You won’t want to miss this…skipping is all the rage at Provo Primary this term with children young and old skipping forwards, backwards, while running and turning.\u00a0 There\u2019s even Double Dutch and French Skipping \u2013 Ooh la la!\u00a0 With ropes circling at playtimes, lunchtimes and PE lessons, it\u2019s certainly creating lots of giggles and smiles while keeping the children active with hearts pumping and plenty of exercise.

\u201cIt\u2019s wonderful to see the children becoming more confident and to see them get better at it each time they try.\u00a0 There were some who felt they couldn\u2019t skip, but now, they are seeing that with practise and encouragement from their classmates and us teachers, they can do it!\u201d says PE teacher Miss Shara.\u00a0 \u201cJumping into a rope twirling at high speed is a little scary\u2026 it\u2019s all about timing and rhythm (along with some basic physics).\u00a0 It\u2019s about trying your best and not giving up.\u00a0 After a while, the children get better at it, it gets easier and they feel proud of themselves!\u201d<\/p>\n
How long this current craze will last is anybody\u2019s guess but with new tricks to learn, personal challenges to beat, we can be sure that there will be a whole lot of jumping up and down and plenty of fun for the whole school.<\/p>\n Skipping movies:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.provoprimaryblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/skipping-03-02-11.jpg\" "\\"skipping-03-02-11\\"")
