Why be a dinosaur or a fairy at gymnastics anyway? Pretend play and development go hand in hand. Pretend play or role playing is a vital part of children’s learning. It develops abstract thought, language & mathematical concepts and allows children to explore relationships.  Most importantly, it provides an opportunity for children to explore who they are and what they can be in their world, in a safe, playful way. Being a big, stomping, scary dinosaur – even for just a class or two – allows children to explore what it feels like to be strong, loud and powerful! At Jnr Gym Kids w ..read more

Who’s ready for a roaring great time with our Dinosaur theme? Being a big, strong dinosaur – even for just a class – allows us to explore some great powerful play at gymnastics.

The colder weather is bringing a Winter Wonderland to Jnr Gym Kids with our timely winter theme! Our winter theme will see our little ones focusing on holding their snow ball tuck shape all over the gym as we explore & build on a wide range of movement.

At Jnr Gym Kids we call our tuck shape our tap tap tuck to reinforce holding one hand on each shin without crossing arms over.  This encourages core, thigh and arm muscles to work to hold the shape ..read more

We love this blog by Anne Josephson, owner of JAG Gym in the US about letting kids own their sporting experience.
