Gym For Isabelle

I attended a free trial lesson at the Gymnademics with Isabelle in February and had signed up for their classes, with the hope that more physical activities with our girl would help in her motor skills and physical development, as she appeared a little slow in this aspect.

The class started first with flash cards showing a group of words, followed by the instructor reading out bits of knowledge on the topic.  Then, there was the music appreciation part, where there was singing accompanied by flashing the lyrics on cards, and also exposing the children to the keyboard and the notes.

In every lesson, the babies would practise hanging on a bar that was attached to the wall.  Isabelle did not like this activity much.  She would start to fuss once she was brought to the bar.

Next, we would go out on the exercise mats and do some balance activities with our babes.  Isabelle really liked these as she would get to swirl around in the air.  After the balancing exercises, the babies were allowed to practise crawling on the ground or through their 'hurdles'.

The class would end with the Chinese part of the flashcards and singing, if the Chinese teacher was around.
