  2. Apply safe and correct high jump techniques.
  3. Participate competitively in sprinting and high jump.
  4. Evaluate their performance using peer and self-assessment.

 

Previous Knowledge:

Learners have been introduced to sprinting and high jump rules, skills, and techniques.

 

Instructional Materials:

  • Stopwatch
  • Whistle
  • Measuring tape
  • Track cones and chalk
  • Crossbar, uprights, foam mats
  • Score sheets for assessment

 

Anticipation (Warm-Up) – 5 minutes:

Ask:

  • Which event did you enjoy more: sprinting or high jump?
  • What is your personal goal for today’s revision?

Activity:

  • Full-body warm-up: high knees, jumping jacks, arm swings, dynamic stretches

 

Building Knowledge (Main Lesson) – 25 minutes

Sprinting Drills Revision:

  • 3 rounds of 20m dash with focus on arm swing and knee lift
  • Sprint start practice with whistle cues
  • Relay-style group activity for endurance and fun

High Jump Drills Revision:

  • Walk-through of the approach path
  • Two rounds of low-bar high jump using the scissors technique
  • Peer review with each student watching and providing feedback

Mini-Competition Setup:

  • 100m sprint heats (girls and boys)
  • 2 high jump trials per student with increasing height (adjusted to age-appropriate levels)

 

Learners’ Activities:

  • Participate in sprint trials and provide peer feedback
  • Practice high jump safely with foam landing
  • Record own and peer scores (jump height, sprint time)
  • Discuss personal strengths and areas for improvement

 

Consolidation (Review and Assessment) – 10 minutes

Review Questions:

  1. What key skill helps in a good sprint start?
  2. How do you avoid injury in high jump?
  3. What improvement did you notice in your own technique?

Mini Quiz:

    Folded arms
    C. Bent at 90° and moving forward-back
    D. Waving

    D. Slow and straight

 

Homework / Assignment:

  1. Reflect in writing: What did you enjoy most about track and field this term?
  2. Draw a diagram of a sprinting lane and label its parts.
  3. Write a personal improvement plan for next term’s athletics.

Notes – Detailed and Explained:

This week serves to reinforce sprinting and high jump techniques through hands-on activities and friendly competition. Learners gain confidence, apply feedback, and build team spirit. Evaluating their performance helps develop critical thinking and sportsmanship.

 

Expanded Notes / Instructions:

  • Create inclusive tasks by allowing modifications (e.g., shorter distance or lower bar for some learners).
  • Use timers and visuals to make results transparent and motivational.

 

Inclusive / Differentiation:

  • Allow alternate participation for learners unable to jump or sprint (e.g., timekeeping, score tracking)
  • Encourage team cheering and moral support for all

 

Teacher’s Reflection:

  • Did learners apply techniques taught in previous weeks?
  • Were all students actively engaged?
  • What should be improved in future track & field lessons?
