Our Y5/6 Gymnastics A team came within a mere 0.05 points of becoming District Champions today; in an incredibly tight and high-quality competition at The Urban Factory. Ultimately, we claimed brilliant District team silver medals, while Hugo earned a wonderful individual bronze medal as we successfully featured on both podiums.

 

This was the first time we had developed a St. Bede’s Y5/6 Gymnastics team and despite some unfortunate injuries, we all believed our determined squad could really challenge for the District title.

 

In training, our gymnasts enthusiastically created imaginative routines that included a variety of skills, travels, leaps and spins.  Today everyone showed great courage and composure to perform so well in front of the four judges. Personally, I watched on in awe as our children showcased their inspiring abilities- I was so proud of you all!

 

It was wonderful to see the team spirit among our children as they all supported each other throughout. As well as competing, all of our gymnasts enjoyed exploring a variety of fun activities at the brilliant Urban factory.

 

Thank you to our fantastic parent helper who  encouraged our children during the event. Thank you also to the parents, who practised the routine with their children at home – they all did so well today!
