Health and Well-being

Poster to promote our Virtual Sports Day

Help us spread the word.  Tell people about the benefits of exercise or remind them about social distancing and health and safety.

How does exercise affect my body?

Think about how your body changes when you do exercise.  Don’t forget to think about how it alters your mood.  Use our body map to identify the changes.

Language, Literacy & Communication

Create your own sports commentary

Since we are filming ourselves doing exercises, why not be a TV star?  Read the BBC hints and tips on being a memorable sports commentator.

Email or write a letter to Sports Wales (or a sporting celebrity) to let them know about our Virtual Sports Day

Mathematics & Numeracy

How quick can you …?

See how quickly you can complete some of our simple challenges.  Who will be the quickest in your household to put on 5 items of clothing or do 20 jumping jacks?

Create your own game with a scoring system

Either indoors or outdoors, on the pavement or on paper, can you create your own game with a scoring system.  Take a look at some of our ideas.

Science & Technology

Make your own one minute timer

Using plastic cups/bottles with sand/sugar you can make your own timer.  Make sure you get an adult to supervise this activity.

Pulse rate

Find out how to take your own pulse.  Compare your pulse before and after exercise.  Does your pulse rate change if you compare it after the same exercise every day?

Expressive Arts

Move to the music

Create a playlist to exercise to, or one for a family member.

Film yourself completing one of the Sports Day activities and add your own musical sound track.

Design a PE t-shirt

Send in a design for your new House PE t-shirt and, if chosen by the Move it! Learn it! Pupil Action Group, pupils across the school could be wearing your design.

Humanities

Japan

This year the Olympics would have been hosted in Japan.  Can you research 10 facts about the country and make a Kahoot for your friends and family?

25 Funny & Weird Sports You’ve Never Heard Of

A PowerPoint (or photos) of sports from around the world.  Can you plot where they are played? Which would you like to watch or take part in?

Health and Well-being

Hop, skip, jump

Use chalk (or a soft stone that will not leave permanent damage) to draw a path for daily exercises to enjoy.  You can add star jumps, hopscotch, walking backwards, etc.  Remember to keep them safe and away from the road.

Cloud spotting

If you are lucky enough to have an outdoor space, lie back on a blanket and see what shapes you can spot in the clouds.  If not, look out of a window.  Can you explain what you see to someone else? Can they see it too?

Language, Literacy & Communication

Learn a poem

Developing memory skills is always a good idea.  Find a poem you like that’s not too long and learn it off-by-heart.  Why not perform it for the people in your house? Or post a video to your teacher?

i-Spy

A traditional game that still works well.  One player thinks of an item they can see and says “I spy with my little eye something beginning with …” (and the item’s first letter).  Alternatives can be “something that sounds like …” (add a rhyming word); “something with the middle sound …” etc.

Mathematics & Numeracy

Quick count

Ask a grown up for a number of small objects (e.g. Lego, pegs, frozen peas, etc), a plate/tray and a cloth.  Tip some of the items onto the plate. After 3 seconds cover them up and estimate how many there were.  Nearest guess wins a point.  Make it harder with more items or shorter time.

Number bingo

On a sheet of paper draw a large # to make a grid of 9 boxes.  Fill each box with 6 appropriate numbers (e.g. up to 10 for Reception, but up to 100 for Year 2 onwards).  Then on your daily walk see who can find their numbers first.

Science & Technology

Lockdown advice

Design a poster for other children to help them stay safe during lockdown – get creative.  Alternatively, write a leaflet for adults.

Beginners coding

Computers are taking over the world and we need to know how they communicate. Layout out cards to create a grid.  You can use toys to act as the 'computer' and 'obstacles'.  Now it's up to the 'programmer' to help get the computer through the maze.   Kids will need to give simple instructions in 'code talk' to be successful. 

Expressive Arts

View from my window

You don’t need to be an artist.  A scrap of paper and a biro will get you started.  If you have the resources use paint, felts, whatever you’re allowed.

Playdough

If you’re lucky enough to have flour, why not make your own playdough.  You can play a game where one person sculpts something and the others have to guess what it is.  It’s not easy and can be very funny.

Humanities

Good deeds

All the major religions encourage us to be kind to each other.  Write down 3 things could you do to make someone else happier.  Maybe you could send a message to a fellow pupil via Seesaw to let them know that you’re missing them?

Timeline

Can you make your own timeline of your life or time in lockdown?  You could use photos (if you are allowed), drawings, old cards, old clothes, toys, etc to illustrate your life so far.  It could be on paper, a washing line or a 3D display.  Please send a photo of it to your teacher via Seesaw if you can.
