Premier League Primary Stars launches new motion capture PE clips featuring Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford
Premier League Primary Stars has launched brand-new motion capture PE clips for all girls and boys aged 5-11 in primary schools across England and Wales.
The motion capture clips were developed with the same motion capture technology used to generate the series of FIFA video games and were developed in conjunction with EA SPORTS, proud supporters of the Premier League Primary Stars programme.
With the new learning materials, teachers can take pupils step-by-step through a range of movements, emphasising key learning points for pupils and teachers. The short clips are designed to support the programme’s Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 PE packs
Teachers registered to Premier League Primary Stars can now explore the clips and challenge their pupils to try out the moves and develop their technique.
To help develop the clips, we gave two lucky Premier League Primary Stars pupils the opportunity to take part and star in our motion capture session - and they were joined by Manchester United’s striker Marcus Rashford, who demonstrated best practice movements for pupils to follow.
For a behind-the-scenes look, watch our video of the motion capture session with Marcus and find out how the new clips were created.
Premier League Primary Stars is a national curriculum-linked education programme for girls and boys aged 5-11, using the appeal of the Premier League and professional football clubs to inspire children to learn, be active and develop important life skills.
Premier League Primary Stars provides downloadable lesson plans, activities and video content for Maths, English, PE and Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE).
The programme is currently being used by more than 12,000 schools across England and Wales. Join the Premier League Primary Stars conversation on Twitter with #PLPrimaryStars. Visit PLPrimaryStars.com to get involved today.
