Shall I sit it out? by Sameera

Skipping for Heart Health

Every year G.I.S  is always invited to skip and perform their Jump Rope routines. This year was nerve racking, my heart was beating as fast as a cheetah. Every single class had their moves and songs to show off.

The confidence that we all took on the performing stage, was encouraging. My favourite performance was all of the classes but the best one that stood out was Rm10.  Why? Because they were all participating. The people were cheering and shouting their names and although sometimes it could get a little bit embarrassing it was still awesome.

The purpose of doing skipping is to keep

• Fit
• Active
• your heart pumping

So guess what it hit the point when it was my class to skip, nerve racking, much. Some part of me wanted to skip and then the other side of me wanted to just sit out, but then I didn't want to let my class or school down. As we skipped to the song I got happy because the people were cheering and people were having fun watching us so I just went with the flow and it was fun.

 

Skipping with Glen Innes by Moko

Last week Glen Innes school went down GI for jump rope for heart. Room 1 was first up and Mrs Manu had to blow the whistle for room 1 to get in their places. Next up was room 2. When room 2 were skipping they were smiling at their parents. The parents were taking videos of their kids and the whole class.
Next up is room 3 they were nervous. They didn't won't to go and skip. After that room 3 was skipping and they were excited when they were enjoying the fun. Room 4 was skipping and they were so happy to skip they were not scared they were just happy for their family to video shoot them on their phone.

When room 8 went on, Mrs Barry's grandson was awesome because he was skipping very well.
Every one in room 8 was ready for skipping. Room 9 was awesome because they were doing forward backward cross double landers properly. Room 10 was so scared because they thought they might do something wrong so they felt  embarrassed. When it came to room 11 they were  excited and Shilo was the tallest in the class. He was jumping so so high. Finally room 12 the sports class went to do their skipping. We were scared too and when we were skipping Mrs Barry was blowing the  whistle.

MRS Barry was blowing the horn for side to side. Then 5 or 10 seconds later she blew the whistle again for us to change our skipping jump.
