South Norfolk Gymnastics Competition

On Friday 10th January two teams from Fox Class took part in the South Norfolk Gymnastics competition at the Norfolk Academy of Gymnastics (TNAG).

In the morning the children were given guidance on their floor routine and vaults by the excellent coaches from TNAG. They were also coached on using TNAG's professional gymnastics equipment.

The children had a lot of fun improving their technique.

The competition starting after lunch with the vault event. The children were required to squat onto a bench, cross the bench on the balls on their feet (without wobbling) and perform a straight jump dismount.

The children were very precise in their movements and showed great body control.

The final event was the floor routine. Both Spooner Row teams delivered their best without any instruction. They were a real credit to themselves and the school.

The Spooner Row Koala team finished in third place overall.

Team Koala finished in third place overall and the Monkeys team finished in seventh place.

Thanks to South Norfolk School Games Coordinator Laura Goodswen for planning and delivering the event and to TNAG for providing the excellent coaches and facilities.

Thanks also to Mrs Jones for providing a taxi service and to Mrs Collishaw for her coaching support throughout the day.
