P4 Skip-a-thon & Fundamentals
Primary Four started learning to skip in lots of different ways in anticipation of their Skip-a-thon fundraiser for Trocaire later in the month. There was two feet jump skipping, one foot skipping, alternate feet skipping, skipping forwards and backwards as well as skipping on the move. The class also focused on their tackling and striking skills at Fundamentals. These simple coordination, balance and target work activities really help children meet their physical development and academic milestones. They also enhance wellbeing and general fitness levels. Parents, please continue to work on these types of skills at home to enhance performance and concentration. Inclusion was definitely the name of the game as all had a fantastic time together!🌟
