Competition sessions

Rachel was fantastic and so patient with all of the children in Key Stage One. The children thoroughly enjoyed the hour session and were keen to do more skipping. They loved the double Dutch skipping and have requested for it to be in the play ground at lunchtime. It made us realise that we need to be more proactive with teaching the skill of skipping in our PE lessons and the school invested in new skipping ropes too. Thank you!

We had a fabulous day here at Hanbury C. of E. First School when Jump Rope UK came to visit us. The children had lots of fun, with some even skipping for the very first time! They skipped forwards, backwards and even under a very long rope! Rachael and Loren ensured that the day ran smoothly and were flexible with last minute changes. Great communication, we would definitely have Jump Rope UK come into to our school again, thank you.

On behalf of everybody at Birchills Academy I would like to say a huge thank you to Jump Rope UK. In particular Rachael, who led some really enjoyable sessions. Both children and staff have commented on how organised and fun the sessions were. Not only did the children learn some new skills, they also had the opportunity to observe Rachael showing off some of her skills; which I must say were highly impressive. This is the fourth year we have used Jump Rope UK and once again we were not disappointed.

Encouraging children to be active during break times is so important, so we invited Rachael into school to demonstrate the fun you can have through skipping. Each class from nursery to Year 6 took part in a 20 minute workshop where the children could try different skills. The children left wanting more! We wondered if the children, boys and girls, would take their enthusiasm into playtimes. They most certainly have. Thank you Rachael for starting our “Skipping Revolution”
