We were delighted to welcome Coach Aoife back to our school for gymnastics during January and February this year.
Aoife has taught gymnastics skills to all classes every Monday over the course of these two months.
The improvements in pupils, strength, flexibility and co-ordination has been fantastic to see.
In addition to these skills, teamwork is so important during the formation of the “human pyramid” as can be seen in our gallery below.
Our pupils loved the high level of gymnastics on offer and we thank Aoife for providing fun and challenging sessions in a safe way. 😀
