Hi, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 1 Basic Science and Technology. In our previous lesson, we learned about Moving our body: Leaping and walking. Today, we’re going to learn about Moving our body parts.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- Demonstrate throwing and catching of objects
- Identify safety rules in throwing and catching
- Identify techniques in throwing and catching
Moving Our Body Parts – Throwing and Catching
What is Throwing and Catching?
Throwing and catching are essential skills that involve using our body parts to propel and receive objects.
Throwing
Throwing refers to the basic skill of propelling objects through the air using the hand or arm. There are different techniques for throwing, such as overhand and underhand.
Catching
Catching refers to the skill of receiving or grabbing objects that are thrown or tossed towards an individual. It’s important to use proper catching techniques, such as using both hands and keeping your eyes on the object.
Safety Rules in Throwing and Catching
Some of the safety rules for throwing and catching include:
- Always choose objects that are safe for throwing and catching, such as soft balls or foam toys.
- Make sure the throwing and catching area is clear of obstacles.
- Ensure that there is proper adult supervision during throwing and catching activities.
- During throwing and catching activities, always maintain a safe distance between participants.
Evaluation Questions
Now that you’ve learned about moving our body parts, let’s see if you can answer these questions:
- What are the two techniques for throwing demonstrated in class?
- Why is it important to keep your eyes on the object when catching?
- Name one safety rule for throwing and catching.
- What are some other ways we can move our body parts? 5. Can you think of any other safety rules that should be followed when playing games that involve throwing and catching?
Conclusion
Today, we learned about moving our body parts, specifically throwing and catching. Remember to always practice safety rules and use proper techniques when engaging in these activities. Don’t forget to check the comments section if you have any questions, and use the navigation to move to the next lesson. See you in the next lesson!
