Creating Flowing Gymnastics Sequences Through Linking
Gymnastics
•Year 2
•6 Lessons
This unit develops Year 2 students' ability to combine individual gymnastics skills into smooth, flowing sequences both on the floor and using apparatus. The emphasis is on quality of movement and seamless transitions, moving beyond isolated skills to create champion-like performances. Through progressive challenges, students develop compositional thinking, performance confidence, and peer evaluation skills.

Lesson 1
Big Question:
How can we move like champion gymnasts by linking movements together smoothly?
Key Objectives:
- • To explore different ways of moving that can be linked together
- • To develop smooth, flowing movements from one action to another
Lesson 2
Big Question:
How can we create smooth, flowing sequences that combine different gymnastic movements on apparatus?
Key Objectives:
- • To develop different movements that students can link together on apparatus
- • To apply 'champion gymnastics' principles when combining movements
Lesson 3
Big Question:
How can we move like a champion gymnast by linking our movements together?
Key Objectives:
- • To apply 'champion gymnastics' principles to perform flowing movement sequences
- • To explore different ways to link jumps, rolls and balances together
Lesson 4
Big Question:
How can we move like champion gymnasts when creating flowing sequences on apparatus?
Key Objectives:
- • To develop sequences that combine jumping, rolling and balancing on apparatus
- • To demonstrate 'champion gymnastics' with controlled, flowing movements
Lesson 5
Big Question:
Can we move like a champion gymnast by linking movements together?
Key Objectives:
