Cylinder Jumping at the Gym

Room 22 went to the Christchurch School of Gymnastics every Wednesday for a few weeks. For this activity we had to be able to jump very high with straight legs off the beat board and land inside the cylinder. This skill is really hard because you have to be able to jump high and at the right distance. I scored a high of 4 in my test and a low of 3 in handstands.

For this skill you need balance and concentration.
You need to bend your knees,  lean forward and
watch the ball then chuck it back hard and hope
they can't catch it. For each activity you get a mark.
My highest was 4+ my lowest was 4-. Emily
