Hi all
Thank you for your valuable tips and reflections. You have certainly given me great ideas for next week. Next week I will be stationing myself at the jumping block and scoring their star jumps individually. The LI will be to “Strive to Land the Perfect Jump” and the SC will be:
1. Start with your feet together
2. Jump high with a wide star jump
3. Land with your feet together
4. Hold for a solid three count
The scoring (feedback) will be instant and for each 5 minute rotation, students should get around 5 or 6 jumps in each.
This week I have put up one statement per station. For example, on the rolling mat it says “Tight BOdies” and on the “Vault” it says clear the vault. The statements are really one success criteria for each station. The issue was the students were not looking for it as part of their 5 minutes. This is probably due to it not being part of their usual PE routine but I am confident they will get more accostumed to it. Particularly helped by the fact that the language of “Success Criteria” is used across the school

Hi Dean,
I’ve been lucky enough to walk past your gymnastic lesson in action. The kids really seem to enjoy it. Their enjoyment not only comes from the excitement of the activity but the clarity you provide in your learning intentions and success criterias.
Good job

Hi Dean,
I agree with Delphine, the students loved participating in gymnastics. I think the success criteria you’ve given them are perfect as it gives them step by step instructions and the chance to succeed in each element.
Keep up the good work!
