Event - Pupils Excel at Gym Festival

8 October 2009

On Thursday 8th October Joseph Chamberlain Sports Centre was buzzing with balances, shapes and rolls! Pupils from Clifton joined with those from, Christ Church Colebourne, Percy Shurmer and Calthorpe got together to learn some new gymnastic skills and showcase these.

The morning started with Wake up Shake up and some stretches led by St Albans Secondary School Sports Leaders. The year 3 and 4 pupils were then put through their paces learning new balances, shapes and rolls ready for their challenge. The task was to perform a sequence containing a roll, two balances and two shapes; all linked by different ways of travelling.

The pupils ended the Festival by performing their sequence, all of which were greeted with smiles and lots of clapping. Medals and certificates for everyone!


Clifton pupils limber up for the task ahead.
