Testimonials:

Thank you Georgia, the children and adults have had a wonderful day, and the comments from everyone have been brilliant.

Thanks Nicola for coming in and giving the children something fun to do. The workshops were great as usual. We’d love to buy more ropes to capitalise on their enthusiasm.

It was a great day! We really enjoyed the variety of skipping challenges throughout the day. It was excellent how Lizzie adapted the activities to suit the age groups and all the children were able to feel that they were making progress as well as having fun! The teaching points were really clear and those who have previously struggled with skipping were able to succeed and feel more determined to keep trying. Thank you again!

We had a fantastic week last week and all staff have commented on how brilliant the sessions were – Mary engaged all of our pupils from Reception to Year 6 and it has left a definite skipping buzz at our school. This week we’ve seen so many children using skipping ropes on the playground and playing different skipping games. One Year 2 pupil said, “Skipping was amazing but it was challenging. I loved playing the shark attack skipping game and I didn’t get caught!”

Thank you for the excellent skipping workshops we had this week with Mary – the children were all thoroughly enthused and you’ve started a new craze on the playground!

Just wanted to say thank you so much for the skipping workshops.

Mary was great and I’ve had lots of positive feedback from the adults and children!

I just wanted to pass on a further thank you for Lizzie’s fantastic skipping workshops at Trinity last week.

These were thoroughly enjoyed by both children and staff and I have had such positive feedback from those involved.

Best wishes,  Megan.

Thank you so much to Lizzie for coming to our school – the children have been buzzing about it since!

For me, the impact I have seen is I love seeing the children excited about the equipment they have outside in the playground and are now using the ropes in the intended way! I love seeing them practicing their skills and developing their confidence in trying something new and active. It has definitely improved the behaviour on the playground as well!

Best wishes, Sophie

What a fabulous skipping workshop day we had with Jamie yesterday. The children enjoyed the day and it has inspired them (and their parents and teachers) to take up skipping!

Jamie was fantastic. She pitched all the workshops well and had good control over the children. She was friendly, enthusiastic and quickly developed a positive relationship with the children.
Thank you so much. We shall definitely be booking up a follow-up!

Children at Northway Primary truly enjoyed their day with Anthony. He was very knowledgable, charismatic and engaging.

Once again thank you for coming to the IOW and enthusing our children with their skipping. They were all raving about it!

Just wanted to say a BIG thank you again for today. The children had a great time and were clearly inspired!

The energetic staff training was enjoyed by all who were then fully enthused to support the children in their workshops a fortnight later. We were fortunate that Skipping Workshops could provide us immediately with a rope for all children. We had much fun participating in National Skipping Day and the children took the ropes home that day. One Year 2 boy, before the holiday, said that he wasn’t going to play as much on his ipad because he wanted to skip outside. Thank you Skipping Workshops in helping us promote a healthy lifestyle.

We had a fabulous day doing National Skipping Day. We did data collection in mathematics lessons and presented the data for a display. All the children loved it.

Many thanks for such an enjoyable day! The children loved it!

Brilliant! Thank you once again for a successful day! Year 6 loved it!

Thanks very much for organising the skipping day with Jamie – it was a resounding success! She was great with all the year groups and had the children focused, motivated and coached them brilliantly. Really got the children engaged and by last break time I would estimate at least 3/4 of the school were out skipping on the playground. Would be great to get you in again next September.
