Skipping Day with skip-hop
12th and 13th October 2011
Dear Parents,
I am delighted to inform you that we have invited skip-hop for two days of skipping on the 12th and 13th October 2011. Every child has the opportunity to take part in one of the workshops that are taking place throughout the two days in which they will learn a selection of moves, including individual moves, double-dutch, long rope, and partner skipping. The second day culminates with a demonstration of skipping skills performed by children chosen from each workshop.
The school is requesting a contribution of €2.50 per child and we are hoping that all the children will wish to participate in this exciting one-off event. Skip-hop has presented demonstrations to over 2,500 schools throughout the UK and Ireland, China and South America. Their aim is to encourage children and adults to skip for health, fun and fitness, whilst introducing traditional skipping games back into the school playground. The school supports these aims wholeheartedly. Further information can be obtained from their web site www.skip-hop.co.uk
