Pupils respond imaginatively to different stimuli and activities. They put forward their own ideas about what to include in a game, a longer series of actions in gymnastics or a simple dance. They recognise and follow the rules of an activity. They improve their performance through practising their skills and describe what they and others have done in order that it might be improved. Their movements show greater control, with improved tension and a clearer shape.
Linked actions flow more smoothly.
Techniques are increasingly effective, so that skills achieve greater precision and accuracy. They provide simple explanations for the changes that take place in their bodies during exercise. Pupils practise to establish and consolidate their increasing range of skills with increased efficiency and sensitivity. They find solutions to the different challenges they encounter in the areas of activity. They show increasing control, fluency and accuracy in linking a longer series of actions.
