Each lesson is thoughtfully structured with clear objectives, engaging warm-up games, practical activities, and a cool-down session. To ensure all students can participate and progress, we've included differentiation strategies for each activity, making it easier or harder based on students' abilities. We've also incorporated 'I Can' steps to help students understand and achieve the learning objectives of each lesson.

In addition to the lesson plans, the scheme of work includes a robust assessment strategy for each week. This allows teachers to track students' progress, provide constructive feedback, and identify areas for improvement.

To support the practical activities, we've listed all the necessary equipment for each week, making it easy for teachers to prepare in advance.
