Year 5 gym week

Year 5 are having their gym week this week, learning how to do a variety of indivudual, then paired balances before putting them into a sequence to perform.  So far we have practised the disk and arch balances and the front and back supports. This afternoon we even challenged ourselves with the shoulder stand!  We have been working hard on improving our core strength as this helps us to achieve and hold each balance.
