This term, children will be taking part in Gymnastics as part of their Physical Education learning plan. The sport of gymnastics tests an athlete’s strength, grace, and body control. Gymnasts perform such acrobatic feats as somersaults, backflips, handstands, and cartwheels. Almost all gymnastic events are performed on special equipment, such as rings or bars. This equipment is called apparatus.
Today, Coach Theo is working with Eden Class on some floor exercises. These exercises take place on a gym mat and involve stretching and technique to improve your flexibility and muscle strength. We took some pictures of our class in action and in warm up, which can be seen in the gallery below.
