WS03 - Striking

Health and Physical Education, Years 3 and 4

By the end of Year 4, students identify influences that strengthen identities and describe strategies to manage emotions, changes and transitions. They apply skills and strategies to interact respectfully with others. They describe the influences that inclusion and stereotypes have on choices and actions. Students describe and apply protective behaviours and help-seeking strategies to keep themselves and others safe online and offline. They interpret health information to apply strategies to enhance their own and others’ health, safety, relationships and wellbeing. Students apply fundamental movement skills and demonstrate movement concepts across a range of situations. They adapt movement strategies to enhance movement outcomes. Students examine factors that influence participation and propose strategies to incorporate regular physical activity into their own and others’ lives. They demonstrate fair play and inclusion through a range of roles in movement contexts.

[Teacher] If you are the teacher, what do you need to tell someone to help them with their batting? And what do you have? What do they have to be thinking about to be a good batter?

 

[Student] Um, so when you bat, you need to remember to have your writing hand on the top and your other hand on the bottom right next to each other. And then when you hit, you want to try and hit in the middle of the bat where it's a bit thicker. And when you hit, you want to step forward with your opposite foot and try and hit like that.

 

[Teacher] So when you come up to bat, what are you going to need? What are you going to be thinking about?

 

[Student] Um you want to be thinking about where you're going to hit the ball and where there are no fielders.

 

[Teacher] How are you going to know where there are no fielders?

 

[Student] Where there’s a space, where there are no fielders.

 

[Teacher] And after you bat, what do you need to remember to do?

 

[Student] You need to remember to drop the bat. You don't throw it and you don't keep the bat, you just drop it and run to first base.

 

[Teacher] All right. You ready to show us some batting?

 

[Student] Yep.

 

[Teacher] Okay. When you're ready.

 

[Student] And also, you want to make sure your arms are straight when you hit.

 

[Student] Fielders are spread out.

 

[Teacher] Why they spread out?

 

[Student] So that they can, catch the ball. They can get in all the spots where the ball might go.

 

[Teacher] Why, why do they need to get in all lots of different spots?

 

[Student] Because the ball could, they could hit, the batter could hit the ball any way.

 

[Teacher] Yeah.

 

[Student] There's an underarm throws are softer and a run throws are more powerful.

 

[Teacher] Yeah.

 

[Student] Because when, when your opposite shoulder that you're hitting with goes, let’s say it goes this way, that's the way that the ball is going to go.

 

[Teacher] Okay.

 

[Student] We line up in our teams now and we walk beside the other team and high five.
