Room 1 skipping

 Room 1 had our first skipping practise this year.  Some of the children are already able to skip confidently.

All the children were able to turn the rope and jump over it by the end of the session. 

We also drew a picture of ourselves skipping.  Note the way the children perceive the rope as they swing it.  We will be working on drawing our bodies and how they look during this term; trying to get away from the stick figure drawings.

The skipping was like we were doing a show. Adam
