Why this why now
Pupils have already learnt how to think creatively about the design of their sequences to utilise canon and unison, with a focus on different gymnastics themes. This unit explores a unique aspect of gymnastics where we focus on flight and use jumps and turns to create moments of flight. This unit will allow pupils to use all their learning so far and really test their creativity as they construct their movement sequences and include flight in key moments of the sequence. Pupils will be ready to use their integrity, as they strive to create the best performance possible.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know how to perform a wide range of movements in canon and unison.
- Pupils are able to create balances that are symmetrical and asymmetrical.
- Pupils will be able to link movements and balances together in sequence with flow.
- Pupils understand how to include changes in level and direction in their sequences.
- Pupils can create pair and group sequences on the floor and on apparatus.
