Sequence completion and performance
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can finalise and perform a group sequence with fluidity, accurate timing, incorporating movements and balances with asymmetry, symmetry, canon and unison.
Key learning points
- Move: performing a high-quality group sequence requires consistently demonstrating control and extension on apparatus.
- Think: performing a high-quality sequence requires consistent flow and accurate timing.
- Connect: acting on feedback will improve our performance and show great respect towards those observing.
- Feel: self-motivation enables us to strive to improve our own and others' sequences.
Keywords
Feedback - helpful comments to know how you're doing or how you can improve.
Performance - the execution or display of a series of actions
Quality - the good characteristics of the performance that suggest the movements and balances are performed correctly
Common misconception
When challenged with adding additional actions to their sequences as they finalise their work, pupils add in additional and unnecessary actions, coming away from the stipulated actions to include.
Explain that extra actions don't necessarily improve the sequence and will make it very difficult for someone observing to evaulate their work.
Teacher tip
Prior to the final performance, challenge pupils to film each other performing and evualate their own performance to compare their self assessment with another group's peer assessment of their work.
Equipment
mats, benches, gymnastic tables, climbing frames or wall bars

The starter quiz will activate and check your pupils' prior knowledge, with versions available both with and without answers in PDF format.
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.
