•6 Lessons
This unit develops Year 2 students' understanding of spatial pathways through gymnastic movement, focusing on how their bodies can travel through space using zig-zag and curved patterns. By combining floor work with apparatus exploration, students build technical control whilst developing the artistic quality of flow that defines gymnastics. The 'champion gymnast' narrative inspires students to refine their movements and take pride in their performance.
