PE Indoor
Good Afternoon everyone, I hope you are all well. Here is today’s PE Task followed by IDL.  Once you have completed the work out (snakes and ladders game), have a look at the ‘PE Benchmarks’ picture.  Choose one benchmark from any of the 4 sections which is relevant to today’s task and explain why. For example ‘I needed __________ for this task because ____________.’ Leave your answers in the comments. Enjoy 🙂

IDL
Open the ‘Easter Traditions’ PowerPoint.  Read through the presentation.  Use the information and pictures to help inspire you to create your own PowerPoint on Easter traditions in France.  Obviously, you can use the facts and information from the PPT provided, but I do not want you to create an exact copy.  Pick out the most interesting facts and then use the internet to do your own research to enhance your presentation.

Remember to include a contents slide and for each slide to have a heading / title so your reader knows what you are talking about.

Have fun and get creative.  Post your PPT presentations in the comments underneath this post.  Snakes and Ladders Instructions Snakes and Ladders Game t2-g-2567179-easter-traditions-in-france-powerpoint_ver_4

Phonics – Why are some letters different colours?

Leave a reply

Some parents might be wondering why some of the sounds your child is learning are written in different colours.

Consonants are presented in different colours depending on what part of the mouth they are made with.

Red – consonant sounds that are red are made with the lips, for example, “m”.  Pink is used for quieter mouth sounds, like “f”.

Blue – consonant sounds that are blue are made with the tongue (blue – because of the veins on the tongue), for example, “d”.  The letter “t”, for example, is light blue because it is a softer sound.

Yellow – consonant sounds that are yellow are made at the back/roof of the mouth. Imagine you have to shine a torch to see this part of the mouth.  Some yellow letters are “h”, “c” and “k”.

Green – these are sounds made with the cheeks, like “j”, “sh” and “ch”.

“x” – is yellow shaded with blue as “x” is made from “k” – yellow + “s” – blue.

Click on the links to see a list of all letters in their corresponding colour and a picture of the mouth with the different colour parts and some of the different sounds.

Vowel sounds are black because they are made with the middle of the mouth (like a dark tunnel).

Build up a sweat and complete these fitness workout cards. On the Nandos challenge, how spicy (how many piri points) can you get? If you are stuck with any of the drills give them a quick Google search.

Post pictures of your total score and we can see who gets the highest!
