Jump Rope Afternoon

On Wednesday the 11th of June the children of Bradford School participated in a Jump Rope Afternoon. This was part of a fundraiser for the Heart Foundation. We had some year 5 and 6 children who were leaders. There were 10 different stations that had different skips such as long rope, partner skips, show off, roll a dice, and a station that had chalk to draw yourself skipping and write what you liked about a skip.


It went from 1:35 till 2:50.


Here is a group that is doing show off. In show off you could make up a routine then show it to your group.
The 5 year olds got to choose a skip that was easy for them and the leaders helped them.
The older kids were allowed to choose a skip they know or learn a different skip that they don't know. We have been learning lots of skips at P.E. with Mrs Brown.Some kids have raised 15 dollars so they will get an electric skipping rope and a flyer and if you raise 5 dollars you get a flyer.



We moved all around the activities but we missed 1 activity.
To move around a station everyone had to wait for one of the teachers to ring the bell. Each person had to stay with their leaders. There were 2 leaders at each group.
