Sequence ideas
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can create quality movements to travel over and under apparatus.
Key learning points
- Move: quality movements require control so the movement is executed silently, with extension of the fingers and toes.
- Think: creating a range of movements to travel over or under apparatus requires careful decision making.
- Think: using a range of apparatus to create movements and balances enables us to reflect on performing quality ideas.
- Feel: suggesting ideas for moving over and under apparatus demonstrates a responsibility to take the lead.
- Connect: moving over or under apparatus with control requires trust and careful teamwork.
Keywords
Quality - the good characteristics of a performance that suggest the movements and balances are performed correctly
Balance - maintaining a desired shape in a stationary position, completely still
Movement - an action that makes all or part of your body change position
Common misconception
Some pupils may think that being a leader is the same as being 'the boss' who tells everyone what to do and has all the ideas that others must follow.
Being a leader can involve making suggestions and sharing ideas. They might follow your way of thinking and come up with new ideas themselves. It can also involve asking other people for their opinions and listening carefully.
