This unit develops Year 2 students' understanding of body shapes (curled, stretched, arched) and how to link these into smooth, flowing gymnastics sequences. The focus is on building body awareness, control and strength whilst creating aesthetically pleasing movements that transition seamlessly from one shape to another. Through progressive exploration on the floor and apparatus, students learn to support their own body weight whilst expressing creativity in sequence design.
