P4 Gymnastics Final Week
It has been great to see the progress our P4 gymnasts have made over the last 4 weeks. They have developed jumping,balancing and rolling skills. Their precision and techniques have progressed so much. Those that have knowledge and additional experience of gymnastics have also been super at sharing their knowledge and skills to support others. This week we worked on balancing skills on the bean and jumping/shapes on the trampette.
