This unit develops Year 4 students' understanding of how body control and core engagement underpin quality gymnastics work. Through progressive exploration of balances, rolls, and weight transfer, students discover that strength and grace work together to create flowing movement sequences. The emphasis on body awareness and smooth transitions prepares students for increasingly sophisticated compositional work whilst building physical literacy and confidence.
