in conjunction with Beaufort Primary School Gymnastics (KS2) Progressive child development through FOM, FMS, FSS will ensure every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential contributing to a healthy lifestyle and a solid foundation for participation in any sport (SSS, PSS). This course activates the neurological functions thus stimulating pathways in the brain improving fine and gross motor skills which in turn improves curriculum learning. i P a g e

Initial Assessment Pass the Buck Children to make a circle holding hands (no more than 7, if possible have 2 or more groups competing against each other: Place a ball in a child s left hand They must pass the ball to their right hand Using their right hand they must pass the ball to the next person s left hand (working anticlockwise) This is repeated until back to the beginning when all the children sit down A person must only use the on correct hand to send and receive i.e. they must not take the ball from the person s right hand with their right hand it must go o LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT etc. Repeat the game but start with the right hand and go clock-wise To make more difficult get them to pass the ball around their body before passing it to the next person Circle Hoop Children to make a circle holding hands (no more than 7, if possible have 2 or more groups competing against each other: Children to hold hands at all times Place a hoop between two children s hands (continue to hold hands afterwards) Children must pass the hoop around the circle without breaking hands Children to send hoop clockwise and anticlockwise Make more difficult by adding another hoop Cat Basket Relay Children to be in small teams one behind each other: One at a time, each child tries to send a coloured bean bag to the corresponding coloured basket Work as relay until all the beanbags have been used Allocate points for each colour To make more difficult space the coloured baskets and different distances Send, Send, Send (Australian pack) Teams to face each other each group has a scrunched up paper ball On a signal players send their paper ball over a line in the direction of the opposite team After a set period, balls are counted to see who has the least balls 4 P a g e
Balls Hoops Spread the team out evenly between two hoops set at a reasonable distance. Children must be able to send a small tennis ball to each other but not so close as they can pass it, and not too far apart so as to make it too difficult to receive: Place a set number of balls in the first hoop with one child This child must send one ball at a time from child to child to the last hoop Winning team is the team with the most balls in the hoop or gets all of them in before the other teams Relay Games Correct running technique Speed Gate (Australian Pack) Send a ball through a gate (cones) to a wall or to a person in your team Snakes Alive The first ball rolled becomes the head of the snake Players deliver one ball at a time, aiming to place each ball behind the previous ball The aim is to form the longest snake Target Relay Gates are set up over a course Players in relay teams roll (send) the ball through the gates back to next team 5 P a g e

This will help when trying to get back to the finish position. Any dropping of the feet will straighten the back making rolling difficult.

Introduce one roll at a time, challenge any children that are finding it easy and support the children who need support: Stretched/Log Roll Make sure that the body remains in a stretched shape throughout. Start in quarter movements, then progress to half movements and then the full roll. The arms must stay by the ears to help initiate and let the roll continue smoothly. Forward Roll Stand up tall with feet together, arms straight by ears. Make sure they have enough mat in front to complete the roll forwards. Adopt the crouch position on the toes with the back straight, knees together, feet together arms stretch forwards. Lower the hands to the floor and raise the hips higher than the head and shoulders. The knees stay slightly bent. Hands must be flat and facing forwards. The head tucks in placing the chin on the chest and the nose towards the knees. This position allows them to gain the correct shape to place the back of their head on the floor. The arms start to bend as the hips rise further over the hands, a small but firm push forwards through toes and straightening of the legs should result in the roll forwards. The back of the head will make brief contact with the floor but should quickly roll along the back until they are able to place the feet on the floor to stand. 30 Progression Introduce children to be placed into pairs and two mats placed together Children to try and synchronise rolls 18 P a g e
