Pupil Task Cards: Introduction

An important part of every child’s cognitive development is to encourage them to explorenew things and use self-guided learning to problem-solve and overcome challenges.

The Pupil Task Cards provide teachers with a useful tool to encourage self-guidedlearning; peer observation; movement understanding; feedback and communication skillsand is a creative way to expand the lesson.

The Pupil Task Cards cover every athletics event and outline the key technical observationpoints for these events. This section also contains Pupil Task Cards for the key movementprinciples of running jumping and throwing (i.e. Agility, Jumping for height, Pull throw, etc.).

Each card provides pupils with a series of challenges and/or questions designed to helpthem develop a greater understanding of each athletics events.

These cards can be used to complement the ‘Pupil Task’ section within each Activity Card.

Introduction to the Pupil Task Cards

Pupil Task Cards can be downloadedor photocopied so as to providesufficient copies for the whole class.

The Pupil Task Cards can be used with any age group, but teachers may wish to adapt howthey use the cards based on the age and the ability of the group.

Teacher Guided: For some pupils, teachers may wish to read out and explain each of thequestions from the Pupil Task Cards and then allow the pupils to practice.

Self-Guided: The teacher hands out a copy of the relevant Pupil Task Cards to pairs orsmall groups and asks them to go and explore the tasks before bringing the whole classback together to discuss what they observed.

The Pupil Task Cards can either be used to complement a Technical Teaching Card,Activity Card or as a standalone activity.

Pupil Task Cards: Stages of Progression

The Pupil Task Cardsprovided in this resourcehave been spilt into fourdifferent formats (whichare set out on the right).

These task cards can beeither used in aprogressive order, whichtakes into considerationthe pupil’s increasedunderstanding ofmovement and athleticsskills or used to provide avariety of challenges topupils.

Each card aims tosupport pupils todevelop a greaterunderstanding of theathletics movements andhow to improve these.

It is hoped pupils will alsodevelop their teamwork,communication andsocial skills through therole of both performerand coach.

IntroductionThese pupil task cards replicate those used in primary schools and helpreinforce the key learning principles for this age group. The cards focus onthe foundation movement skills of running, jumping and throwing andencourage pupils to explore how they use their body to run, jump andthrow effectively. These cards are ideal for those pupils new to athleticsevents and/or in the earlier stages of skill development.

The stage 2 pupil task cards help pupils to develop their observation skillsand a basic understanding of the technical points for each athletics event.Each pupil card provides 6 key technical points which pupils can use toobserve each other’s competence. The cards encourage pupils to observetheir peers (either in pairs or small groups) and provide feedback onwhether the pupil achieved the required technical points.

The stage 3 pupil task cards build on the challenges set out in stage 2 byencouraging pupils to observe; analyse; consider potential interventionsand provide feedback. Provided within each task card is a series of technicalpoints, which if observed the pupil must tick. They will then record whatstrengths their partner demonstrated and any suggested areas ofdevelopment, showing a clear level of understanding of the event.

Stage 4 pupil task cards provide pupils with a group task which encouragesthem to look at a series of technical images and consider what technical pointsthey would suggest for each image and share these with the rest of the group.Once the pupils have agreed on some key technical points, they practice theevent using these points and then reflect on whether they need to be refined.This task activity promotes team work, creative thinking and a goodunderstanding of the movement skills and the various athletics events.

Pupil Observation Model

What to look for/ what youneed to know?• The Key Technical Principles for

the event:

• explained by teacher or

• outlined on the Pupil Task Card.

• What your partner(s) wants towork on.

• Previous experience of partner(s).

Evaluation/DiagnosisComparing with the Key TechnicalPrinciples (explained by the teacheror outlined in the Pupil Task Cards):

• What did your partner do well?

• What do they need to work on?

How will you your partnerimprove? • Make the task Simpler or more

Challenging.

• Feedback on one or two observations youmade and how these may be improved.

• Ask you partner what they think they didwell and what they need to work on. Thisencourages them to self-reflect.

Observation (strategy)

• Initially focus on the technique and not thetime they have run, height jumped or distancethrown.

• Consider where is the best place to observe,what you want to see.

• Consider how many times you should watch askill.

When observing start broad and then narrow downyour focus (‘whole body’ to ‘body segments’).

Working with your partner(s):

• Provide instructions and anexplanation on the task outlinedby either your teacher or withinthe Pupil Task Card.

• If required ask teacher forclarification.

• Feedback on specificobservations and providesuggested changes.

• Discuss in groups / pairs whatyou need to do to improve.

• Use questions to check forpartners understanding.
