It takes a session-by-session approach to teaching physical development and well-being through gymnastics for the 7-11 age range. Fully updated with the most current schemes of work to use at Key Stage 2, it sets out a series of 44 sessions over the four year span, to give you planned and logical progression of both content and advice. The session plans are structured by year group and can be followed as a complete course or dipped into for ideas and inspiration.
