Sequence completion and peer review
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can develop my sequence as part of a group and evaluate and improve another group's sequence to ensure a quality performance.
Key learning points
- Move: when performing our sequence, it must include accurate timing, flow and consistently high-quality movements.
- Think: reflecting on how to further develop a sequence by using creative thinking will lead to a quality performance.
- Think: evaluating another group's work and suggesting ways to improve requires understanding quality gymnastics.
- Connect: communicating feedback to our group with respect will help the development of the sequence.
- Feel: showing a determination to improve our own and others' work by giving accurate feedback demonstrates integrity.
Keywords
Improve - to get better at something
Evaluate - to look at something carefully, considering its quality and ways it could be improved
Performance - the execution or display of a series of actions
Common misconception
Pupils think that the longer the sequence is, the better it must be.
Pupils need to understand that quality actions over quantity are essential when creating a sequence. Pupils should also be reminded to follow the sequence pattern/rules.
Teacher tip
Use tablets to video pupils' work or let them film each other to support the creation of sequences and the initial evaulation.
Equipment
mats, benches, gymnastic tables, climbing frames or wall bars

We use learning cycles to break down learning into key concepts or ideas linked to the learning outcome. Each learning cycle features explanations with checks for understanding and practice tasks with feedback. All of this is found in our slide decks, ready for you to download and edit. The practice tasks are also available as printable worksheets and some lessons have additional materials with extra material you might need for teaching the lesson.
The assessment exit quiz will test your pupils' understanding of the key learning points.
Our video is a tool for planning, showing how other teachers might teach the lesson, offering helpful tips, modelled explanations and inspiration for your own delivery in the classroom.
