Pupils from Logie Primary School have spent the past few weeks practising their skipping skills in preparation for a “Jump Off” due to be held tomorrow, Thursday 17^th March.

In the lead up to the event, children have learnt a variety of games and tricks using the colourful ropes and activity cards provided by the British Heart Foundation.  It is hoped that the Jump Off itself, which will involve the whole school, will raise money for the British Heart Foundation as well as being great fun and getting everybody’s heart beating a little bit faster!

Local Active Schools Co-ordinator, Jo Kirkman said, “I have been visiting the school at lunchtimes to help the children perfect their skipping skills.  I have been really impressed by the pupils’ enthusiasm - its great to see pupils from P1 to P7 working together, trying out new tricks and skills and getting active.  I am sure that skipping will continue to be a popular playtime activity after the Jump Off has taken place”.
