What you’ll learn
I can practise, evaluate, improve and perform my pathways sequence on apparatus.
Key learning points
- Move: performing a sequence of quality movements and balances requires confidence, control and flow.
- Think: practising and improving our sequences shows decision making and evaluation.
- Connect: empathy enables us to communicate our feedback to others and carefully suggest ways to improve their sequences.
- Feel: believing in ourselves shows courage and will enable us to make improvements to our overall performance.
Words to know
- performance
- the way you present your routine in front of an audience; how confident you are and how smooth your movements are
- evaluate
- judging the quality of something you have done or seen
- confidence
- the belief that you can perform well and succeed
Common mistakes
Some pupils will not want to perform to a large audience.
Some pupils practise performing for a small group, and if they still feel they can't perform for a larger audience, they don't have to.
For parents, carers and teachers
- If you have prepared sequences before this lesson, set the apparatus up exactly the same so pupils can repeat and improve their sequences. Play music throughout the performances. This creates a good atmosphere and ensures anxious pupils don't feel the spotlight is on them because it is too quiet.
