Sponsored Skip – Thursday 3rd July 2025

As part of Sports Week: Monday 30th June – Friday 4th July 2025

Theme: Fitness & Fun!

We are excited to announce our theme for this year’s Sports Week – Fitness & Fun! Throughout the week, all children will be taking part in a wide variety of exciting, energetic activities including circuit fitness, ultimate frisbee, and a daily skipping challenge to promote health, movement and teamwork.

As a highlight of the week, we will be holding a Sponsored Skip on Thursday 3rd July. This year’s event will see each class working together to reach a whole-class skipping target – a set number of skips to be completed within a given time. Throughout the day, children will take part in three skipping sessions, working in pairs to count one another’s skips. After each session, they will record their individual totals, which will then be combined to calculate their personal score. At the end of the day, all individual scores will be added together to create a class total. The event aims to promote both personal challenge and teamwork as pupils strive to reach a shared goal.

Why are we raising money?

The money raised from the Sponsored Skip will go directly towards purchasing new outdoor play equipment, which has been requested by pupils through our School Council. This will enhance playtimes and ensure our outdoor spaces are engaging, active and inclusive for all.

How can you help?

· Help your child gather sponsors – either per skip or as a set amount for taking part.

· Encourage your child to practise skipping in the run-up to the event.

· Please send all sponsorship money into school by Wednesday 9th July, ready for our Skip-tacular Celebration on Monday 14th July.

To mark their incredible efforts, we’ll be hosting a Skip-tacular Celebration, where children’s achievements and fundraising milestones will be recognised with certificates and skipping-themed prizes.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. Let’s jump into action and make this a fun-filled week that helps our playground dreams come true!

Warm regards

Mrs Grainger & Mr Budge
