1) Net Games

Demonstration and verbal response: Net games

Summary of task

Over eight lessons, pupils were engaged in a net games unit of work. The focus was on manipulating and controlling a ball/object using another piece of equipment. Modified tennis equipment (low/short nets, short-handled rackets), lowered badminton nets and four table tennis tables were operating at the same time to ensure all pupils were participating and able to be successful umpiring or playing.

Pupils were asked to demonstrate their learning and answer a range of questions about what they learnt throughout the term. They could choose to focus on one particular sport in their answers, or to show how they could transfer their learning to different sports.

This assessment task relates to the focus area: games and sports.
