GEMINI GYMNASTICS CLUB

Our Hedgehogs class is aimed at children who are starting school the next school year.

Like our Bumblebees class they are still using the fantastic circuits but working on getting their skills ready for afterschool gymnastics and working on independence and social skills with their peers, which will help them to excel when they start school.

Each session will have a slightly more technical element to each circuit in comparison to the parent and tot class, in which they will carry out fundamental gymnastics skills more independently. The children will also discover more "BIG GYMNAST" equipment as the school year carries on, which they find really exciting and also prepares them as to what our afterschool classes are like.

Children are welcome to come here to learn and have fun - it is our aim to make it an enjoyable experience for all. Within a safe, structured and supervised environment and through the use of movement, music and apparatus, our aims are for your children to:

- have fun in a happy and friendly atmosphere -

- develop important social, physical and educational skills -

- create opportunities to experiment -

- channel their energies in the right direction -

- provide challenges to enable them to achieve and improve -

- encourage participation in our award scheme -

Sessions

A Hedgehog pre-school session lasts 60 minutes and would be as follows:

- 10 min warm up with hand equipment and/or games, followed by a stretch. 

- Minimum of 10 min on each of 3 stations of equipment - high / low beams, trampette, trampoline, vaulting horse, ladders, slides -

- 5 min cool down of stretches, gymnastics shapes.

with the extra 15 minutes we also work longer on perfecting foundational skills such as shapes, skipping, hopping or visit a singular "BIG GYMNAST" apparatus.

This is a Child only class, Parents can relax in the reception area watching the class through our TV's. Please make sure children are dressed in suitable sports clothing.
