Study Guides
This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
Unit Summary
This unit will develop skills in isolation and in combination with other techniques as part of a sequence of movements. To demonstrate control, aesthetics and fluency pupils will analyse and provide feedback to their peers. Pupils will also learn the basics about the axes of rotation.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to perform forward progressions culminating in a safe front landing.
Key Notes
- Move: pushing a safety mat requires strength and good body control.
- Move: positioning the arms and hands in a diamond shape and landing flat on your front will help to absorb the impact.
- Think: visualising the hips landing on the cross in the drop position will support achieving the correct body shape.
- Feel: being calm will support a relaxed and controlled jump with fluid movements reducing the risk of injury.
- Connect: using sensitivity when recognising and articulating flaws in the technique of others.
Vocabulary To Learn
- front landing: when you jump and land on your stomach, with legs extended and arms in a triangle shape, then bounce back up
- relaxed: feeling calm and free from tension
- fluency: the ability to perform a task smoothly and effortlessly, with ease and accuracy, often referring to movement or skill proficiency
- push on mat: also referred to as spotting mats which support confidence to learn new moves with a softer landing
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils think you need to dive from a straight forward position to land in a front landing position.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)

2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'front landing'
when you jump and land on your stomach, with legs extended and arms in a triangle shape, then bounce back up.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Pupils think you need to dive from a straight forward position to land in a front landing position. Correction: The hips should land in the same position as the take off for the front landing. This means the hips need to lift and move backwards slightly to initiate the forward movement.
