Racket skills lesson: week beginning 11/5/20

Hallo everyone I hope you all had a lovely weekend with plenty of sunshine and lots of exercises. 

For this week’s lesson I have got a bit of a fun challenge for you to develop your racket skills and achieving the following success criteria:

I can show good control and accuracy when hitting the shuttlecock to a target/over the net and to a partner

I can co-operate and compete in a variety of mini games.

I can show an awareness in space, changes in speed and direction.

I can move to a position to return the shuttlecock.

I can show fair play and sportsmanship.

Your challenge is to come up with ways to play a racquet game at home. If you are lucky enough to have a racquet and balls/shuttlecocks you can use these.  If not, don’t worry, I am hoping you can be creative with items you have around your home (eg magazines, card, plastic/wooden kitchen utensils, scrunched up bits of paper, soft toys).  Make sure you have an open, safe space in your house/garden. 

How many “keepy uppy’s” can you do on the spot?

Can you aim and hit at a target (eg bin, toy box, washing basket)?

Could you play a mini game with someone at home? Count how many passes you can make to one another.

I am looking forward to hearing how you all get on with this challenge.  Please post your comments in this channel if you can. 

You can always enjoy watching some Bitesize physical activity programmes.

Time to Draw, Count and Get Outdoors.

When you are out and about on a walk why not take some drawing materials and draw what you see? You could try white chalk on a darker piece of paper or recycled cardboard. Or you could take a twig with a leaf and draw that back at home. Why not try drawing with a twig using water or make your own berry ink or something runny from the kitchen like soy sauce. Try using thick and thin twigs and see what kind of lines you can make. Paint on the ground outside. If you have some DIY paintbrushes then you can make really thick lines. Old wallpaper is good to draw and paint on. Try reusing packaging.

You can also adapt Waltener’s ideas and wind wool or string round objects that you scavenge from your walk and make a journey memory stick. Let’s get twining!

It is fun trying to identify trees from their shape or leaves. Take some photos and try to find out what they are called.

STEM have lots of science challenges to try too. Have fun exploring, observing and recording whether in science or art.
