Why this why now
Pupils have already learnt how to design creative sequences incorporating jumps and turns to create moments of flight. This unit will allow pupils more freedom and creativity to learn new skills. Pupils will develop their confidence, improving their problem solving skills as well as understanding the importance of safe risk-taking and learning to overcome challenges in a fun and supportive setting.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know how to perform a wide range of movements and balances on the floor and on apparatus.
- Pupils can create moments of flight including jumps and turns, controlling their landings.
- Pupils can create pair and group sequences on the floor and on apparatus.
- Pupils understand how to include changes in level and direction in their sequences.
- Pupils know how to create both counter balance and counter tension balances.
- Pupils will be able to link movements and balances together in sequence with flow.
