Year 5 - Physical education

Performance and self-reflection

Gymnastics: flight

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 that combines a variety of jumps performed on apparatus with changes in level, direction, canon and unison, as well as group balances, and reflect on ways to improve.

Key Notes

  • Move: high quality performances require consistency in flow, extension, control and how still the balances are held.
  • Think: thinking about the quality of the sequence and how to make improvements where necessary requires reflection.
  • Connect: reflecting on our group sequence and making necessary developments requires trust and communication.
  • Feel: striving to produce the best sequence we are capable of demonstrates integrity and a commitment to learning.

Vocabulary To Learn

  • reflection: to look at something carefully and decide how good it is
  • group: a collection of people who are connected
  • performance: the execution or display of a series of actions

Common Mistakes To Avoid

  • Pupils may not contribute to reflections as a group as they may lack confidence to speak up in front of others. Pupils may lose flow in their sequence when they add balances.

3 Quick Questions (With Answers)

Move: high quality performances require consistency in flow, extension, control and how still the balances are held. Think: thinking about the quality of the sequence and how to make improvements where necessary requires reflection.

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

to look at something carefully and decide how good it is.

3. Correct this common mistake.

Mistake: Pupils may not contribute to reflections as a group as they may lack confidence to speak up in front of others. Pupils may lose flow in their sequence when they add balances. Correction: Encourage every pupil to contribute in group reflection tasks and consider ways in which everyone can give feedback. Pupils should think carefully about how they will get into and out of their balances to maintain flow throughout the sequence.
