I used this resource during a lesson observation recently and received an 'Outstanding' grade in all areas.
The lesson allows high levels of stretch and challenge for ALL pupils as well huge amounts of personalised and differentiated learning. These aren't just buzz words it really does cater for all!!!
I taught this to a high ability year 8 group with 23 in the class. I have used this successfully though with groups of up to 35 and lower ability groups. I will normally follow this lesson up with two more to give pupils the chance to further develop and refine their skills (lesson 2 will focus on pupil feedback/ back somersault and somersault in pike or half twist. Lesson 3 in developing sequence work and further pupil feedback.)

This resource includes the lesson plan (Word) that I used and also come with a 16 page PowerPoint document that includes the following:
Slide 1- Lesson objectives (I printed these out 4 times on A3 and put around the gym)
Slide 2- Gym mat tidy away picture (Made this to ensure that pupils know exactly how to put mats away in a tidy fashion. As your storage area will be different you probably won't be able to use this but hoped this would be 'food for thought'
Slide 3- Apparatus layout diagram (this can obviously be tweaked based on your available apparatus and gym layout)
Slide 4- Starter task mindmap/ what you know about rotation. (This allows you to understand what knowledge your pupils have at the start of the lesson. The words at the bottom are a prompt for pupils. This is then revisited at the end of the lesson to show you AND the pupils how much progress has been made in their understanding)
Slide 5- 12- Sheets for each area of apparatus that pupils can use independently. These include ways to make the movement/ skill easier or more difficult in order for pupils to access a suitable level of individual challenge. (In my lesson I started with area 1 as a warm up for all. Then opened up areas 2-5 after. Areas 6, 7 & 8 could only be accessed if the pupils showed enough control and consistency in all other areas.
Slide 13- 16- 'Mr Men' and 'Little Miss' themed non doer activities (I put these into visitor lanyards for them to wear)

If you are relatively inexperienced in gymnastics I would seek advice from other colleagues or video clips on Youtube about how to safely support pupils in a somersault (Don't be scared or put off by this, its much easier than you think! Only let beginners attempt a somersault when you feel confident to support them though)
