Term 3 Jump Rope

For the first three weeks of term, our PE focus will be Jump Rope skills and games. The lower students will begin with jumping games and the basics of jumping/turning a rope. As we progress to the upper grades they will have an opportunity to try more advanced tricks like the Criss Cross, 180, 360 or Double Under.

Skipping provides and excellent opportunity to exercise by yourself, with a partner or in a small group of friends. The focus is always about effort, personal improvement and cooperation, with the added bonus of learning a few tricks along the way. I’m so impressed with how motivated our students have been to learn some knew jump rope skills.

We are going to celebrate the end of the unit on Thursday 13th of August. All students are invited to wear red and bring along a donation to help support the Heart Foundation. Keep up the great work, be creative and have fun!
