After some time spent refining and polishing the routines they were presented to the judges who awarded points according to a scoring criteria.

Each participant gained points for their school house and it looked like the children had lots of fun performing and watching each other. Well done Year 5 and Mrs Castle for taking on organising all 60 Year 5 children in this fantastic Intra House Competition.

The overall points after a close competition were:

Today the Year 1 children in Class 4 participated in a class gymnastics competition, showcasing all of the skills and knowledge that they have learnt in their work with Miss Ballinger this term. I was really impressed to see your hard work  and creativity in compiling and presenting your routines.

The children worked as a group, choosing 2 children to represent their group. The other children then acted as judges, giving scores for: control, links, movements and shapes. Each routine contained a roll, jump, balance and up to 3 more elements selected by the gymnasts themselves.

It was an extremely close and the results of the Class 3 gymnastics competition were:

1st place: Rainbows

3rd place: Class Royal and Crazy Crocs

4th place: Stars

Well done to Rainbows: Felicity, Bella, Ines, Chloe and Youseff.
