Gymnastics

In the last few weeks we have been having gymnastics at Nairnville recreation centre. I utterly hate gymnastics and I will to the day I die and even beyond that into the very end of time. In other words I hate gymnastics. I mean why can’t we please do sport? Just one day of sport? Please? Pretty please? “Hello kids were doing another day of gymnastics. It’s going to be so fun. First we have a beam thingy and this really fun ladder thingy……” Why? At least we only have one more week of gymnastics.

At gymnastics we have a warm-up game such as ship to shore or octopus. Then we do some stretches and get arranged in to three groups. Once we are in three groups each of the groups goes to a different stage in the three-stage circuit. At each circuit we do a number of activities relating to gymnastics. 

For each stage we have eleven minutes to practice the activities that are stationed there.

My favourite stage of the circuit is probably the teacher stage. I like the teacher stage because we often do a lot of things with ladders and the slide. The other two circuits usually have the rungs to do candle sticks, balance beams and the air-track.

Even though I disliked gymnastics I did improve in some of my areas of gymnastics such as forward rolls and candle sticks.
