Additional activities:

Triple Jump
- How far can you jump from a standing start?
- How far can you jump with a run up?
- Can you work out you average for 3 jumps (add all scores and divide by 3)
Teaching points for the triple jump -
- Count your strides/mark out your run up
- Build up your speed and reach a good pace as you get to the take off board
- Take off with one foot
- The sequence of the jump goes hop, skip and jump. (You would all remember me giving you the advice of same foot to opposite foot to landing on both)
- Remember, your jump is measured from the closest point that you touch, so it is important you don't put your hands back.
