EARLY CHILDHOOD GYMNASTICS EXCURSION
Over the last couple of weeks, we have had our early childhood classes visit the Hobart Gymnastics Academy out at Bridgewater.
We practised many fundamental movement skills and movement sequences! We practised our safe landing positions and shapes on the big blue floor. We climbed ladders, over ramps, under beams, over beams, under mats. We jumped and hopped along, trampolines, hoops, mushrooms and mats. We hung off bars and ropes. We finished each excursion with the massive rainbow parachute! There was a lot of fun to be had at the Hobart Gymnastics Academy!
