Why this why now
Pupils have already learnt how to design sequences on apparatus by including movements and balances with changes in level and direction. In this unit, pupils will be challenged to now think about more complex themes such as Symmetry and asymmetry, which add new layers of thinking to their pair and group work. Pupils will also be introduced to canon and unison and have to think creatively about the design of their sequences to utilise these key components to ensure their sequences are highly creative and aesthetically pleasing.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know how to perform a wide range of movements and balances.
- Pupils know how to perform a wide range of movements and balances.
- Pupils are able to coordinate and control their bodies to perform movements.
- 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.
- Pupils will be able to link movements and balances together in sequence .

Gymnastics: symmetry and asymmetry
This unit will focus on exploring movements and balances in symmetrical and asymmetrical ways. Pupils will create and perform sequences that incorporate symmetrical and asymmetrical balances on apparatus, applying flow. Pupils will learn how to include canon and unison in their sequence creation.
