I hope that some of you managed to find some time to practise some of the events for Monday or even find resources from around the house you will need to compete!

The last 3 events of the Virtual Sports Day will be; the long jump, a marathon run and an obstacle course. Some of these will be tough!!

The long jump – for the long jump you can mark out a starting point. You will take a run up to this point and jump pushing off of one leg. Remember to land safely! Ask your helper to measure how far you managed to jump, the point you first touched the ground is where you measure to. Measure this in strides.

Marathon run – This is all about endurance! Mark out a 5m length with cones, jumpers or bottles. You are counting how many times you can run 10m, so that is running from the starting marker to the end marker and back again. You are trying to run for 3 mins if you are p1-3 or 5 mins if you are p4-7. You gain ore points if you can run for the whole time without stopping!

Obstacle course – This is my favourite!!! Use your imagination and make up an obstacle course, use a range of objects from around the house, making sure it is safe!! Points are up for grabs for completing your obstacle course. Remember to have fun!!

Come back tomorrow to find out how you will record and submit your scores! If you haven’t already ask an adult to follow NLActiveSports on twitter for updates!
