Unit
5: Gymnastic activities - unit 1
Audience: Key Stage 1
Year Group: 1
In this unit children investigate movement, stillness, and how to find and
use space safely. They explore basic gymnastic actions on the floor and
using apparatus. They copy or create, remember and repeat, short movement
phrases of 'like' linked actions, eg two jumps, or two rolls.
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: Use
that space!
Children will learn to use the workspace efficiently and work safely
within it. Children will learn to use the contrasting actions of
stretching and curling while performing basic actions and being
still. Children will then include these actions while using small
apparatus. Children will describe how their bodies feel during exercise.
Lesson
Plan 2: Wide and narrow shapes
Children will develop their skills in body shape using stretching
and curling. Children will
be able to make narrow and wide stretched shapes using
different parts of their bodies to take their weight. Children will use
these shapes in movement using the floor and large apparatus. Children will learn to put our large apparatus safely.
Lesson
Plan 3: Taking off, jumping and landing
Children will use different parts of their bodies to explore the use
of space both near to and away from the floor. Children will learn how to
take off, land safely and improve their jump. Children will use the floor
and small apparatus to practice different ways of jumping using
hands and feet.
Lesson
Plan 4: Hands and Feet
Children will move in different ways using their hands and feet. Children will learn to move in different
directions. Children will learn to
land safely after jumping from large apparatus.
Lesson
Plan 5: Balancing
Children will balance by taking the weight on different parts of
their bodies. Children will understand that balance is a moment of
stillness. Children will learn to balance on the floor and transfer the
skill when using apparatus.
Lesson
Plan 6: Rocking
Children will be able to use curled and stretched
movements to move around the workspace. Children will practice rocking on
their backs as a preparation for rolling in later lessons. Children will
practice rocking on other parts of their bodies. Children will
be able to
make a sequence by performing two like movements.
Lesson
Plan 7: Rolling
Children will learn to develop their rocking actions into sideways
rolls. Some children will learn to perform a forwards roll safely.
Lesson
Plan 8: Bounce it together
Children will explore different ways of bouncing on the floor and on
apparatus. Children will
be able to move in different directions. Children will
be able to use a
bounce, jump and roll to make a simple sequence of movements.
