## Programme

  One lesson requires speed, another requires a good take-off or a precise throw. By trying many things, children discover the versatility of athletics.

- 

### Running and relay

      Sprinting, running longer distances and passing the baton: each form requires something different.

- 

### High jump and long jump

      Children practise high jump and long jump.

- 

### Throwing and shot put

      Ball throwing and shot put show how movement and technique work together.
