Gymnastics Review.

Every Thursday, for the past 5 weeks we have done gymnastics at Nairnville Recreation Centre. Nairnville Recreation Centre is an indoor sports field. For Term 2 we have been going to Nairnville to learn some sports. Last year we did a different sport each week or sometimes we did the same sport or activity for a few weeks. Now we are doing gymnastics each week, this year.

This is bad because we don’t get to try new sports and learn new things. But in a way gymnastics is good because if you different gymnastic activities will improve a different muscle in your body and make you really flexible. Another reason why gymnastics is good is if you keep on practicing on the same activity over and over again you will get better at it.

I think that I have got better at doing forward rolls, candle-sticks and balance-beam related activities. For gymnastic sessions each week it is split into 3 stages. One stage is told by our teacher what we have to do and the rest by two or more Nairnville staff .My favourite stage is the teacher’s because it isn’t as hard out as the instructor’s courses they set out, by letting us doing forward rolls and bridges.

Before we come to Nairnville the Nairnville staff set gymnastics’ course for our class. They then split the course into three parts. This gives us 11 minutes on each part. A new obstacle they put in the gymnastics course this year is the bouncy air-mat which is pretty fun.

As well as doing gymnastics at Nairnville Recreation Centre we play a ton of games and activities such as Snakes, Octopus, and Ship-to-Shore before and after Gymnastics. I really don’t know why we do these games because they don’t tie in with the theme gymnastics. Most have listening in them which I don’t like. The only game I really like is Snakes but we rarely do that game.
