This unit introduces Reception students to the fundamental concept of accuracy through three distinct movement patterns: throwing, kicking, and rolling. The emphasis is on developing hand-eye and foot-eye coordination while building confidence with different types of projection skills. Through progressive target challenges, students explore how body positioning, force application, and bilateral coordination contribute to successful aim.
