Gymnastic activities - unit 3
Audience: Key Stage 2
Year Group: 3
In this unit children focus on improving the quality of their movement, eg
by stretching fingers and pointing toes, to help them produce tension and
extension. They plan and perform sequences of contrasting actions, and
develop flow by linking actions smoothly and planning variations in
speed. In gymnastics as a whole, children use skills and agilities
individually, in combination and in sequence, with the aim of showing as
much control and precision as possible.

Lesson
Plans
Lesson
Plan 1: Making a shape sequence
Children will be able to make different shapes by taking weight on
different parts of their bodies. Children will
be able to use three 'like' movements of body shape to make a short
sequence with a clear beginning, middle and end. Children will
be able to describe how their bodies feel during different
activities.
Lesson
Plan 2: Changing levels
Children will learn to recognise changes in level when making
different body movements. Children will
be able to change their body movements in order to move near to or
far from the ground. Children will
be able to make up a short sequence that involves using the floor
and apparatus to change level three times.
Lesson
Plan 3: Climbing, hanging, swinging
Children will find ways of changing body level on the floor. Children will
be able to swing their arms to help gain height when jumping. Children will
be able to explore ways of climbing onto and hanging/swinging from
apparatus. Children will
be able to make an 'unlike' sequence that includes climbing,
hanging/swinging and jumping off.
Lesson
Plan 4: Making a balancing sequence
Children will find ways of balancing on large and small parts of
their bodies. Children will
be able to use two balances, a rock and leap [or bounce] to make a
short sequence. Children will
be able to teach their sequence to a friend, then combine their
sequences matching each other's movements.
Lesson
Plan 5: Balancing using change of direction
Children will explore ways of balancing using large and small parts
of their bodies. Children will
be able to use different parts of their bodies to move at different
speeds. Children will
be able to move in and out of balances in different
directions. Children will
be able to create a short sequence using balance and change of
direction.
Lesson
Plan 6: Jumping using different pathways
Children will explore different ways of jumping in order to move in
different pathways. Some children
will be able to use sideways rolls to change level while others may
progress to forwards and backwards rolls. Children will
be able to make up a sequence of three 'unlike' movements to include
jumping and rolling using different pathways.
Lesson
Plan 7: Under and over my partner
Children will be able to work co-operatively with another
child. Each child will
be able to make a shape with their body so that their partner can
pass under or through it. Children will
be able to work in pairs to create a sequence in which children move
away from and towards their partner.
Lesson
Plan 8: Putting it all together
Children will be able to extend the sequence they created last week
to include movement on a piece of large apparatus. Children will
consider what they have learnt in this term's lessons and what
skills they still need to develop. Children will
learn about clubs and activities attended by other children that
help to promote fitness.
