To celebrate, we got these 10 photos from the Echo archives and they all show competitors in the annual Sunderland School Skipping Finals.
We have scenes from 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015. St Paul’s Primary Skipping Stars, Albany All Stars, Team Lambton and Burnside Skipping Team were just some of the competitors over the years and we have 10 reminders for you to enjoy.
Take a look and see if you can spot someone you know.
