Grade Prep Report

Gymnastics

This term the Preps have been having weekly gymnastics sessions at the Senior School. It has been a source of great excitement each week to head off to discover what new equipment awaits us! 

The children have learned and practised skills on the balance beam, parallel bars, single bar and mini trampolines to name but a few. 

They have also challenged themselves to use the proper techniques for cartwheels, forward and backward rolls, working with a partner to create shapes and landing safely in the motorbike position.

Here's what a few of the students had to say about their experience:

“I learned how to do cartwheels. I feel really happy about that.” Lucy

“I loved when I got to slide on the wedge with my friend.” Grace

“I liked that I got really strong.” Evan

“I liked learning how to flip over the bar.” Olive

“I was scared at first to try a flip and now I’m not!” Violet

“I loved bouncing on the trampolines.” Benjamin
