Morning boys and girls, welcome to Gargieston lockdown sports week!
So to recap,
Event 1 – speed bounces – 2 feet together, jump side to side
Event 2 – dressing up – how many items of clothing in one minute?
Please email scores to eapaul.smith@glow.sch.uk
Now over to Sarah for your warm up!
Have a great day everyone!
The ECC will also be participating in sports week next week. Please look out you fastest running trainers as each day next week you will be encouraged to take part in a different race at home with your family. We would love to see photo’s or video’s posted on your individual blogs. Please log on to your own blogs to explore what race we have in store for you daily. Like the school we are encouraging you all to wear your group colour while participating in these races. Let the fun begin!!
Good morning everyone, sorry this is late – was too busy enjoying the sunshine I forgot! Todays pose is the:
Another seating pose but this time put the soles of your feet touching together and your hands around your feet. ECC kids, you might remember the song we do at the beginning of our yoga sessions in this pose:
Fly like a butterfly
Fly like a butterfly
Fly like a butterfly
In the sky
And as you’re singing this song, you can move your legs up and down like a butterfly’s wings. Have a great weekend in the sunshine everyone 😀 ☀️
Usually around this time of year we’d be gearing up for our annual sports day but unfortunately due to lockdown we will miss out this year 😞. However, do not fear, in its place we are going to hold ‘Virtual Sports Day 2020’. Next week we are all going to be involved in a programme of fun sporting activities! This is a chance to work in conjunction with your schoolmates, to be as one again ( well, 🤔 actually as four because you’ll be representing your house colour 🤪). Anyway it’ll be fun and we will all be doing the same things like one big gang again 😁.
Each day you will warm up with our house captains/vice captains and then you will be given two challenges to do. You can count your scores and email them to us and we will count them all for your house. (Well, the captains and vice captains will!) We will see who is the winning house at the end of the week.
Between now and Monday your task is to look out a tshirt of your house colour and maybe you could make some banners and posters.
Children should know which house they are in but if anyone is unsure please email eapaul.smith@glow.sch.uk and I will try to find out for you.
Please take part if possible the more people who compete gives your house a better chance of winning. 🏆💪🏻
All ECC children should have received their end of term report by email yesterday. If you have not received this please contact myself on eaheather.hendrie@glow.sch.uk and I will ensure that you receive this. Thank you for your continued support. The ECC staff are overwhelmed with the engagement we are having with children’s blogs. It is fantastic to see all the learning which is happening at home. Stay safe.
Mrs Hendrie
Good morning everyone. Almost at the weekend, keep working hard! Todays pose is:
You can either cross the feet or place one on top of the other, which ever is most comfortable for you! Let me see them strong side planks 😀
Target Practice
In the demonstration for this activity I was trying to do it quickly because wee Rory had to be shut out to stop him running after the balls. As a result I forgot to mention a couple of things :-
1. All throws must be taken from on your knees
2. Throws can be overhand or underhand.
3. Primaries 1, 2 and 3 should be 2 big steps away from the cups, P4 and P5 3 big steps away and P6 and 7 4 away from cups.
Remember all activities can be adapted to suit the needs of each child.
Good luck.
