Big Question:

How can changing speed and direction make our gymnastics sequences more exciting and skilful?

Key Objectives:

• • Compose and perform a 6-element sequence using changes in speed and direction
• • Apply compositional ideas including speed variation and directional changes to improve sequence quality

Big Question:

How can we use the STEP model to create and adapt gymnastics sequences with partners?

Key Objectives:

• • Work with a partner to use the STEP principle to create and perform a partner sequence
• • Create and perform sequences in unison with clear start and finish positions

Big Question:

How can I use my hands as a strong foundation to create beautiful gymnastic sequences?

Key Objectives:

• • Compose a sequence of actions including weight on hands, showing control
• • Demonstrate control and body tension when taking weight on hands

Big Question:

How can we use compositional ideas to create sequences that tell a story through movement?

Key Objectives:

• • To develop a 6-element sequence using four different compositional ideas
• • To work collaboratively to plan and teach compositional components

Big Question:

How can we work together to create and perform a flowing gymnastics sequence that shows different compositional ideas?

Key Objectives:

• • To cooperate as a group to refine a short gymnastics sequence using compositional components
• • To perform a 6-element sequence that demonstrates good body tension and control

Big Question:

How can we fairly judge and improve gymnastics performances using specific criteria?

Key Objectives:

• • To perform existing sequences with improved technique for evaluation
• • To develop skills as judges using specific criteria and scoring systems
