PE… time for dance

We created disco tig, as our PE warm up.  You can see the rules in the photo. If you were “tug”, you had to be freed with a dance move. Then, we split into groups and we played a game where the first person created a dance move which everyone copied, then the second person copied the first and added their own and so on.   We were moving so fast, that some of us became a blur, and others almost began to fly….

The rules of the game

Classic running  man moves.

Mac taking off!

 

Outdoor learning

We went outside to the area at the bottom of the school grounds this week.

We found lots of different thickness of worms in a damp log. There were plenty of snails too. We carefully sanitised our hands after looking at them.

When we were outside, some people had a group effort to build a house.  When it fell down we had to rebuilt it again.

We made a seesaw from a log and plank of wood.

We had a competition to create the best slide down the hill.  We used, some pole, wood planks and guttering. The slide took the ball the whole way done the hill.  We had some snail spectators too 🙂

 

There was a secret tunnel at the back of a den! We used team work, problem solving, resilience and gross motor skills to move the equipment around, using our imaginations.

 

Health and Wellbeing

We explored online friendships this week, talking about the pros and cons of spending time with friends online, and how we sometimes felt after it.  We were surprised by how many of us sometimes felt a bit sad, worried or upset after spending time with friends online, compared to in the “real world”.  We spent some time exploring different alternatives to some of the more upsetting things we had heard.  Talking to friends online or while gaming should be no different so speaking to them face-to-face.
