Tuesday Gymnastics

Every Tuesday at 9.00am we go to the hall to explore gymnastics.
This week we walked on the beam, jumped on the mini tramp and tried to land on 2 feet, and did forward rolls (roly-poly's).
Moving in this way is great for coordination, balance, core body strength, and overall confidence.
