What an awesome week it was!!!  The last week of AUgust was Book Week at Club Dynamite for our Gymstar kids!  

Our gymnasts came to class dressed in costumes, based on characters from favourite books, we had a blast transforming into new characters for the week.

Classes began with a fun warm up based on the book "How the Grinch stole Christmas" by Doctor Seus.  The gymnasts fraced to help save Christmas and recover all the presents from the Grinches cave.

Each of our circuits was based on a popular book. 

We journeyed through "A bugs life",  squishing the grasshopper as we jumped on trampoline, tiptoeing over the bugs on the high beams and jumping over the spiders on the low beams.  Then we looked at "Finding Nemo" and went on an under the sea advanture, hopping over sea creatures on the low beam, using an octupus to lift higher in our releve and trying not to fall in the ociean from the high beam.

We adventured through "Toy story" doing activities like swings on bars, forward rolls, backward rolls and log rolls with toys between our feet and knees.

Finally we explored "The jungle book",  as we did our pullovers, casts and beat swings with the monkey's, zigzag jumped over the catterpillars and cartwheeled between the snakes.

On top of all of our book week advantures we practiced our trampoline skills, vault and bridges and completed our testing on backward rolls and cartwheels.  Just another busdy week in the gym!

We can't wait until our next dress up week in October for Halloween!
