Skipping Day

To start off the afternoon, a special skipping teacher came into the school to teach the sports leaders different techniques on skipping. They started off by doing 1 bounce skips consistently. To follow up, they did double bounce skips. Once this was mastered, they were shown how to skip with a burpee included. The final and most challenging task of the day was…. how to step skipping and swapping ropes with another partner.

 This was taught to them so that they could teach the younger children, who play with them. ‘It was a lot of fun but some of them were challenging.’ Quoted by Eunice, Year 6.

It sounds like they had a great time and really enjoyed the challenges thrown at them!
