Gymnastics One

 Today we went to the Christchurch School Of Gymnastics. It took about half an hour to get there. First we had to divide into 5 different groups. We did a warm in lines which was running, high knees and lots of stretches. I found it nice being able to warm up and stretch before we had to do more fun activities. My first activities was the bars. We had to hold ourselfs up in a tuck position for three seconds. I found this easier because I do dancing and we work on core strength. We moved to a piece of elastic tied to a bar which we had to place our feet through and swing in a n L position. We had to do lots of other tasks that involved core strength and perseverance with the bars. We then moved into a line and walked to the beams, which were each staged at different heights. We had to walk, walk backwards, grape vine and crawl. We had tp make sure our arms were out so that we were balanced. I had to make sure that I had one foot in front of the other the whole time. After that we had the trampoline. We got to bounce as high as we could and we did lots of variety of jumps. My favorite was star jumps and straddle jumps. Then we got to go on the springiest tramp that lead into the foam pit. We got to do jumping turns and lots more then we had to do one big jump into the foam pit. I had to help Greta out because she got stuck in the pit : ) We then had the floor which involved a variety of skills for handstands and cartwheels. I liked ding the cartwheels along the beam because it involved moments of thrill. I can't wait for next time because we will be doing flips and tumbles.
