By Mia
The gymnastics competition was amazing and i really enjoy it. It was the first competition that the school has ever entered. There was four of us in the team ( Jordan Stevens, Mia Sexton, Jasmine Stevens and Ruby Edwards. ) Our team came 1st over all, so we won. I WAS REALLY NEVOUS ABOUT MY VOLUNTRY VALT, AND I WAS OVER CONFEDENCE ON BOTH MY TUMBELS. By Jordan Stevens On Tuesday I had great fun. The best part was the vault, it was wicked!!! At first I was a bit nervous, but then happy once I’d started by Ruby Edwards Gymnastics comp!!! I felt really scared about the competition. My favourite rotine in the competition was my voluntary tumble. I was very suprise that we came 1st. I really enjoyed the competition and I was glad to represent St . Nicholas school. by Jasmine Stevens Woo Hoo we came first! Four girls competed in a gymnastic competition and won. Their names are Jordan, Jasmine, Mia and Ruby, they are amazing. They practiced really hard and now they are hopefully representing Wales, Can you believe it they came first against 10 other bigger schools. by Emily Azzopardi GYMNASTIC COMPETION. by Olivia Rowlands MIA IN THE WELSH FINAL Today I had the school welsh final.

Now you might think that this is hardly any people, but let me tell you it's a lot. She started with a backwards work over, which was amazing. She also did a handspring onto a vault, a straddle, a floor routine and a flick on the bar. Her team came 5th overall. Report written by Jordon Stevens on her sister Jasmine |

by Mia Sexton
And also in gym on Saturday (MARCH 28TH 2009) I done on bars a giant, giant, backaway by myself!!And i done giants with the bottem bar in without the foam underneath my!!!! Both for the first time i had a great session
by Mia Sexton
In my gym training yesterday i had a really bad beam session my coach was really mean. But i went on to tumble and I had a amazing session because i done a full twist to land but on another i went flying across the pit! I then moved on to bars were i had a wicked session because I done my giant giant backaway again from when I done it on the first time on saturday I also done giants on the bar without the pit it was an amazing session on saturday and an alright session yesterday. See you tomorrow
In gym I am learning to do full twist to land on the floor. It is really hard to do because you have to do round off flic then a high straight back and when your in the air bring your arms in and do a twist all the way around to land without a wobble.
by Mia Sexton
Hi MrD, This is wat i done in gym
In gym today I wormed up and done compelx then done conditioning it was really hard it hurt my tummy muscles alot.
Then my groap moved on to tumble and started with tuck back then straight back then done twist. I done 5 full twists to land then moved on to bars.
On bars I done my giants on the bar without the pit again then I went down to where the pit is and peformed my giant, giant back away that I just learnt.
Then my coack asked if I wanted to try it without the pit and I said ok and I done it with her first then by myself after it felt like I was flying.

Then on bars I went down to do my giant,giant backaways again to focus on my shapes. On beam I peormed my flic to 1 flic to 2 to land.
by Mia Sexton
Today I had a long gym session. It was from 12-half 7! I done different apparatus like Beam , Bars, Tumble, Vault, Floor, Loops, Conditioning, Complex, Playing games and eating lunch. First of all we had a bit of fun and played games, We played a game were there was three different coloured bean bags and three people had them and had to try and hit the other people running around with the bean bags and the person who got the least people had to do press ups and sit ups and V sits. Then we played different types of ladders which at the end we done lying on our backs straight on to our fronts when we had finished that and then standing up for them to weave in and out then finally leap frog and on that bit i was in a groap with a girl who is 6 and it was hard to jump over her because she's really small. Then we done complex and started on our aparters. O beam I peformed my flic to 1 flic to 2. After a couple of pieces we all had lunch. Then we warmed up again and played the same games. Then we started again I done vault and then on floor I sorted out my new elaments in it.
Then I went back on to bars for the second time.
It was a tiring day.
And i'm back all week.

Today (JUNE 27TH) I had a Floor + Vault competition. It was really fun. From my club there was was loads of people from all different ages from 9-15. I had so much fun. My favourite bit was my floor when I landed my Full twist and didn't go out of the floor. My competition finished at about 10 o'clock and I stayed all day until half three in the spare time I ran around playing hide and seek with my friends and we were all sweaty. Then it was the presentations and overall my friend Charlotte who is 14 or 15 came 1st!! and her team (there wwas so many we had loads of teams separated, I was white she was green) came third!! but I don't know what I came yet. But I still ahd loads of fun.
