This unit challenges Year 5 students to master sophisticated gymnastics techniques whilst developing the artistry of asymmetrical movement and seamless transitions. The focus shifts from isolated skill acquisition to creative sequence building, where students learn to combine powerful dynamic moves like round-offs and cartwheels with controlled inverted positions and expressive pathways. Through progressive exploration of asymmetry, students develop both physical precision and creative choreographic thinking.
