Gymnastic activity: locomotion and rolling

In this lesson, we will refresh our understanding of the intermediate balances and consider how to perform these effectively with body tension, control and accuracy. We will also consider how we can exercise safely in our home environment.

To perform basic and intermediate gymnastics balances with control

In this lesson, we will learn how to perform a series of jumps that can be practised safely in the home environment: star jump and straight jump. We will learn to link these with a series of balances. We will also think about the effect of exercise on our body's responses: heart rate and breathing rate.

To link balances and jumps with locomotion

In this lesson, we will explore how to create a sequence using different pathways and levels. We will consider how effective nutrition and hydration can have an impact on our body during exercise.

To create a sequence using different levels and pathways

In this lesson, we will develop our gymnastics knowledge by considering how we can perform our sequences with control and accuracy. We will also consider what impact regular gymnastics can have upon our mood.
