Over the last couple of weeks, we have had our upper primary classes visit the Hobart Gymnastics Academy out at Bridgewater!

Our students practised many fundamental movement skills and movement sequences during their time at the academy! We started each session with the coaches warming up and stretching on the massive blue floor mat space. We moved around obstacle courses, jumped on trampolines, hung upside down, climbed ropes, jumped into the foam pit, practised our landing shapes, jumped over hurdles and ladders, crawled under objects, practised balancing and so much more! Next time you bump into one of our upper primary students you will have to asked them what their favourite activity at the academy was! By the end of each session, all students had red faces from all of the effort they put into the session. A lot of fun was had at the Hobart Gymnastics Academy! In the newsletter, we have included some flyers from the Hobart Gymnastics Academy with some different extra curricula opportunities for our students.

• Ethan - I loved the trampolines because I have one at home and they are fun to bounce on!
• Aisha - I liked the foam pit! And jumping side to side on the triangle boxes
• Laurie - I liked the trampoline because we got to jump using different skills
• Holly - I enjoyed learning the names for the different movements
• Alex S - My 2 favourite things were climbing the ropes and the warm-up activities
• Billy - I enjoyed jumping forwards on the trampolines and the warm-up games

Thank you to coach Leanne for organising our excursions for Molesworth around the academy’s packed schedule, coach Mel, coach B and coach Hannah for assisting us through many different activities and for demonstrating how to move in a safe way. Thank you to Mrs Maw, Mr Jelkic, Mr Roberts, Mr Turner and Mrs Barber who assisted in supervising and assisting in these excursions!
