This unit introduces Year 3 students to the fundamental gymnastics concepts of symmetry and asymmetry, developing their ability to create and control contrasting body shapes with precision and flow. Through progressive exploration - from floor work to apparatus - students discover how these geometric principles transform into expressive movement sequences. The emphasis on aesthetic quality and storytelling through shape elevates technical gymnastics skills into creative physical expression.
