Other Work Samples for:

Marley has demonstrated a high level of competence in the fundamental movement skills of overarm throwing and catching. Good control is evident in most aspects of the skills. Although Marley does not take a side-on stance and is inconsistent in the transfer of body weight to the front foot, there is a clear focus on the target and the action is followed through. In catching, Marley tends to focus on trying to place the ball in the mitt rather than absorbing the impact. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade B standard at the end of Stage 2.
