Gymnastics: Session 4, Day 1

A lot of kids were having off days in gymnastics yesterday, but overall the group did a decent job.  They started off doing the obstacle course on floor and Peanut did awesome!  She rolled down the wedge mat in the tube, did back walkovers on the curved mat, did forward and backward rolls down another wedge mat, donkey kicks over french fry mats, and did the sack race jumping down the side.  She happily did that three times and would have kept going.

Then they went to bars.  She did everything they asked her to do, but she made some shrieking noises while she did it.  Forward roll on the first bar, holding herself up (with help) and kicking her legs up in pike on the parallel bars, and hanging and swinging on the high bar.  Then a cartwheel before starting again.  We went through almost three times.

After bars came beam.  The kids were supposed to either walk across the low beam and step over the pumpkins or hold onto parents hands and hop.  Peanut hopped okay but was very hesitant to walk over without help.  She did successfully complete the task a couple of times.  Then the kids were supposed to side step on the higher beam and Peanut did that okay although at times it turned into a bit of a shuffle.  Then they walked backwards across the second low beam.

From beam the group went to the trampoline.  Seat drops and safety stops and then we went to tumble track.  Peanut got two stamps at the end - a Happy Halloween stamp and a Happy Birthday one!
