This week gave me a chance to experiment and be creative with different equipment as we were able to use the indoor space. Before I delivered the session I thought that the class would enjoy using a range of equipment as we don’t get chance when we are outside due to the space restrictions. The lesson entailed circuit training using a range of equipment, there were different stations for different activities all focused on improving sprint technique and fitness. The comments and feedback from the children were very positive and encouraging for the following sessions and actually gave me inspiration to put more effort into equipment selection. On reflection of this session it was clear to see that the lesson was a lot more engaging and many of the students were kinesthetic learners. Therefore, they enjoyed being interactive and learning through being practical which is something that I learned and will definitely apply to my sessions in the future.
Reflecting in action for this session taught me to use the equipment I was using to the best of my ability. While coaching I noticed that some of the older, more advanced children were finding the equipment too easy to use and they were not being challenged enough. Therefore, while I was reflecting in action I decided to progress the session for these particular students and regress the session for the younger students who were struggling. This provided the lesson with differentiation which enabled me to be able to deliver an effective lesson where the learning outcomes where definitely met.
