KS1 GYMNASTICS FESTIVAL #1
On 30th November we held our KS1 Gymnastics Festival at Easton Gymnastics Club. This was an Develop themed event and was for pupils who enjoy friendly competition but don't want to solely focus on winning and losing, instead they focus on supporting pupils wider development of their physical, personal, emotional and social health. All Pupils received a participant certificate and the school games value celebrated for this event was Determination. All children were encouraged to display the school games values and fair play but each team nominated one pupil from their school who stood out the most for showing Determination School Games Value.
We had the following 8 schools attend our event:
- Lodge Lane
- Garrick Green
- Ghost Hill
- Arden Grove
- Heather Av
- Thomas Bullock
- Garvestone
- Reepham
The schools participated in 4 different gymnastic activities delivered by Easton gymnastics Gym coaches and from Taverham High School sports leaders, who were brilliant at supporting and encouraging the children to do their personal best. It was great to see 60 children involved in various activities and a great opportunity for the pupils to represent their school in a sports event. The pupils were active and improved across the day. Following on from todays event, we encourage schools to provide the children an opportunity to develop and improve their skills further by putting on clubs before/after school, break and lunchtimes as well as encourage the pupils to join a local community club to promote/grow skills wider in Norfolk.
