Gymnastics 7-11: A Session by Session Approach to Key Stage 2

A teacher's guide to teaching gymnastics at Key Stage 2

This workbook adopts a session-by-session approach to the teaching of gymnastics for the 7-11 age range. It sets out a series of sessions for you over the four-year key stage span, thus ensuring progression from year to year.

The content relates directly to those components which relate to gymnastics. Importantly, the workbook has been designed to anticipate likely future developments of the National Curriculum at Key Stage 2. It provides you with the very latest thinking regarding teaching gymnastics in primary schools.

Owing to the demand from teachers of younger children, there is a companion volume, Movement Education Leading to Gymnastics 4-7: A Session-by-Session Approach to Key Stage 1 (Product B00076). It follows a similar format to this volume and together they provide a progressively developing programme of work from Year Reception to Year 6, i.e. Key Stages 1 and 2.
