
they
did
such
good
practise.
Tell
them
they
can
keep
practicing
whenever
they
want
and
they
will
keep
getting
better
at
it.
Ask
the
child
which
part
of
the
lesson
they
liked
the
best,
and
thank
them
for
participating.
4. Reflection
on
Action
The
warm-‐up
was
very
effective
in
focusing
Cate
and
she
enjoyed
the
variety
of
movements.
The
main
focus
of
the
follow
up
lesson
was
the
Volleyball
Bounce
and
Catch
skill.
The
initial
activity
of
a
high
ball
throw
and
catch
(after
the
bounce)
proved
to
be
too
difficult,
and
I
substituted
a
ball
rolling
activity
to
assist
Cate
in
visually
tracking
the
ball,
and
improve
her
hand-‐eye
co-‐ordination.
This
was
effective
and
enabled
her
to
move
on
to
the
popcorn
bounces
with
a
reasonable
degree
of
success.
During
the
popcorn
bounces
I
constantly
reminded
her
of
the
key
criteria
and
provided
specific
feedback,
and
also
encouraged
her
to
monitor
her
own
actions
by
asking
questions.
This
was
also
effective
in
making
her
realise
how
important
the
key
criteria
were.
She
enjoyed
the
practise,
and
wanted
to
continue
trying
to
see
how
many
bounces
she
could
do.
She
had
several
attempts,
achieving
scores
of
9,
11,
12,
15
and
11.
These
were
all
improvements
on
the
score
of
8
in
the
previous
lesson,
and
there
was
a
marked
improvement
in
her
technique.
If
I
had
the
chance
to
do
the
lesson
again
I
would
begin
with
a
less
difficult,
closed
skill,
and
gradually
increase
the
level
of
difficulty.
