The Skipping Club Doncaster Road Primary School

Mrs. Williams started the skipping club about two years ago and since then we have gone every Wednesday after school. We do all different exercises. The first one we do is jogging round a big square in the hall three times. Then we do others like jumping and waving. We play loads of games and the one we play most is cat and mouse. We play the game like this, you have to go in partners and one person catches the other while two people twists either ends. Another game we play is Throw the Dice where you have a large dice and throw it, then match the number it lands on to a card and then do that skip.

In the Autumn term Tom Davis of the skipping workshop came to the school to give some advice to our pupils. One of the games we played was the partner game where there are two people to hold the ends and two people in the middle that do as the song says. The song goes like this:

"Back to back,
Face to face,
Shake your partners hand and change your place"

We go to the skipping club to get fit and healthy in a fun way and it takes us away from sitting in the front of the television all day. It will help us in the present and the future.

Why don't you start to go and get fit ?!
