Lesson details
Key learning points
- Move: focusing on control, body language and tension can enhance the aesthetics of the gymnastic routine.
- Move: using the entire mat and space area will engage the audience by extending movements.
- Think: applying feedback from previous lessons will help to improve performance of the routine.
- Feel: being open to improve routines builds confidence, enhances performance quality and increases success.
- Connect: recognising and articulating flaws in technique by fellow classmates needs to be done with sensitivity.
Keywords
Aesthetics - making the routine look beautiful and pleasing to watch
Control - being able to manage your body and movements really well to stay in the right position without wobbling or falling
Feedback - information provided about someone's performance, behaviour or work, to help them understand how they are doing and to guide improvements
Common misconception
Pupils rush their feedback and don't give detailed advice to enable pupils to make improvements. Pupils may rush to refine their routines without carefully considering how they can make improvements.
Provide numerous examples of high quality feedback throughout to highlight your expectations. Ensure that pupils take care over the details to improve their routine.

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.
