Why this why now
This unit continues to develop pupil’s knowledge and application of creating movements and balances, covered previously. Pupils will build upon and further develop their ability to sequence movements together by including effective flow. Pupils will be challenged to explore additional compositional components such as pathways and learn to execute their movements sequences while considering a variety of pathways. The unit will fully prepare pupils for the next steps in sequence design which will include pair and group work.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils can move in a variety of ways.
- Pupils are able to coordinate and control their bodies to perform movements.
- Pupils will be able to link movements together in sequence.
- Pupils can move and balance in high and low ways.
- Pupils know how to perform movements and balances that are wide, narrow and curled.
- Pupils can create movements and balances on the floor and on apparatus.

Gymnastics: linking movements and balances
This unit will challenge pupils to explore linking movements and balances together incorporating flow. Pupils will create and perform sequences on apparatus focussing on jumps, rolls and balances. Pupils will reflect on how to link movements and balances while travelling along a variety of pathways.
