Old school masterclass

GYMNASTICS Youngsters from St Philips School were given an oldschool gymnastics masterclass by Culverhay deputy headteacher SeanTurner last week.

The 28 Year 6 pupils benefited from Turner's 20 years ofexperience in a one-hour session that consisted of balancing andvaulting, together with work on other apparatus, including thehorse.

"As a trainee teacher you only get about two hours of gymtraining throughout the four-year course, so seeing Sean teach thislesson was invaluable for me," said Year 6 class teacher Jo Coppins.

"I can now go back to school and give them some useful tips andadvice.

The Year 6 pupils loved the session, it was a real eye-opener forthem."

Culverhay hope to put on more sessions for St Philips and itsother partner primary schools in the future.
