We were lucky enough to enjoy an afternoon devoted to gym together with other New Forest Schools and had a great time meeting the young leaders, who gave us top tips on how to perform routines and stretches and up level our skills.
We seized the opportunity to explore the gymnastics facilities at Noadswood school, completing a carousel of different exercises and equipment as we moved around the gym. The gymnastics trampoline was a highlight, together with the springboard, beams and performing floor routines with ease on a sprung floor made our round-offs much easier. I’m sure this experience has encouraged our children to explore local gym or Acro groups to continue to improve on their natural abilities.
I’m looking forward to taking some Year 3 and 4 children to repeat this experience in the next few weeks.
