Year 6 Physical

In this lesson, we will develop our gymnastics knowledge by considering how we can perform our sequences with control, accuracy and fluency. We will also consider what impact regular gymnastics can have upon our mood and mindset.

In this lesson, we will explore how to create a sequence using rhythmic awareness. We will consider how effective nutrition and hydration can have an impact on our body during exercise.

In this lesson, we will learn how to use a range of compositional techniques to enhance our sequences. We will learn to link these with a series of balances. We will also think about the effect of exercise on our body: speed, strength, cardiovascular fitness and flexibility.

In this lesson, we will refresh our understanding of a number of balances and different types of locomotion and think about how we can construct complex sequences. We will also consider how we can exercise safely in our home environment.

Children will be involved in activities including introducing accelerating from a stationary start position, as well as developing awareness of how to vary distance and accuracy using a heave throw action. This will be through experiential learning involving and game-based activities that are competitive, fun and involve constant movement.

Children will be involved in activities including changing direction and reacting to a verbal cue, as well as practising throwing with a pushing action.

Children will be involved in activities including practising reactive jumping and rotational sling-throwing over varying distances.

Children will be involved in activities enhancing continuous single and double-footed jumps, experiencing the combination of jumping and moving, and introducing pull-throwing actions.
