This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
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 sequence in pairs using canon and unison that includes three jumps on a variety of apparatus.
Key Notes
- Move: quality sequences include flow between jumps and are performed with control and extension on and off apparatus.
- Move: moving in canon and unison requires accurate timings and fluidity between the jumps.
- Think: knowing how to link the jumps together with flow, using canon or unison requires evaluation and careful planning.
- Feel: committing to improving our ideas and striving to ensure we can create a quality sequence requires integrity.
- Connect: being able to perform our sequence with accurate timings in canon and unison requires trust and communication.
Vocabulary To Learn
- unison: performing the same movement at exactly the same time as our partner
- canon: performing the same movement one after the other in a pair.
- sequence: combination of controlled movements and balances that have been linked together in a particular order
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils struggle to communicate when working in bigger groups. Poor timing in unison and canon may result in a lack of flow throughout the sequence.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: quality sequences include flow between jumps and are performed with control and extension on and off apparatus. Move: moving in canon and unison requires accurate timings and fluidity between the jumps.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'unison'
performing the same movement at exactly the same time as our partner.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Pupils struggle to communicate when working in bigger groups. Poor timing in unison and canon may result in a lack of flow throughout the sequence. Correction: Pupils should communicate and listen to each other's ideas. Pupils should develop ways to help them improve their timing, ensuring there are no long pauses when performing in unison and canon so their sequence still flows throughout.
