Today we had a visit from three lovely ladies from ‘West Lothian Gymnastics’. What did we do ? Well we all went to the gym hall and had a gymnastics taster session . It was amazing ! First of all we played a warm up game called ‘Breakfast’ before we stretched out. We were then placed into three groups and let loose on the equipment doing forward rolls, backward rolls, handstands, kangaroo jumps and more jumping using the springboard. We had such a good time that some of us wanted to have another go. Well done everyone for working hard !
Well done to Grace and Rebecca for receiving these medals for gymnastics and cheer leading.

Well done to Maria-Victoria who won a silver medal at her rhythmic gymnastics competition on Saturday. She had to go all the way to Aberdeen. We are very proud of you Maria-Victoria. Congratulations!
Primaries 3 and 3/2 enjoyed a taster session of gymnastics on Friday morning. There were lots of fun activities set up in the hall for us to try out. We enjoyed doing forward and backward rolls, pencil rolls, running and jumping on the spring board, balancing and bunny hops.
Ollie liked jumping from side to side on the bench and found it quite easy.
Imogen enjoyed running and jumping high off the spring board. She said it was great fun.
Hana liked doing forward rolls and said that she is good at it.
Ben thought he was good at balancing on the wooden beam and used his hands to help him balance.
Here are some photos of us in action:

You have the right to play and relax by doing things like sport, music and drama
On Saturday 7th June, I did a club championship gymnastics competition. I won two gold medals, one for participating in the competition and the other one for coming 1st in my age group. For the competition I had to do a floor routine and a vault routine. I got a score of 24.5 for both floor and vault. I was quite nervous at first but then I got a bit excited. We had a warm up then a practice on the floor, then on vault. I was against one of my friends called Darcy who came 2nd. I was chosen to do a level 3 routine which is one of the highest levels. It was a bit hard but because I had been practising I found it easier than I would have. I enjoyed it because I love gymnastics. It is one of my favourite sports. I am hoping I do more competitions soon.

On Saturday 1st March, Ravenscraig Sports Centre in North Lanarkshire hosted the Scottish Gymnastic Championships and our very own Taylor Stirling (P5A) was there to participate in the Acrobatic Section of the competition.
Acrobatic Gymnastics includes partnership work on the floor. This discipline is both physically and psychologically demanding. It involves gymnasts working closely together, building up trust and responsibility for each other and developing skills in balance and dynamic elements. Acrobatic Gymnastics combines the skill and activity of the gymnast, expressive movement and artistry of a dancer and the courage and excitement of the acrobat.
Although Taylor was extremely nervous about the competition on Friday, he put all his worries to one side to out-perform all the other athletes and along with his partner, topped the table for the second year running and walked away with the Gold Medal!
This is a tremendous achievement and we are all extremely proud of Taylor – Scottish Acrobatic Champion 2014.
In P.E primary 6b have been learning about Gymnastics. Mrs Smith has been teaching us about different jumps, balances and floor work.
In teams Mrs Smith challenged us to make a routines to show off our learning. These routines had to be original, show creativity and good transition. Over the course of two weeks we used all our knowledge about jumps, balances and transitions to put together our ideas and create our routines.
Now you can view the finished product for yourself!
