Grades competitions
Well done to our gymnasts who took part in grades in February. We had 3 gymnasts achieve ‘working above’ in their grade (Hattie, Ella and Betty) and 3 achieve working beyond (Abi, Abigail and Ava). Well done girls, we are very proud of you all for the hard work and dedication involved. There are some pictures on the Facebook group now. Sophie, Violet and Jess took part in the Wire’s Teddies and Tiaras competition on 25th February. This is to prepare them for the NW competition at the end of March. They did really well, all receiving a bar award. In addition, Jess also got awards for beam, floor, vault and range and conditioning. Violet also won the beam artistry award for the round and awards on vault and range and conditioning.
