Glen Innes School have been practising their skipping routines really hard before heading off to Glen Innes Shopping Centre to perform on Thursday the 27th of June. The children marched down to Glen Innes shopping centre. Most of the children were nervous but they were excited at the same time.

Mr. Naidoo and some helpers already set up the place. The children sat down around a big square looking very delighted. There was already a whole crowd of parents standing around looking at all the children.  Mr. Naidoo told everyone that they will be overwhelmed by the skipping skills of the children. Britney from room 11 was the MC for the day. She was pretty good.

Each class chose a music for their routine.  There was a variety of music played and it was very entertaining. Some parents were dancing to the music too. The children displayed great skipping skills and most people were amazed.

Everyone was cheering and screaming. So Mr.Naidoo was right, everyone was really impressed and wanted to see it again, but it was all over. The adults also had a chance to skip with their children at the end. One parent got the prize for being the best skipper. The children of Glen Innes School said, they will be performing at the same time next year.
