  Skip 'N' Rope


Check out what Second Class have to say about their skipping session!
A while ago our class took part in a skipping session with a group called Skip 'N' Rope.

We were taught how to skip in lots of different ways and were shown some really good skipping games.

There was a small exhibition at the end of our day, where we showed off our new skills to First and Second Classes.

Thank you to all who were involved.

Skipping Workshop

On Friday 6th February we took part in a Skipping Workshop with a coach called Mark. We all went over to the hall, where Mark taught us all sorts of complicated skipping, for individual, pairs and groups. It was brilliant. In the afternoon we went back over to watch the exhibition. Every class who had taken part was there. A few people from each class took part in the exhibition. Chloe Caudilla, Aleen and Chloe Collins represented our class. The exhibition was fantastic. We loved the workshop.

YOGA

We love our YOGA classes in St Clares!
 Check out what Ella from 5th class has to say about her yoga class!

Yoga

On Monday the third of November 2014 my class and I did yoga. We did it for half an hour and it was great fun. We lay on mats and breathed in and out to it. There were candles lit and they smelt lovely. We did a bridge position on our mats. A bridge position is where you put your hands back on the mat and bend over your back. When we did the bridge position we could feel it in our legs and back. We also had to lie down on the mats and try and get up without bending our knees. Did you know that from a new born baby to any age can do yoga? So everyone in the world can do yoga. The class loved yoga because it’s a relaxing time for you and it’s also very good for the body. We can’t wait to do it again!
