Skip2bfit!

On Tuesday 15th we have a Skip2bfit coach coming to school to carry out some skipping workshops with Years 1-6. Skip2bfit is different from any other type of skipping as it uses counting ropes! These 30 minute workshops will be fun with timed challenges and upbeat music to skip to! We will then be using Skip2bfit alongside the Daily Mile and the children will try to beat the number of steps they can do each week! Excitedly, Skip2bfit are going to be leaving ropes for you to buy to take home! These are priced at £8 and will be available from the Music studio doors after school Wednesday-Friday next week.
