'So it's worth the $80+ a term?

Yep, definitely! I can tell she loves it and looks forward to it every week! Although when the holidays roll around I'm not quite so sure..because I have to put up with two weeks of explaining her that it's closed because of school holidays and we can go back *this* day. LOL.

Do you think you'll take them back?

I wasn't 100% sure how DD2 would go but she loved it just as much as DD1.

DD1 spotted the ropes and was off like a rocket - one of the 'teachers' was watching her when she said she wanted to get on it herself. M told her she probably wouldn't reach (and as she's never done gymnastics before) and she didn't think she would get on.... low and behold Miss A put her hands as high as she could on the rope, jumped up, linked her legs around the bottom of the rope, lifted her arms again and then pulled the rest of herself up.

She climbed onto the highest balance beam on her own and proceeded to walk the entire length not allowing anyone beside her, the other teacher asked if she had done gymnastics before and when i said no she commented she had great balance and upper body strength.

DD2 tried the balance beams but had to hold my hand and then she did the floor one on her own a couple of times once she'd figured it out.
She enjoyed the rings and the uneven bars - she's part monkey so she loved swinging off them.

They got 10min free play at the start then they had a game, free play again and then another game and then they have a sticker book or something they complete.

Needless to say i had to get video of the girls to send to daddy (anyone on my FB it's uploaded there) - Miss A climbing the rope, jumping onto the rings bar (cos doing it like everyone else would be boring right ) and Miss Z swinging on the rings bar.

So they didn't stop talking about it last night and it looks like i'm up for a coll $300 next week to get them insured & enrolled but they love it so i can't complain.

Monday - Kinder, Tues - Gymnastics, Wed - Swimming, Thurs - OFF, Fri - Kinder - hmm going to be VERY busy i think.
