Unit Overview

This unit builds on prior learning by developing greater control, fluency and complexity in gymnastic movement.

  • Refines strength, balance, flexibility and coordination
  • Develops more complex actions including balances, rolls, jumps and transitions
  • Links movements smoothly to create longer, more challenging sequences
  • Uses changes in level, direction, speed and flow effectively
  • Applies compositional ideas such as symmetry, contrast and canon
  • Encourages pupils to analyse, refine and improve performance

Unit Outcomes

By the end of this unit, pupils will be able to:

  • Perform a wide range of gymnastic actions with strength, control and precision
  • Create and perform longer, more complex sequences with fluency
  • Use changes in level, direction, speed and flow effectively
  • Apply compositional ideas such as symmetry, contrast and canon
  • Adapt and improve performance using feedback and evaluation
  • Perform safely and confidently on floor and apparatus
