Balancing Act!
In November and December the Bluebirds have been learning to balance in various ways. Let’s take a look at what we been learning at gymnastics:
Rope swinging encourages the children to develop strong muscles, learn balance skills, and become accustomed to heights.
Walking across mats is a great way to practice coordination and balance.
The Bluebirds practice walking upright on balance beams.
And crawling up balance beams….
Going across balance obstacle courses and rolling off round mats…
And just having fun!!
It has been very exciting to see the improvement in coordination skills since October when the Bluebirds first began gymnastics. They are practicing handstands with amazing strength. They run and somersault, fearlessly jump into the foam pit, and are increasing in agility. Yeah Bluebirds!
