Morning all,

How is everyone?

Here is today’s list of suggested activities:

- GoNoodle -

- Phonics -

Get logged onto spelling Shed and practice the ‘ear’ and ‘are’ sounds we have done this week!

- PE -

Throughout the summer term, I would be teaching athletics and tennis to the children. While at home, I am going to leave this open-ended for you and make this a repeated PE 'job' for the coming weeks.

If you have the facilities and space to do tennis, teach your children balance and coordination, by balancing a ball on the racquet while walking and jogging, get them to bounce the ball like a basketball using the racquet, try to encourage good eye to hand coordination by getting the children to drop the ball with their non-dominant hand and hit the ball after a bounce with their dominant hand.

Encourage a good grip of the racquet by showing them either the frying pan grip or the axe grip. Use a swingball if you have one!

After a while, try to feed them throws and ask them to hit back to you with control.

Encourage a forehand style shot and work up to a backhand shot.

Once they have shown understanding have a game where you shout out forehand or backhand and they have to return the ball using the correct shot type. 

Other shot types could be practicing the volley (hitting the ball without it bouncing) or the smash (hitting a ball in an over arm style above head height shot).

Always encourage control over power, as balls in next door's garden will soon halt PE play in these days of social distancing! 

Over the coming weeks, try to get to a level where you could have a rally of five or ten simple shots with your child and incorporate moving to the ball where space allows it.

Where athletics are involved, track and field style events could be replicated at home through the use of jogging and running as track events or the use of makeshift hurdles. Field events could be trying to improve and progress the throwing technique, working on jumping, both high and long. 

This is an open-ended PE task that is open to interpretation and adaption to fit your needs. Most of all, have fun!

- Break -

- Maths -

Well done for the lovely work you have been doing on fractions!

Draw around some squares in your home learning books with a coloured pencil.

How many ways can you shade in a quarter?
Can you shade in a half?
Can you shade in three quarters?

Support where necessary.

Click here to open a presentation about finding quarters of a quantity.

Feel free to attempt some of the questions in the presentation.

There is also a challenge section for anyone who wants to give it a go.

- Lunch -

- RE -

Who was Joseph and why is he remembered?

Have you ever had to say sorry?   

Is it easy or difficult?  Why? 

How do you feel when you say sorry?

Do you think it is good to say sorry?

How does it make the other person feel? 

What might happen next?  (Forgiveness)

Click here to listen to the story of Joseph.

Can you imagine have 11 brothers?  Do you think that you would always get along?  Why?

How do you think Joseph’s brothers felt when they saw all the special treatment Joseph was getting from their dad?

What did his father make for him?

What is a famine?

Does Joseph show forgiveness or anger when he meets his brothers again?

Thanks for all your hard work and efforts!

Cheers, and stay safe!

Mr. H.
