During Y4 lessons, pupils further develop individual skills. Pupils develop the use of planning in their PE books to map out routines for their groups. Pupils start to work in groups combining individual skills to help create a fluent sequence understanding different roles and abilities within their chosen group.
Pupils are encouraged to review and improve their performances from session to session. The following is an example of how a group managed this. After improvements As well as creating their own sequences pupils are given set sequences to learn and perfect.
