23.01.2022 After months of lockdown, it's time to get our kids moving! Recreational Gymnastics is a fantastic way to get back into sport - We develop strength, balance, agility, co-ordination, flexibility, resilience, and so much more.

We are a small locally owned facility, purpose built for Recreational Gymnastics and KinderGym, with years of experience. Check out https://www.movingmonkeys.com.au for more information. With current COVID restrictions, all timeslots are capped at a maximum of 10 participants with a 15 minute break between classes for cleaning, limited spaces remain so be quick!

19.01.2022 A few last minute older siblings attended yesterdays session, it went so well that we've decided to open the 5 hr sessions to kids starting Grade 1 this year as well. Book online while there's still space (some spots remain for this Thursday) - https://www.movingmonkeys.com.au/events Yesterday we worked on our agility and strength with gymnastics based obstacle courses, built with lego and wooden trains during free time, played a human size version of snakes and ladders, got lost in the foam pit, got messy making playdoh from scratch and creating playdoh creatures to take home, sent lego men down a water slide (plastic gutter ) and learnt about mixing primary colours to make other colours!
