We had fun on Monday, taking part in all of the fun activities that the Parent Council and Primary 7 had organised.  Thank you!

 

Shereen and everyone at Day Care invited us for another visit.  We made lovely lighthouses and created our own fish pictures for a display at Day Care.  We shared snack with the service users and they had also made us gorgeous fish magnets to take home too!  We used our communication and creative meta skills.  When we got back to class, we made ‘Thank You’ cards to send to the Service Users as well as Shereen and all of the team at Day Care.

Weeks 5-8 Skipping

We started by developing our individual performance from a basic skip to trying  different actions with our feet like jumping jacks, ski’s, twists, etc.  We could also try moving the rope differently by doing cross overs and a double rope with one jump.  In our second week we introduced partner work, where we both still had our own ropes but tried to skip in time, and skipping on a bench.  We finished the block with group skipping using the longer ropes.

Week 9-12

This week sees the start of our last 4 week block of the term and the year, which is Rounders.  Here are the first two games we are doing.

– Circle and line – In 2 halves, 1 half stand in a circle and pass the ball around circle.  The other half stand in a corner and 1 at a time run around edge of gym.  See how many passes the circle team can make in the time it takes the other team to all have 1 shot each.

– Passing rounders – 2 teams, 1 fielding and the other batting.  The batters throw the ball out and run once round all the stumps.  The fielders score by throwing the ball as many times as they can before the batter gets home.  The team with the most throws wins.
