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 explore core gymnastics skills both individually and in combination. Pupils will develop their stability whilst holding their own body position and when supporting a partner. They will learn how to give appropriate feedback to others on posture and the execution of short sequences.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to evaluate and refine a sequence to improve difficulty and/or quality of execution.
Key Notes
- Move: a high quality sequence requires consistent flow, accurate timing and a variety of movements and balances.
- Think: evaluating a sequence requires consideration of the composition, execution and overall quality of performance
- Think: refining a sequence in gymnastics involves improving the quality, flow and execution.
- Feel: evaluating and refining a sequence can make you feel accomplished, empowered and more confident in your abilities.
- Connect: working with others to improve a routine fosters collaboration towards a shared goal and enhances creativity.
Vocabulary To Learn
- quality: performing movements and balances with good technique and precision
- evaluating: assessing a performance based on specific criteria
- refining: improving and perfecting a sequence to enhance its quality, precision and overall performance
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- When pupils evaluate each others performances, they overlook the important details such as performing with control, extension, flow and accurate timing.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
