Good morning everyone! I hope that you all had a lovely long weekend? Please check in with me and let me know how you all are and what you got up to?

It was Vhairi’s birthday yesterday and she turned 6! We had a little party for her with just the three of us! She was pleased some of her family left presents at the door for her and there were lots of video calls. It was certainly a different birthday!

I have set some assignments for today and like always the hand in date is Sunday. Please just do what you can.

Numeracy

You have been given a budget and instructions on what you need to buy for a family pizza night. Follow the instructions and see if you can make pizzas fro the family and stay within budget. Good luck!

PE – Obstacle Course

This fun task actually covers many skills from different subjects. Be creative and make an obstacle course (outdoors where possible) which includes lots of different P.E. skills. It could including jumping over things, crawling under things, fitness stations, racquet/ball skills or anything else you can think of. Chalk lines to jump to and from or zig zag accross.
Add in some maths – use a stopwatch and record the time you take to complete the course. Run the course a few times. What was your best time? What is the difference between your fastest time and slowest time? Time the whole family running the course and compare your times.
Another literacy/maths task you could try is guiding someone in your family through you course using positional/directional language – blindfold them for an even bigger challenge. Be creative, the possibilities are endless. Please take some pictures and upload them if you can.

Literacy

Spelling – Silent ‘e’ rule

Reading – A new Bug CLub book has been allocated for your group,

Writing – Instructional Writing linked to your obstacle course.
Please write a set of instructions for someone to follow your obstacle course. Remember to include a list of equipment that they will need, use imperative (bossy -put/make/jump) verbs, adverbs like slowly/carefully and state the steps that they need to follow as they work their way around your course. I have included a self assessment guide should you wish to go over your work and self assess, like we do in class. I’ve also added an imperative(bossy) word mat for help if you need it.
