This week in PE, the children have been practising their skipping skills. They began by learning how to move the skipping rope in a circular motion, helping them understand the momentum needed to swing the rope over their heads. Once they had mastered this action, they moved on to jumping over the rope. As a challenge, the children were asked to see how many jumps they could complete before stopping.
The children then worked in pairs, with one child turning the rope while both attempted to jump together. This was a tricky task for some, but everyone tried incredibly hard. It was wonderful to see so many children achieve a few successful jumps without stopping — a fantastic accomplishment.
At Broadford, we celebrate marvellous mistakes, and we know that trying hard and practising will always help the children become successful — even in skipping!
