A unit of work in gymnastics<br />
fifth and sixth classes<br />
Theme<br />
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 />
• Combine a fast travelling movement with<br />
two symmetrical jumps.<br />
• Stop and relax.<br />
• Run and jump in the air, landing showing<br />
symmetrical shapes.<br />
• Stop and relax.<br />
