Creative Sequences & Partner Work
Gymnastics
•Year 4
•6 Lessons
This unit guides Year 4 students through the fascinating world of gymnastics sequence creation, beginning with fundamental body support concepts and culminating in sophisticated partner work. The emphasis is on developing body awareness, control, and creativity whilst building confidence in weight-bearing positions. Through progressive skill development, students learn to connect individual movements into flowing sequences that demonstrate both technical proficiency and artistic expression.

Lesson 1
Big Question:
How can we use different points and patches on our body to create controlled, graceful gymnastics movements?
Key Objectives:
- • To develop the ability to support body weight on hands and feet in symmetrical positions
- • To explore and perform controlled spinning movements using different points and patches
Lesson 2
Big Question:
How can we create smooth, flowing sequences using asymmetrical body positions and spinning movements?
Key Objectives:
- • To develop the ability to take weight on hands in front and back asymmetrical supports
- • To perform controlled spinning movements while maintaining asymmetry
Lesson 3
Big Question:
How can we create smooth, controlled sequences that flow from one movement to another?
Key Objectives:
- • Create sequences involving different controlled rolls and front and back supports
- • Use feedback effectively to improve performance
Lesson 4
Big Question:
How can we create flowing sequences that connect different types of balances with control and creativity?
Key Objectives:
- • To create sequences moving seamlessly from front and back supports to other balances
- • To form different shapes with legs whilst in shoulder balances
Lesson 5
Big Question:
How can we create gymnastics sequences that show perfect timing and formation changes with a partner?
Key Objectives:
- • To work in different formations within a gymnastics sequence
- • To perform movements in unison to a set count
Lesson 6
Big Question:
How can we create smooth, creative sequences with a partner using different support positions?
Key Objectives:
- • To work cooperatively with a partner to create gymnastics sequences
- • To perform front and back support positions with control and fluency
