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 what we mean by matching and mirroring movements. Pupils will be able to create sequences of movements with accuracy and fluidity using a range of apparatus. Pupils will effectively evaluate their sequences and find ways to improve and develop them further.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to make final enhancements to your sequence, performing a variety of movements as a group, ensuring fluidity and accurate timing throughout.
Key Notes
- Move: high quality sequences require consistent flow, accurate timing and high quality movements from start to finish.
- Think: designing a group sequence on apparatus requires careful planning, which shows flow and accurate timing.
- Think: deciding which movements to perform as a group requires analysing a variety of options.
- Connect: communicating feedback to our group members with respect will help the development of the sequence.
- Feel: showing determination to improve our sequence demonstrates self-motivation to strive for our best performance.
Vocabulary To Learn
- improve: to get better at something
- group: a team of pupils working together
- performance: the execution or display of a series of actions
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- There may be issues with group dynamics as pupils have to negotiate which movements they will use when working in bigger groups. Not all pupils in the group may be able to perform the movements.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)

2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'improve'
to get better at something.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: There may be issues with group dynamics as pupils have to negotiate which movements they will use when working in bigger groups. Not all pupils in the group may be able to perform the movements. Correction: Pupils may have to delegate a leader or be encouraged to listen to each other when working in bigger groups. Pupils may have to consider adapting their sequences when working with bigger groups.
