On Friday 21st June we will be holding Jumping June to raise money for the Heart Foundation. Students will take part in skipping based activities throughout the day and there will be a sausage sizzle, where all proceeds will go to the Heart Foundation.
On the day please wear shoes and you can dress up in red colours if you wish. In preparation before the event day, classes will be practising the skipping skills with our new skipping ropes all supplied from Jumping June. More information on the sausage sizzle to come.
