Welcome to my blog on my work experience!
Week Four: (Started: 8:20 | Finished: 16:20 | Overall work placement total hours completed: 29 hr 40 mins/60 hr)
Week four on my work placement was very easy. Due to the two timetable rotation, I had two lessons due to the amount of free periods during the day. The first lesson was the year 7s who were on handball (throwing and catching) with year 10s on handball as well (jump shots).
The first lesson was for year 7s where their lesson was planned around throwing and catching. It was a fairly simple lesson where they began by getting into pairs where they threw and caught the ball around the sports hall. This was then progressed by splitting the pupils into four teams with the addition of the sports hall splitting in two to allow two games to occur. The aim of the game was to throw and catch down the width of the sports hall to catch the ball in the touch down zone. This was then progressed by implementing additional points for the different types of catches they performed. The lesson ended with a game in a rotation of the four split teams.
For the year 10s, the lesson was planned in a drill setting where there was two goals either end of the sports hall with two lines facing them. One at a time, the pupils had to dribble the ball towards the ‘D’ and perform a jump shot all within the handball rules and regulations. This was developed by putting a pupil in net to act as the keeper, with further progressions by adding in a defender. This lesson was finalised with a game where three teams were on a rotation to play against each other. Handball rules were applied and pupils were awarded extra points if they successfully perform a jump shot.
Finally, when the school finished there was an after school club. This club focused on badminton which was open to all years. Unfortunately, there was’t any teaching due to the pupils only playing games with each other.
