This topic names the kinds of movement, shows how movements are put together into patterns and formations, and explains how the body learns to use what it sees, hears and feels to move well. It also shows how a PE session is organised so that the body is safe and ready. AFTER THESE NOTES YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO Name and perform locomotor, non-locomotor, balancing and manipulative movements Perform movement patterns and combine them into a sequence Take part in a movement formation such as a line, circle or column Explain what perceptual motor learning is and give activities that develop it Organise a PE session into warm-up, main activity and cool-down and say what each part is for KEY WORDS Locomotor movement a movement that takes the body from one place to another, such as walking or hopping Non-locomotor movement a movement done in one spot without travelling, such as bending or twisting Manipulative movement a movement in which you handle or control an object, such as throwing or catching Balance the ability to hold the body steady, either still or while moving Movement pattern a set way of moving the body in a repeated order, such as the steps of a skip Formation the arrangement of a group of people on the floor or field, such as a circle or a line Movement exploration trying out different ways of doing a movement to find what your body can do Perception the brain making sense of what the senses report, such as sight, hearing and touch 1 Kinds of movement All sport and dance is built from four kinds of movement. Learn to tell them apart. • • • • • Form 1 Physical Education and Sport Lesson notes 25schools.com Page 2 of 7 Locomotor movements move you from one place to another. Examples are walking, running, jumping, hopping, skipping, leaping and galloping. A child running across the school field to reach the netball court is using a locomotor movement. Non-locomotor movements are done on the spot. The feet stay in place while another part of the body moves. Examples are bending, stretching, twisting, swinging, turning on the spot and pushing. Stretching your arms above your head in the morning is a non-locomotor movement. Balancing activities are about holding the body steady. You can balance while still, such as standing on one leg, or while moving, such as walking along a narrow line. A small base, such as one foot, makes balance harder than a wide base, such as two feet apart. Manipulative movements involve an object. You throw, catch, kick, bounce, strike, roll or carry it. Dribbling a football, catching a netball and hitting a ball with a bat are all manipulative. Figure 1. The four kinds of movement activities, with examples of each WORKED EXAMPLE A learner dribbles a football while running down the field. Which kinds of movement does she use? Running takes her from one place to another, so it is locomotor. Dribbling means controlling a ball with the feet, so it is manipulative. Answer: locomotor and manipulative movement together.

A skip, for example, is a step and a hop on one foot, then a step and a hop on the other. Once you can do the pattern, you can repeat it smoothly without thinking …
