This unit challenges Year 6 students to master advanced gymnastic skills whilst developing sophisticated collaborative abilities through partner and group work. The journey moves from perfecting individual techniques like rolls and inversions to creating impressive group sequences that demonstrate both physical competence and creative choreography. Through progressive skill-building and increasing collaboration, students experience the artistry of gymnastics whilst developing resilience, trust and leadership.
This unit challenges Year 6 students to synthesise their gymnastics skills into sophisticated group performances that combine technical execution with artistic expression. Moving beyond individual skill development, students take ownership of the creative process - from collaborative choreography and peer assessment to refined performance under time constraints. The emphasis on teamwork, musical interpretation, and self-evaluation prepares students for secondary school PE whilst celebrating their primary gymnastics journey.
This unit challenges Year 6 students to explore the fascinating physics of counter balance and tension through sophisticated partner gymnastics work. The focus shifts from individual skills to collaborative problem-solving, where students must understand how their body weight, positioning, and timing can create seemingly impossible balances with partners. Through progressive exploration of push-pull dynamics and gravity-defying positions, students develop both technical precision and creative expression whilst building trust and communication skills essential for advanced gymnastics work.
This unit challenges Year 6 students to apply their accumulated gymnastics skills within the complex social context of collaborative group work, culminating in polished performances. Unlike previous individual work, students must negotiate creative ideas, synchronise timing, and demonstrate collective responsibility for sequence quality. This represents the pinnacle of primary gymnastics education, where technical excellence meets artistic expression and teamwork under the authentic pressure of performance.
This unit develops Year 6 students' ability to create sophisticated partner gymnastics through the technical demands of matching and mirroring. By focusing on synchronisation, precision, and artistic collaboration, students refine their body control whilst developing critical partnership skills including communication, trust, and shared responsibility. The progressive integration of apparatus elevates the challenge, preparing students for advanced gymnastics performances that showcase both individual excellence and collective artistry.
This unit challenges Year 6 students to master controlled flight on and off high apparatus whilst developing sophisticated group choreography skills. The focus combines technical precision with artistic expression, as students progress from individual safety and control to creating visually striking sequences using canon and unison formations. Through this unit, students develop the confidence and body awareness required for advanced gymnastics whilst learning to collaborate effectively in creating polished performances.
This unit challenges Year 6 students to develop sophisticated flight techniques whilst building the confidence and body awareness needed for advanced gymnastics. The progression moves from fundamental take-off and landing mechanics through to creating aesthetically beautiful group sequences that demonstrate control, creativity, and collaborative performance. Through this journey, students develop both physical mastery and the artistic expression that defines high-quality gymnastics.
