Skipping to a healthier future

A year of practising tricks and skills has proved beneficial at the latest annual celebration of skipping.

Rushen Primary School hosted the event and invited four others to take part.

The event is run by the departments of health and education, supported by the Isle of Man Anti-Cancer Association, all of which have been promoting skipping as a healthy activity in schools.

Rushen head Tom Thomson says the youngsters have embraced the idea (audio file attached):
