KS2 Gymnastics!

The KS2 gymnasts have been busy practicing their handstands this week. They spent some time working on the basic shapes and how to stretch all the muscles in their bodies before trying to turn this upside down and balance on their hands. It is harder than it looks!

The girls showed great resilience as they practiced, improving on each attempt. "You really have to keep your arms straight" said Martina as she tried to perfect her handstand. Sophia showed great control of her body as she worked on her handstand. "I had trouble coming down from my handstand but I can do it now!"
