Scheme of Work outline for Gymnastics Primary PE Year 3
Weeks 1-2:
Scheme of Work Outline
Introduction and Basics The first two weeks serve as an introduction to gymnastics. Students get familiar with the equipment, safety guidelines, and the basic principles of gymnastics. They learn about different events like floor, beam, and vault. The focus in these weeks is on basic positions and movements, and developing balance and body control. This foundation is crucial for the more advanced skills they'll learn in the coming weeks.
Week 3-4:
Skill Development
In weeks three and four, students start to develop more specific gymnastic skills. They work on floor work and tumbling, learning through exercises, drills, and simple tumbling sequences. In the fourth week, they're introduced to vaulting, again through exercises, drills, and simple vaulting sequences. These weeks are all about building on the foundation from the first two weeks and starting to develop more advanced skills.
Weeks 5-6:
Combining Skills and Performance
The final two weeks are about combining the skills they've learned and applying them in a performance setting. In week five, students work in small groups to create short routines that combine different elements of gymnastics. In the final week, each student performs a short routine that showcases their skills and understanding of gymnastics. These weeks give students the chance to apply what they've learned in a more creative and challenging way. This 6-week scheme of work provides a comprehensive introduction to gymnastics, starting with the basics and gradually building up to more advanced skills and performance. It's a great way for PE teachers to introduce their students to this sport in a structured and progressive way.
