This unit takes Year 6 students on a comprehensive athletics journey that bridges individual technical development with collaborative teamwork and strategic thinking. Beginning with fundamental sprinting technique, students progress through relay teamwork before culminating in intelligent distance running strategies. The unit expertly balances physical skill development with cognitive challenge, preparing students for secondary school athletics whilst building confidence through achievable personal goals.
This comprehensive athletics unit takes Year 6 students through the full spectrum of track and field disciplines whilst developing technical mastery, personal excellence, and collaborative leadership. The unit uniquely combines individual performance development with team-based officiating skills, preparing students for secondary school athletics and fostering an understanding of sport beyond participation. Through progressive technical challenges, students transition from perfecting their own performance to supporting others' success through fair and accurate judging.
This unit transforms Year 6 students into well-rounded athletes by introducing them to the technical demands of Olympic athletics events. Students experience the sophisticated interplay between technique, power, and efficiency across running, throwing, and jumping disciplines. The emphasis on biomechanics and strategic thinking reflects the maturity of Year 6 learners, preparing them for secondary athletics whilst celebrating the precision and artistry of elite athletic performance.
This comprehensive athletics unit introduces Year 6 students to specialist throwing and jumping disciplines that demand technical precision and whole-body power generation. The focus shifts from recreational athletics to understanding biomechanical principles that underpin elite performance, whilst maintaining safety and building confidence in advanced techniques. Through systematic exploration of field events, students develop sophisticated movement patterns and learn to analyse their own performance.
This unit develops Year 6 students as sophisticated athletes through technical mastery of sprint starts, triple jump, heave throws, and scissor jumps. The focus shifts from basic participation to performance optimisation, combining biomechanical understanding with strategic thinking. Students learn to analyse their own technique, support teammates' development, and compete with both personal excellence and sportsmanship at the forefront.
This unit develops Year 6 students as competitive athletes and emerging sports leaders, progressing from refining individual running, throwing and jumping techniques to organising and leading authentic athletic competitions. The focus shifts from personal performance excellence in isolated disciplines to collaborative team events and ultimately to the leadership skills needed for managing inclusive sports competitions. This unit prepares students for secondary school athletics whilst developing crucial life skills in fair competition, self-improvement and sports organisation.
