Symmetry and asymmetry<br />

Warm-up activities<br />

Jog, stretch, show ways of moving along the floor and through<br />

the air using symmetrical shapes<br />

Development of lesson<br />

• floorwork<br />

Lesson 1<br />

Symmetry: developing sequences<br />

• Travel using hands and feet to support<br />

weight symmetrically.<br />

• Jump to show a symmetrical shape in the<br />

air.<br />

• Balance your body on various body parts<br />

showing symmetrical body shapes.<br />

• Create a sequence which includes rolling,<br />

jumping, taking weight on hands and<br />

balancing which is symmetrical throughout.<br />

Teaching points:<br />

observe different points of support for body<br />

weight, shape of body: stretched, curled,<br />

arched<br />

Lesson 2<br />

Symmetry: development of partner<br />

work<br />

Partner work:<br />

• Create a partner sequence showing<br />

symmetrical shapes (matching<br />

movements, over and under movements<br />

and combinations).<br />

• Create a movement sequence to include<br />

a balance, a jump, a roll and a hands or<br />

feet action showing symmetrical shapes.<br />

Partner follows, works alongside or<br />

mirrors actions.<br />

• Practise aiming for fluent, continuous<br />

movement.<br />

Teaching points:<br />

encourage different ways of ordering the<br />

movements, stretched and curled shapes<br />

• apparatus work<br />

• Travel on any body parts onto, along and<br />

off the apparatus using symmetrical<br />

movements.<br />

• Find ways of supporting the body<br />

symmetrically on the apparatus.<br />

Partner work:<br />

• Create two matching symmetrical actions<br />

on the apparatus.<br />

• Travel onto the apparatus using<br />

symmetrical actions, perform two<br />

matching symmetrical balances on it and<br />

come off using a symmetrical movement.<br />

Concluding activity<br />
