This unit introduces Reception students to fundamental gymnastics through imaginative play and animal movements, building essential body awareness and spatial understanding. The focus is on developing confidence with basic body shapes, balance, and controlled movement whilst establishing crucial safety habits that will underpin all future gymnastics learning. Through progressive skill-building from floor work to apparatus use, students develop the physical literacy and movement vocabulary needed for more complex gymnastics sequences.
