What you’ll learn
I can finalise and perform a group sequence with fluidity, accurate timing, incorporating movements and balances with asymmetry, symmetry, canon and unison.
Key learning points
- Move: performing a high-quality group sequence requires consistently demonstrating control and extension on apparatus.
- Think: performing a high-quality sequence requires consistent flow and accurate timing.
- Connect: acting on feedback will improve our performance and show great respect towards those observing.
- Feel: self-motivation enables us to strive to improve our own and others' sequences.
Words to know
- feedback
- helpful comments to know how you're doing or how you can improve.
- performance
- the execution or display of a series of actions
- quality
- the good characteristics of the performance that suggest the movements and balances are performed correctly
Common mistakes
When challenged with adding additional actions to their sequences as they finalise their work, pupils add in additional and unnecessary actions, coming away from the stipulated actions to include.
Explain that extra actions don't necessarily improve the sequence and will make it very difficult for someone observing to evaulate their work.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Prior to the final performance, challenge pupils to film each other performing and evualate their own performance to compare their self assessment with another group's peer assessment of their work.
