Year 3 - Physical education

Sequence completion and peer to peer review

Gymnastics: movements, balances and sequence composition

Unit Summary

The unit of work introduces pupils to the idea of changes in levels and direction when creating and performing sequences in pairs and in groups. Pupils will reflect on the best way to create their sequences, combining both changes in level and direction, with balances and using a range of apparatus.

Lesson Summary

You will learn to evaluate and improve another group's sequence to ensure a quality performance.

Key Notes

  • Move: performing in groups to peers requires accurate timings, fluidity and quality movements.
  • Think: knowing that sequences must be performed with control and extension is essential to effective evaluation.
  • Think: evaluating other group's work, requires understanding changes in level and direction.
  • Feel: accurately evaluating another group's work requires demonstrating a responsibility to improve their performance.
  • Connect: trusting the evaluation made by our peers to improve our performance is essential to developing sequences.

Vocabulary To Learn

  • peer: people who are similar to you in age or experience
  • evaluate: to look at something carefully, considering it's quality and ways it could be improved
  • performance: the execution or display of a series of actions

Common Mistakes To Avoid

  • Some pupils might think that a quality performance should be long and include difficult skills.

3 Quick Questions (With Answers)

1. Explain the lesson in two key points.

Move: performing in groups to peers requires accurate timings, fluidity and quality movements. Think: knowing that sequences must be performed with control and extension is essential to effective evaluation.

2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'peer'

people who are similar to you in age or experience.

3. Correct this common mistake.

Mistake: Some pupils might think that a quality performance should be long and include difficult skills. Correction: If a short sequence that includes easier skills is performed with accurate timings, fluidity, control and extension, this is demonstrating high quality. Evaluation should consider how something is performed as well as what is performed.
