Over the last two weeks the Grade 1/2 and Prep/1 classes visited the Hobart Gymnastics Academy located in Bridgewater. It is always such an enjoyable experience for our students to engage in all of the fun activities the gymnastics coaches plan for us!

We practised many fundamental movement skills and sequences, our safe landing positions and shapes on the big blue floor. We climbed up and down walls, over ramps, under beams, over beams and through tunnels. We jumped and hopped along beams, trampolines, and mats. By far the most favourite activities of the sessions were the trampolines and foam pit. It was interesting to learn that the trampolines we were using were of Olympic standard. They were very bouncy!

There was a lot of fun to be had at the Hobart Gymnastics Academy!

Thank you to the Hobart Gymnastics Academy coaches, for ensuring our students were safe and knew the correct technique of moving through each activity.

Thank you to Mrs Browning, Mrs Barber, Ms Johns, Mrs Stock, Mrs Hensby who volunteered to assist on our excursions, your extra support for our students gave them the confidence they needed to take safe risks!
