Unit
6: Gymnastic activities - unit 2
Audience: Key Stage 1
Year Group: 2
In this unit children focus on increasing their range of basic gymnastic
skills. They create simple sequences of 'unlike' actions on the floor, eg
a roll, jump and a shape. They then transfer what they learn on the floor
to apparatus.
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: Changing
direction on hands and feet
Children will use their hands and feet to travel in different ways
thinking about direction and level. Children will
link three 'like movements' together and begin to think about
beginning and completing a sequence.
Lesson
Plan 2: Changing shape
Children will develop quality and control when changing shape using
stretching and curling movements. Children will
begin to make short sequences using 'unlike movements'. Children will
transfer movement ideas from the floor to apparatus. Children will
describe and comment on their own and each other's actions.
Lesson
Plan 3: Straight Pathways
Children will understand the meaning of the word 'Pathway'. Children will
move in straight lines, changing direction and body movement. Children will
make up a short sequence of movement while moving in straight lines
on the floor and using apparatus. Children will
identify changes of direction and describe movements being made.
Lesson
Plan 4: Curved Pathways
Children will develop their understanding of the word 'Pathway' to
include 'Curved Pathways'. Children will
move in curved pathways such as those made by letters in their
names. Children will
make up a short sequence of three movements while moving in curved
pathways, both on the floor and on apparatus. Children will
copy and practice movements made by other children.
Lesson
Plan 5: Pathways with a partner
Children will work co-operatively with each other. Children will
begin to develop partner work by copying what their partner is doing
and then changing roles. Children will
transfer skills learnt on the floor to small and low level
apparatus.
Lesson
Plan 6: Turning around
Children will explore different ways of jumping. Children will
learn to turn in the air so that they move off in a different
direction. Children will
make a sequence of three 'like actions' [jumps] for their partner to
copy.
Lesson
Plan 7: Meeting a partner
Children will learn to change direction by turning or spinning their
bodies. Children will
work with a partner to perform a sequence where they meet and cross
or pass safely.
Lesson
Plan 8: Running, jumping and rolling with a partner
Children will work in pairs but share the apparatus with another
couple. Children will
understand the need to work with and around another couple in order
to use the workspace and apparatus safely. Children will
work in pairs to perform a sequence of three 'unlike' movements.
