What you’ll learn
I can link two movements together and apply quality gymnastics to the performance.
Key learning points
- Move: linking skills together requires performing one action after another without stopping and with control.
- Think: choosing the best two movements to link together requires effective reflection and evaluation.
- Connect: listening to feedback, watching others perform and suggesting ways to improve shows empathy.
- Feel: striving to improve our skills through practice shows self-belief and a commitment to the best performance.
Words to know
- linking
- successfully adding two movements together so that they flow one after the other
- performance
- a display of your very best gymnastic skills
- quality
- the good parts of the performance that suggest the movements and balances are performed correctly
Common mistakes
Peer feedback refers to liking jumps rather than the quality of skills. Pupils only practice one combination of skills. Pupils think they will be judged negatively in their performance.
Model good feedback, referring to the quality of skills. Encourage pupils to move around the apparatus trying a range of combinations. Encourage pupils to ensure this is a positive experience for all and that they should talk kindly to one another.
For parents, carers and teachers
- The apparatus list is for guidance only. Use whatever you have available and whatever you have time to prepare. 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.
