Note to Pupils:

Sliding

Sliding is when you move smoothly and quietly across a surface, like when you slide on a slippery floor in your socks. It’s like gliding or moving without lifting your feet.

Hopping

Hopping is a quick, small jump where you jump off the ground using one foot and then quickly land on the same foot. It’s like a little bounce.

Jumping

Jumping is when you push off the ground with both feet and go up into the air. You use both feet to jump and then land with both feet.

Leaping

Leaping is like a big jump where you push off the ground with one foot and land on the other foot. It’s a bit like jumping, but you land on just one foot.

Evaluation:

Can you demonstrate sliding?
What is hopping, and how do you do it?
Why is it important to practice these movements?
