Study Hub
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 focus on exploring movements and balances in symmetrical and asymmetrical ways. Pupils will create and perform sequences that incorporate symmetrical and asymmetrical balances on apparatus, applying flow. Pupils will learn how to include canon and unison in their sequence creation.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to develop your sequence as part of a group and evaluate and improve another group's sequence to ensure a quality performance.
Key Notes
- Move: when performing our sequence, it must include accurate timing, flow and consistently high-quality movements.
- Think: reflecting on how to further develop a sequence by using creative thinking will lead to a quality performance.
- Think: evaluating another group's work and suggesting ways to improve requires understanding quality gymnastics.
- Connect: communicating feedback to our group with respect will help the development of the sequence.
- Feel: showing a determination to improve our own and others' work by giving accurate feedback demonstrates integrity.
Vocabulary To Learn
- improve: to get better at something
- evaluate: to look at something carefully, considering its quality and ways it could be improved
- performance: the execution or display of a series of actions
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils think that the longer the sequence is, the better it must be.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: when performing our sequence, it must include accurate timing, flow and consistently high-quality movements. Think: reflecting on how to further develop a sequence by using creative thinking will lead to a quality performance.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'improve'
to get better at something.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Pupils think that the longer the sequence is, the better it must be. Correction: Pupils need to understand that quality actions over quantity are essential when creating a sequence. Pupils should also be reminded to follow the sequence pattern/rules.
