The 6th Lesson in Physical Education focused on Skill Development Progression.
This progression allows for activities to build from: Individual > Pair > Group
For progression teacher can allow the students to experiment with different sizes of objects for example balls for activities.
Individual progression from simple to complex can be explored in the following ways:
Types of shapes: thin, tall, wide, short, round, crouched
Organisation: using personal space or general space.
Teaching points come from movement experience -- knowing content
e.g. To make the alphabet using body shapes.
The students must be aware of :
Using letter as a guide
Using letters that are rounds
Using letters that are thin and tall.
Students make shapes and they tell teacher the name of the shape or letter.
Practical Lesson:
This was an interesting series of activities to add social value to the lessons.
The students were asked to individually walk around at a fast pace in the general space, but come back to home and make a shape once back home. Home was code for the starting point a safe place. The students were told someone was following them, then teacher would shout 'Home', students would have to get back to Home as quickly as they could. Adhering to rules of returning home if they felt stranger danger.
The level of complexity was increased by increasing the group to 3 persons and jogging instead of walking. the same rule applied of returning 'home', but this time making a shape with the base being on the knees, the seat other than the feet.
Another interesting play was on BALANCE.
The teacher encouraged the students to pretend thy were animals using 4 points of contact with the floor therefore displaying increased balance than when only on 2 points of contact. More surface area = greater balance.
Mixing the activities to make shapes on one balance to show stability.
Other activities included:
Counter-balance requires both participants to support each other, encouraging the social aspect to emerge. Hold hands but pulling away in opposite directions from each other.

For progression teacher can allow the students to experiment with different sizes of objects for example balls for activities.
Individual progression from simple to complex can be explored in the following ways:
- Exploring shaped movement experience
- Sequencing different types of shapes
- Exploring different shapes on different bases
- Exploring different shapes on different bases on equipment
