Year 4 Gymnastics Assessment: Greater Depth PE Tasks | BookFlik
Boost your pupils’ physical education journey with our comprehensive free PE gymnastics assessment Year 4 greater depth resource. Designed specifically for educators seeking to challenge their most able learners, this assessment pack ensures that children move beyond basic movements to achieve mastery in control, coordination, and creative composition.
Our resource focuses on the core requirements of the Australian Curriculum (ACARA), encouraging pupils to develop flexibility, strength, technique, control, and balance. Within this PE gymnastics assessment Year 4 greater depth pack, students will explore complex sequences that require them to link movements fluidly. They will learn to refine their body tension during balances and demonstrate precision in travel, rotation, and flight. Teachers can utilise this assessment as a summative tool to track progress or as a formative guide to identify those ready for more sophisticated apparatus work.
We have crafted this material to stretch gifted and talented learners, pushing them to move past simple imitation. Instead, students are challenged to explain why specific body parts are placed to improve stability and justify their choice of transitions between apparatus. By integrating this PE gymnastics assessment Year 4 greater depth into your termly planning, you provide a structured pathway for students to evaluate their own performance and refine their sequences through peer feedback.
The resource includes a range of higher-order tasks, such as:
1. Analyse the relationship between centre of gravity and balance during a one-legged pose.
2. Compare and contrast the use of tension in a tuck jump versus a star jump.
3. Justify why specific pathways are chosen to navigate floor space effectively.
4. Explain how core strength influences the fluidity of a floor routine.
5. What might happen if a gymnast fails to maintain body tension during a roll?
6. Design an original sequence incorporating at least three levels of height.
7. Create a peer-observation checklist to identify specific technical improvements.
8. Evaluate the impact of speed changes on the aesthetic quality of a performance.
