Children in the Foundation Stage were very enthusiastic to learn how to skip in preparation for National skipping Day 2020. First of all they learned how to hold the rope, then practised lifting it over their head and finally jumping over. Lots of extra skills were included to develop skipping including jumping using a ladder rope and in and out of a hoop. Everybody persevered!
 
Jacob, “It so hard and my arms is hurting but I nearly did one!”
 
Rosie, “My arms go right round now and before the rope got stuck!”
 
All these skills help to develop arm and shoulder muscles ready for writing too. A great action packed afternoon.
