My Comic

Hi! Today I’m going to tell you a little bit about my comic book that I made for my language arts class. It all started when we started to read something called wisdom tales. Wisdom tales are short stories that teach you a life lesson. we were required to make a comic. book about one of them. I chose to do The Tiger’s Whisker. I’ll show you some pictures of it and you can read it.

My Mock Meet

A picture from one of our meets taken by another competitor

Hi everybody! Today I going to tell you a little bit about my mock meet.

Incase you are wondering what that even is, a mock meet is a gymnastics competition but, it’s not a real one. It is meant to show gymnasts how an actual meet will go.

In that mock meet I did 4 events. I did vault, bars, beam, and floor.

First off, in vault. In vault I did something called a half-on. A half-on is where I sprint 10 steps and then jump on a spring board to push my hands off of a table and land on the other side of the table.

Now I’m going to talk about bars. In bars, I do a pullover, double back-hip-circle, squat-on, jump to high bar, tap swing, half-turn. Don’t worry. I’ll explain what that is and attach a video. A pullover is where you are on a bar slightly higher than your height. You pull your chin up to the bar and swing your legs over the bar so that the bar is slightly lower than your hips and your holding yourself with your hands. A double back-hip-circle is where you do a cast which is where you push your hips off the bar and keep your hands on the bar and swing under the bar twice. A squat-on is where you push your hips of the bar and jump your feet onto the bar. After I do my squat-on, I jump to high bar by letting go of my hands on the lower bar and balancing on my feet. Then I jump off of that bar and catch the higher bar with my hands. Then I do tap swings. I just swing my body back and forth. Then I turn around and fall to end my bars routine.

Then I went to beam. I did my mount an did a balk-walk-over on the beam. It is where you are standing and then you reach your hands back as you bend your back and kick your legs over to stand back on them. Then I did a cartwheel. I did a split jump and then a full turn. I did a silver dismount which is where I do a handstand and land on the other side of the beam.

Last but not least, I did floor. On floor I did a full turn like on beam then I did my leap pass where I gallop and split in the air and then do a jump where I tuck my knees to my chest. Then I did my round-off-back-hand-spring where I do a cartwheel that sort of lifts you off the ground and then you jump back onto your hands and then land. then I did a front-hand-spring round-off where I run and flip while touching the floor with my hands and do a round off like before.

That’s it for this blog. Thanks for reading.
