Belgian Gardens state school in Townsville has banned students from "unsupervised gymnastics" in the playground. This includes cartwheels, handstands, headstands and somersaults.

The ban came to light after parent Kylie Buschgens went to the media. Her 10 year old daughter Cali (and her friend) were reprimanded. Kylie is furious; she says the school isn't letting kids be kids.

Queensland Premier Anna Bligh has spoken out to say she supports the school's right to make its own rules.

Sunrise parenting expert Michael Carr-Gregg describes the ruling as 'bowing down to the altar of occupational health and safety'. He says it's another example of how we're wrapping kids up in cotton wool and things like this stop kids from experiencing the ups and downs of life.
