Skip Around the World
Knockskeagh NS is proud of being recognised as an Active School.
This week every class in our school has engaged with the Skip Around the World initiative which will continue for the next 2 weeks.
Here, each class incorporates a skipping movement break into their day, each skip = 1km. Each class will aim to reach many of the world’s most famous locations by combining their skips.
Stay tuned for progress in the coming weeks!!
Movement between lessons can have a hugely positive impact on learning,
helping children to:
- Adjust energy levels
- Restore concentration
- Self regulate emotions
