All the children have been busy practicing their skipping skills this week so that they could take part in the Virtual Skipping Challenge. In KS2 they had to perform 5 different skipping techniques – single bounce, double bounce, running skip, slalom and speed skipping. They found Dan the Skipping Man’s demonstrations very useful.
