  • Move: movement competence
  • Think: evaluation, analysis and reflection

Description

This unit will introduce pupils to creating movements and balances whilst developing movement competence. Pupils will explore moving and balancing in high, low, wide, narrow and curled ways, on the floor and on apparatus. Pupils will add movements together and reflect on their ideas.

This unit will build on the movement competence that will have taken place in their initial locomotion and dance units. Pupils will start to create movements and balances through gymnastics and be challenged to focus on the quality of each movement and to start to sequence these movements together. This unit will also introduce pupils to the idea of working together safely as they navigate the apparatus set up, being responsible for themselves and others, which is developed further in Year 2. This unit will give pupils the confidence to give self-and peer feedback in future units.
