Study Hub
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 perform a routine and provide constructive feedback to others.
Key Notes
- Move: a quality routine requires control, consistent flow, accurate timing and excellent movements from start to finish.
- Think: deciding which movements to perform as a group requires analysing various options.
- Think: if a mistake is made, continue to keep the routine flowing and show poise to minimise further deductions.
- Feel: demonstrating confidence when performing helps execute skills making it more visually pleasing for the audience.
- Connect: motivating and setting targets for classmates can help as they seek to complete their best performance.
Vocabulary To Learn
- routine: a series of specific movement and balances that you practice and perform in a particular order
- perform: to show a skill or routine in front of others
- flow: moving from one movement to another without stopping
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- When working in bigger groups, there may be issues with group dynamics as pupils have to negotiate which movements they will use. Not all pupils in the group may be able to perform the movements.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
