Warm-up

60 Second Challenge: Skipping Click here

Your challenge today is to practise your eye-hand coordination by attempting to juggle a scarf.If you don’t have any scarves, you could use a clean tissue, a plastic bag, an old t-shirt or a small bath towel.
Can you complete at least 5 of the 14 challenges? There is no time limit for this activity.
                                                

Practise for as long as you are allowed to.
Remember, to show a growth mindset and practise, practise, practise!

Mr M can complete 8 of the 12 challenges. Can you beat him?
Mrs Yue-Lamb can complete ALL the challenges! Can you beat her?

Toss and catch with 2 hands

Toss and catch with your right hand only

Toss and catch with your left hand only

Alternate tossing and catching hands e.g. toss with right and catch with left
Toss and then catch at different levels e.g. high, medium, low
Toss and catch on different body parts e.g. arm, head, shoulder, finger, leg foot, etc.

Toss, sit down, catch

Toss, clap once, catch (see how many claps you can get)

Toss, spin around, catch

Toss, touch the floor, catch

Place scarf on shoelaces, kick it up, catch

Hold the scarf up to your chest, start running, let go of the scarf and see how long it will stay “stuck” to you.

Make up your own trick and teach it to a family member.

Find a partner.
Stand about 3 giant steps apart facing each other.
On the count of three, toss your scarf up and try and catch your partner’s scarf before it hits the ground.

If successful, take one step further apart.

Tuesday

Warm-up

60 Second Challenge: Socks in the Box Click here

Ring of Fire!

Steps: Set up 5 objects in a circle, then place markers at varying distances away from the obstacles
(see the diagram below).
Tall objects which can fall down easily make the best obstacles for this game (eg: water bottles).

Using an underarm throw, aim to land your ball inside the obstacles without knocking any of them down.

Start by throwing from the closest marker and move back to the next when you successfully land the ball inside the circle.
You might also want to experiment with different types of objects to throw e.g. teddy bear or scrunched up paper.

Questions: Explain the best shape of the ball flight path to keep the obstacles standing up e.g. a straight line, a rainbow shape?

How can you change your throwing technique to make the ball move in the best flight path?
How did you change your throw when you found you weren’t landing the ball in the target?

At what speed does the ball/object move when you are trying to aim for a small target? Why?

Was it easier or harder depending on the object you used to throw with?

Music

60 minutes per week

Learning Intention:

We are showing what we like about different sounds and songs through drawing.

This is the last time we will be listening to Hoe-Down for our music lessons Click here.

Read 'Hoedown Slowdown' in Epic! Click here.

What instruments are in the story?

We see that the two people in the story have some instruments - a violin and a guitar.
Have a listen to where the violin belongs in an orchestra.

Strings: Click here

Violin: Click here

A guitar isn't usually part of the orchestra.
If it was part of the orchestra, it could be part of the strings or the percussion section.
Most of the instruments we play at school are part of the percussion section.

Have a look at the percussion section of the orchestra.

Percussion: Click here

Can you hear where the strings are being played in our Hoe-Down song?
When you hear the strings being played in the song, can you pretend you are playing the violin like the people in the orchestra?

As this is our last lesson listening to Hoe-Down, draw a picture of what you liked about this music.

If you can, write what you liked about the music underneath the picture.

Art

60 minutes per week

Learning intention: We are learning to make artworks using different materials and techniques that express your ideas, observations and imagination.

This week is your chance to be curious about the Artworks you have done at home.

Finish off something you have made OR add to your work,

OR try something new you have learnt,

OR mix up activities and make something totally different!

Display all your completed works together somewhere in the house, like a little gallery.
Take some photos, invite your family to the exhibition and ask them to talk to you about your work and what they think.

Email your photos to Ms Farlow.

Library

30 minutes per week

Learning Intention:

We are learning to understand what the setting of a story means.

The setting of a story is the environment where most of the story takes place.

Think of all the different places the setting of a story could be.
Sometimes a story may take place in space, under the sea or at the circus.

Listen to ‘A Farmer’s Life for Me’ on Epic! library. Click here

The setting of the book ‘A Farmer’s Life for Me’ is the farm as this is where most of the story took place.


                

Choose another book.

Write the title of the story on a piece of paper and draw the setting of the story.
