Running on the spot

Amber Valley SSP have teamed up with Dan the Skipping Man to provide a programme of Skipping awards for students in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2!

Skipping is a fantastic activity to support the development of gross and fine motor skills as well as providing a fun, accessible exercise and a whole body workout.

Each week will see a new skipping skill with children having the chance to follow instructional videos to learn the skill, practice it and try to achieve Bronze, Silver and Gold awards for each skill!

To achieve each award all you need to do is learn the skipping skill and skip continuously for the time given in the video (the time changes depending on your age and award level). If you can do it without making a mistake you have achieved your award! Start with Bronze and then move onto Silver and then Gold.
