Week 20

This week we pulled out the low level gymnastics equipment as well as the Canadian Climber. Students reviewed safety rules, practiced safe climbing, descending, jumping and landing. Most students also presented their gymnastics routines. The checklist they were assessed against was shared in week 18's post, and students will be bringing home a photocopy of their plan and their assessment. I aim to have all assessments sent home prior to the family day long weekend. Also, students will be uploading a video of their routine to IRIS in the coming weeks, so please keep an eye open for that.

When discussing learning in gymnastics, here are some questions you can ask to spark discussion with your child:
- Why do we do gymnastics? What are some of the benefits?
- If you were to design your routine again, what would you do differently?
- How do you climb and descend safely?
- Tell me about your favorite/least favorite part of gymnastics.
