Furness Primary School

This Term children will focus on Athletics. They will have the opportunity to develop their existing running, jumping and throwing skills. They will be running for speed and endurance as well as learning the technique for the standing vertical jump. They will also learn the technique for throwing the discus (the fling throw) and practise other types of throwing techniques, including the one-handed pull throw (javelin) and the one-handed push throw (shot-put). The children will have the opportunity to take part in individual, paired and group activities and games.
