Unit Summary
This unit will enable pupils to explore and perform a variety of jumps, knowing how to take off and land safely. Pupils will create sequences in groups, combining a variety of jumps and turns on apparatus with changes in level, direction, canon,unison and flow.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to create a jumping sequence in groups incorporating canon, unison and changes in level and direction on a variety of apparatus.
Key Notes
- Move: quality sequences demonstrate accurate fluidity between the jumps with control and extension on and off apparatus.
- Move: using changes in level and direction, canon and unison requires accurate timings and fluidity between the jumps.
- Think: knowing how to create the sequence with flow, including all the components, relies on careful planning.
- Feel: integrity enables us to strive to create a quality sequence including all the components.
- Connect: performing our jumping sequence with accurate timings in canon and unison requires trust and communication.
Vocabulary To Learn
- levels: creating movements and balances that are performed using different heights either on the floor or on apparatus
- direction: changing the course along which we are moving
- sequence: combination of controlled movements and balances that have been linked together in a particular order
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- As pupils add more and more elements to their sequences, the quality of their performance decreases. There may be issues with group dynamics as pupils work in bigger group sizes.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: quality sequences demonstrate accurate fluidity between the jumps with control and extension on and off apparatus. Move: using changes in level and direction, canon and unison requires accurate timings and fluidity between the jumps.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'levels'
creating movements and balances that are performed using different heights either on the floor or on apparatus.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: As pupils add more and more elements to their sequences, the quality of their performance decreases. There may be issues with group dynamics as pupils work in bigger group sizes. Correction: Stress the importance of only moving on to add another element to the sequence once all members of the group are ready to move on. Pupils may have to delegate a leader or be encouraged to listen to each other when working in bigger groups.
