Gymnastics at NHEHS

Written by Pheobe Woolliscroft

On a Wednesday lunch time in the sports hall there is a Year 7-9 gymnastics club In the club we do multiple types of gymnastics So far we have done: Acrobatic Floor and Vault (artistic) Mrs Scott is the sports teacher that runs the club with help from two super friendly Year 13's Carmel and Alice

So far, we have learnt multiple types of leaps, dynamic movements including handstand forward rolls, backward rolls, and walkovers, we have also learnt balance moves like handstand, headstands, splits and many more In my opinion the club is really fun

On Wednesday the 24th of November the Year 7-9 gymnastics club participated in a club championship 13 of us took part in the sports hall The competition consisted of a Floor competition and Vault competition On floor, you could choose between 3 routines - Bronze, Silver and Goldbased on your level of ability All routines contained dynamic and balance moves, some of these also needed flexibility

A big thank you for Carmel and Alice for all the help in setting up and for very fair judging
