Fox Class has been working hard to prepare for the Norfolk School Games "virtual" Gymnastics Competition. Preparation was particularly challenging as we had to practice outside on the playground which was not ideal.   The whole class practiced a very challenging routine that had to include several mandatory balances and moves. The children demonstrated brilliant timing and precision as well as a great deal of determination. For the final performances we used the village hall. All the teams were filmed and two teams of six were selected to be forwarded to the School Games Organisers for judging. The results will be published here as soon as they are available.
