Gymnastics Program Outline and Activities

Welcome to the Moving Bodies Gymnastics Program! This resource pack is for you and your students to utilise throughout the term and can be included in your programming. Program Outline The program outline lists the activities that your students will cover during the term. Programming In order to provide higher quality instructions to your students, Moving Bodies has aligned all programs to the current PD/H/PE Syllabus.

Our Gymnastics Program directly assess 3 out of the 11 outcomes along with indirectly covering 4 of the other outcomes from the Movement Skill and Performance content strand of the syllabus. While our program focuses on the Movement Skill domain, we also cover activities from the Self Management and Interpersonal Skill domains. Record Sheet The Instructor will update a record sheet each week with the activities your students attempted. You will be given this at the end of the term for your records. The copy of the record sheet in your programming pack, is for you to give to the students so they can mark off all activities attempted during the term great for the parents to see what they are covering in their lessons with us. They can use the updated record sheet completed by Moving Bodies as a reference. Assessing Students In order to assist you with reports, for all programs that are 8 weeks or more in duration, the Moving Bodies Instructors will assess each child in your class. Students will obtain a WorkingTowards (E), SkillAchieved (C-D) or WorkingBeyond (A-B) grade in each area of the assessment. Each child will receive a certificate outlining their achievements at the conclusion of the program. This will be a beneficial way to follow children s progress in their Physical Education lessons with Moving Bodies. Assessment Results These are being recorded on your class list. You will receive a copy of the assessment results at the completion of the term. If your reports are due before the end of the term, feel free to ask the instructors for a copy.
