This week, Year 2 took part in our Skipping School KS1 festival at Leeds Trinity University against four other Leeds schools.
The children have been learning lots of individual and group skipping skills and today it was great to see just how much the children have progressed.
All the class worked hard as a team to earn as many skips as possible in their events. Dexter’s 99 single bounce skips in 30 seconds certainly helped to contribute to our total!
After all the points (skips) were added up, the winning school was announced…
We were so excited and proud to hear we had won!
A huge well done to all the children for fantastic determination, resilience and team work. They have worked so hard by practising in PE, at lunchtime and playtime, at skipping after-school club and even at home!
The festival has been really fun. I feel happy.
I like it because I’ve learnt lots of different skips and people encouraged me.
I feel proud of my skipping.
This is the third year in a row our Year 2 classes have achieved this and we feel very proud of their success.
