Skipping fit
1:56pm Thursday 28th February 2008 in Chard By Joanna Glover
YOUNGSTERS at Avishayes Primary School in Chard enjoyed some hearty exercise today (Thursday) as part of a skipping workshop.
The year five and six pupils were shown basic one rope skipping as well as crossovers and Double Dutch.
Dave Westcott from the Skipping Workshop, said: "We want to show children that skipping is a good thing to do.
"We teach them the basic skills and they can take it into the playground and in their free time.
"It's a good form of exercise and helps keep them active."
