Orange Class Friday 27th March
Good morning to the Orange Class!
As it is Friday we have assembly!
Primary Assembly
Good Morning Every-one
Click on the link below this picture to see the power point for our NURTURE Assembly. I have added the fischy music link for the ‘Welcome Song’ and the ‘We Can Make a Difference’ song below too (that’s all my tech skills allow at the moment – sorry!)
The signs are a little different from the Signalong we use in school, but it beats singing without the music!!
Hopefully I can learn how to improve this for next week!
Have a fab Friday!!
Here is our Friday assembly for this week (27.3.20)
Welcome Everybody – Fischy Music
Make a Difference – Fischy Music
After assembly at 10 O’clock we have a special treat. You can go to Chester Zoo today!

Sign of the Day
Check Lorna’s post! (search Sign of the day).

PE
For today’s PE lesson we are going to start with a warm up to a song.
Now that we are warmed up and ready, we are going to play a board play a board game “race to 100”. All you need is a bit of space, a dice and a family member to play with you.
Rules are simple:
Each player has their own 100’s sheet.
Players go at the same time.
Roll the dice, each person performs the exercise (you can use alternatives if are struggling or a wheel chair user), cross off that many numbers on the sheet (attached). See who gets to 100 first.
1= 7 Jumping Jacks (7 ab crunch)
2= 5 Push-ups (with knees on floor)
3= 5 Toe Touches
4= 4 Squat Jumps (4 elevations using chair arms)
5= 8 Mountain Climbers (8 lifts of leg alternately)
6= 10 Second V-Sit (10 second arms stretch up)
Can you get to 100 before your partner does?
Play the game as many times as you want and good luck.
