Gymnastics Festival

The B Grade Gym Festival was held at the Motueka Rec Centre on Friday 6th June. 14 schools from around the Tasman district took part. Motueka South School entered 14 teams which was more than any other school. The B grade competition is all about participation and having fun. Children have been practising their routines for about 4 weeks. The festival comprises of 10 exercises which includes both team events as well as individual events. Pupils demonstrated their skills on the cross vault, long vault, skipping, pyramid, beam, floor and mat agility (handstand against a wall) .We started off with a Jump Jam session run by our senior pupils to get us all warmed up before we began our exercises. Here you can see some of the Mot South pupils doing Jump Jam.

Thankyou to Ms dowell who organised this event for all the schools, she did a fantastic job!

Thankyou also to the teachers and parents who helped to prepare our teams!

What a lot of work that must have been. IT must have taken a lot of clever organisation to get all of those kids there doing their stuff.
