This foundational unit introduces Year 1 students to the core building blocks of gymnastics through three fundamental body shapes: wide, narrow, and curled. By positioning students as 'champion gymnasts' from the start, the unit builds confidence while systematically developing body awareness, spatial understanding, and movement control that will underpin all future gymnastics learning.
