Hi, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 4 Basic Science and Technology. In our previous lesson, we learned about [link to previous lesson]. Today, we’re going to learn about Moving Our Body Parts.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- Define and practice locomotor movements like running and skipping.
Moving Our Body Parts
Moving our body parts is a fun and important part of staying healthy. It helps us to be active, strong, and coordinated. There are many different ways to move our bodies, and today we’re going to focus on two of them: running and skipping.
What are Locomotor Movements?
Locomotor movements are movements that help us move from one place to another. They involve using our legs and feet to walk, run, jump, hop, skip, and more.
Running
Running is a way of moving our body parts where we use our legs to move quickly on our feet. When we run, one foot leaves the ground while the other pushes off, and we move forward at a faster pace than walking.
Skipping
Skipping is a fun way of moving where we jump from one foot to the other while swinging a rope over our head and under our feet. It’s like a dance with jumps, and it’s a great way to exercise and have fun at the same time.
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 locomotor movements we practiced today?
- Why is it important to stay physically active?
- Can you describe the difference between running and skipping?
- What are some other ways we can move our bodies?
Conclusion
Today, we learned about locomotor movements, specifically running and skipping. Remember, moving our bodies is important for our health and well-being. Keep practicing these movements and try out other ways to move your body! Don’t forget to check the comments section if you have any questions. See you in the next lesson!
