Gymnastics can be used to develop learner’s social and interaction skills, where they learn to work in teams/ pairs and understand the concept of fair play. Children develop their cognitive skills by participating in the task and using their imagination to solve problem safely. Gymnastics can be used to cover other topics such as …show more content…
Through this task, they observe their peers action and sometimes become inspired to follow their peer movements. It also enables them to remember what they are practicing, supports them to repeat short movement and express their feelings by using several new vocabularies. For example, heart beating, tired, two jumps or even slide over a piece of apparatus.
Acquiring and developing skills:
- Children learn to respond to commands that are given by the teacher. This could be done through voices or another form of commands such as clap or whistle.
- Learn to adapt to the mat and practice moving from the mat to floor.
- Students develop range of basic activities through traveling ( feet, hand, and feet) and understanding weight in different parts of the body.

They use around three simple movements and combine in a sequence, for example, roll, jump and star jump. Once they become familiar with using mats to perform their sequence, they than go on using other apparatus to develop their sequence. For example, the bench
Students are expected to use as much movement as possible and show precise control throughout their sequences.
Acquiring and Developing Skills
- Learn to stay still. For example, when standing on one foot or making body shapes.
- Develop stretching their body whilst carrying out actions.
- Learners are encouraged to use a range of sequences and connect it coherently.
Selecting and applying skills, tactics and compositional ideas.
- Children practice using shapes (such as zigzag, twisted) to develop short sequences. They practice by putting actions in three form, beginning, middle and ending.
- They use their imagination to create new movements and use apparatus safely.
- Learners express their thought on easy and hard movements and the use of apparatus.
