Year 4 Strength and Stamina

To be a successful gymnast, having both strength and stamina is important. That is why this week in gymnastics Year 4 are working these aspects of their fitness. Year 4 started by moving around the room continuously for 3 minutes, some chose  to run, some chose to gallop, and others skipped! This warm up really got their hearts pumping, everyone was out of breath afterwards.

Next the children worked in pairs to balance using each others strength and body weight. They came up with some excellent positions! As you can see, some look pretty difficult to hold! 

Beth from 4LC said "I think gymnastics is great because you get to try so many different stretches and balances!"
