ASB Gymnastics! - By Grace and Jordyn




 Today Room 1 went to The ASB Sport Center to have a go at gymnastics. Gymnastics looks a bit tricky but it can be fun.

We got on the bus and away we went.........

As we walked in we met two gymnasts called James and Emma.
"Hello" said James and Emma.
"Please line up on the white line" said James.                                                                                                        






" Okay first we are going to do a warm up and then we'll get started". " Okay so when I yell out an animal you move like that animal". "Okay running....................Jump like a kangaroo...........snap like a crocodile............slither like a snake...........screech like a monkey.


After the warm up we got put into two groups. Group 1 was with James and Group 2 was with Emma.
With James we learnt how to do forward and backwards rolls, climb along bars and jump on a trampoline and do a 360 spin. With Emma we jumped across high beams, Backflipped on bars, cartwheeled and jumped on a tramp and bunny hopped on a beam. After every one had a turn we switched over.













For the last excerise we got a partner, sat back to back and linked arms. We had to try and push ourselves up to a standing position without breaking the link. Them we faced each other and had to put our feet together and push our legs up without letting go of each others hands.








It was tricky but it was fun!!!!!
