Object manipulation
What it could look like:
- Throwing an object
- Catching an object
- Dribbling an object
- Kicking an object
- Striking an object
Pre-foundational - Stage 0
I have the potential to learn through movement and physical activity. At this stage I have limited movement capability and require support.
Foundation & Exploration - Stage 1
Establishes and explores how the body can be used to move, hold, control, send and manipulate different objects.
- Throwing an object different distances
- Walking or running whilst carrying or moving a ball
Acquisition & Accumulation - Stage 2
Practices and refines object manipulation skills performing them with increasing proficiency.
- Throwing an object at a target with increasing accuracy
- Dribbling a ball with control (hand, foot or stick)
Consolidation & Mastery - Stage 3
Enhances and masters object manipulation skills with control and precision in diverse movement and physical activity.
- Changing the angle, speed and/or power an object is thrown with proficiency
- Dribbling a ball at speed and changing direction quickly in response to an opponent's movement or tactic
Transfer & Empowerment - Stage 4
I am empowered by movement and physical activity. I continually transfer my skills, knowledge and feelings to different movement and physical activity contexts. I use combinations of elements from all four domains, and apply my learnings through movement and physical activity to other aspects of my life.
