Level 1

Level 1 is designed for children in Reception and Year 1.

The Level 1 class maintains the same philosophy as in the Koalas class in which the physical development of the child, along with their personal and social development, the development of their language and communication and understanding of basic mathematics is achieved through the discipline of gymnastics.

Children are taken onto three to four apparatus each week, where the instructor teaches basic gymnastics skills, body control such as gross motor skills, co-ordination and balance, developing their confidence. Skills in this class are progressions from those taught in the Koalas and multiple techniques and body movements are combined to form new, more complicated skills that require more balance, strength, flexibility and co-ordination. Although a hands-on approach will still be taken in order for the individual to progress to more advanced skills, children will now also be encouraged to perform basic skills independently.
