Why this why now
Pupils will already have experienced basic ideas in gymnastics to include exploring how to balance, roll, rotate and safe ways to land from apparatus including a bench. Pupils will now refine their technique and body awareness to execute more challenging skills and build more complex sequences in pairs. Later in gymnastics they will become more technically fluent and able to analyse group performances.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know that gymnastics requires good body control and an awareness of safety to always work within personal capabilities.
- Pupils understand that gymnastics requires the development of individual skills but also collaborative skills to support each other to refine and improve their performance.
- Pupils are able to perform basic balances and create a short sequence with good body form.
- Pupils show an awareness of each other and appreciate that some balances, rotations or vaults will be more familiar to some pupils than others.

Gymnastics: body control and paired sequences
This unit will explore core gymnastics skills both individually and in combination. Pupils will develop their stability whilst holding their own body position and when supporting a partner. They will learn how to give appropriate feedback to others on posture and the execution of short sequences.
