Gymnastics Club!

showing off a handstand!

The gymnasts have been practicing routines, skills, and a warm up for the upcoming tumbling rally before school since January! The warm up is a song written and sung by Katy Perry called Firework and our creative routine is by One Direction called One Thing. Mrs. Ilchena made up the creative routine.  

These are the skills that we learned they went by different levels. Level 1 forward roll tuck and you show teacher the skill and if its good them you get a check mark and then when you get the whole level 1 done then you move on to the next level of the skill. There are three levels for each skill.

There were also optional skills like the splits and a back handspring. They are really hard but Amanda can do them all easily. To do the optional skills, you have to stay in at certain recesses to be approved by Ms. Rand or Mrs. Ilchena.

Here is part of the creative routine,
shared during the assembly.

Today at school we showed the grade 1s, 2s and 3s our routine before the grade 4s, 5s and 6s. We only showed the grade 1s, 2s and 3s some of the skills and showed none of them to the grade 4s, 5s and 6s because there was no time so we only showed the routine and the warm up.

On Thursday we are going to the Kildonan East School Gym. The reason we are going to the school is to see where to go because we are going that evening for the real tumbling rally to perform for parents, grandparents, and the whole family.
