Gymnastics

We are so excited to be beginning our gymnastics programme in Room 3! Today we started with a very energetic game of sharks and islands to get our blood pumping, and then moved on to rehearsing our skills for jumping and landing (bent knees for great spring and shock absorption!), and for balancing as we walk forwards and backwards along a beam. We know that when we extend our arms and keep them straight (and when we keep our head up and our eyes straight ahead) that it is easier to balance - we are keeping a very even centre of gravity.
