Week beginning – 15 April 2020

P.E.

(30-45 mins per day)

Wednesday

Warm-up

Stretch the following muscles

• Lower back
• Hips
• Inner thighs 

Marble Tube Targets
Use an empty paper towel tube and one marble to roll and hit as many targets as possible.
Spread out a bunch of different targets around the floor. Pick a spot to roll from and when you hit a target with the marble collect and add it to your pile.
Alternatively, if you don’t have a marble at home, you could find something in your house such as a small bouncy ball, or any type of small round object that can be fit through a paper towel tube.

Different ways to play:

• time yourself to see how long it takes to collect all targets
• take turns with a partner
• add another tube and marble and play against a partner
• play with one partner having their eyes closed and the other partner talking to them, to aim at targets
• use dice instead of a marble to make the rolls more random and unpredictable

Thursday

Fitness Circuit - after each activity have a 30 sec break. After completing all four activities, allow a one minute break. Try and complete four cycles.

• Cycle legs - lay on the floor on your back and pretend to ride your bike. Hint, hold your tummy muscles tight! Cycle your legs for 30sec.
• Superman - lay on the floor on your tummy, keeping your legs together and arms straight on the ground in front of your head (like superman flying), then gently lift your arms and legs about 10cm off the ground and hold for 20sec.
• High knees - Stand up tall, bend your elbows and place your hands out at waist height, then alternate lifting your knees up to each hand. Continue for 30sec.
• Plank - hold your body horizontal to the ground by resting your toes and elbows on the ground. Keep your body straight (don’t bend at the waist). Hold in this position for 30sec.

Skittles
Make your own version of skittles. Find a ball and something in your house to use as skittles (e.g. empty cardboard boxes), stand from 4m back and roll your ball to knock them over. Try making it harder, by standing further back.

Music

60 min per week

Get moving to the music! Join in with the dancing and question and answers to ‘Pop See Ko’. There are two versions of the song, and you can do both of them:

Version 1 Click here

Version 2 Click here

Create your own actions in the song when it comes to your part. Practise doing the song with the Go Noodle people, and then perform and teach the song to your family, your siblings, your pet or your favourite toys!

Listen to different types of music and find an example of the following:

- Music that makes you feel calm

- Music that makes you want to dance (and please dance!!!)

- Music that makes you smile

- Music that makes you laugh

• Can you identify what it is about the music that makes you feel ….? Is it the tempo, instrumentation, mood?
• If you could make a song that makes you calm, what musical elements would the song need to have? Think about tempo, instruments, dynamics and mood.

Art

60min per week

Year 3   Shadow puppet theatre

Create a show for your family. Cut a square hole in a box and cover with wax paper or tissue paper (like the Art Room stage). Yours might be smaller, but may stand up better than the Art Room screen. The image below shows a simple white sheet hanging up.

  Use your puppet from school or make a new one. Remember to fold your paper for symmetrical cutting, and cut your shapes away from the edge, such as eyes and mouths. Your puppet will grow and shrink with proximity to the light and details will only be seen if they are carefully cut out of the shape. Details are easier to cut if they are larger. Draw your details first and turn the paper to follow your line with the scissors.

Film your show if you can. Have fun!

Year 4   Cardboard building. You will have your second Art lesson to finish this too.

• Find a small cardboard box from some cereal packaging or biscuits.
• Undo the ends, find the join seam and gently take it apart as cleanly as possible.
• Lay the inside of the box out flat and consider what kind of building you will create (a shop, a café, a motel, a bank, a factory or perhaps a block of flats)
• Draw the details and layout of the outside of your building, on the clean inside of the box, using a pencil and ruler
• Find a scrap of paper or cardboard to practise cutting windows, balconies and doors. You can also consider how to make some design aspects for the outside of your building such as a fire escape, stairs, a roof-top garden, a clothes line or anything else you might imagine. Once you have mastered this, you can cut out the shapes you’ve drawn on your box.
• Scissors and tape will do. Just remember to tape on the printed side of the box so it is hidden inside when you glue your box back together inside out.
• After you have cut and folded your details, you can glue your box together again, inside out at the join seam.
• When your box is standing you can add the outside details. Remember we are looking at your clever details built on, not drawn on.
• Don’t forget to take a photo.
