Gymnastics Day 1

Gymnastics Day 1

Today our class walked down to the Christchurch School of Gymnastics. I was in the second group that got to go. The walk down took us about 20 till something minutes. When we got there we had to sit down and listen to the lady giving us instructions like we had to take off our shoes and socks and jackets. After she gave us our instructions we walked up the stairs and put our stuff down. When everyone had put their stuff down we went down the stairs where the mats and trampolines. We had to get into a line of 10 people. 

For my first activity we had to put our toes on blocks and walk with our feet still touching them and some of them you had to do a handstand and have your toes on the block and try move closer without moving your feet off the block. After about 10 or so mintues we went to another activity.

For our second activity we had to use bars. The lady gave us our instructions and then we had to do what she said. For the first one we had to put our knees up to our chest/how high you can go. And then when you had finished it you landed on this mat, so you wouldn't hurt yourself. Then we had to put our legs through this rope thing and face our butt backwards and it looked like you were sitting. There was another bar where you had to do another move. Then after that one there was ones with rings, and you could do any move you want. After you had completed it you had to do different moves. 

After we had finished that activity. We got to do beams. For the beams we had to walk across with our hands sticking out so if we fell off, we could protect ourselfs. There were three sets of beams big, medium and small. You had to start off on the big one. There were a few different ones you had to do like, backwards,kicking your legs up, normal walking etc. 

When had done that one we went onto these trampolines and do different moves. Like normal jumping, knee jumping and I don't remember. And after you had finished on the trampolines there were these block things that you had to do the same moves that you did the trampolines. 

For our last activity we got to on these big trampolines that went really high. We had to do all these different movements like spinning in a circle two times, doing these letter things and just normal jumping. We had two or three goes on the trampolines. 

When we had finished all our activites we went back upstairs and put our socks and shoes on along with our jackets. Then  we went outside and did the roll. After we did the roll we walked back to school.
