class2@gfschools.co.uk
If the children have any photographs, pictures or work that they are particularly proud of, please forward them to me and I will post some of them on the website later in the week.
Thankyou,

Good Morning Everyone!
I hope you are all well and ready for today's activities. I hope that you are enjoying the project activities about sport.
I hear that many of you have been busy doing lots of exercise - well done!
Remember, you can do the tasks in any order, and you don't have to do everything if you don't have time. 
For those of you who have returned to school today, I hope that you have a lovely day with Mrs Higginbotham!
Let's begin the day with some exercise.
You might like to do one of these activities, or maybe go for a walk, run or do some cycling.
P.E:
Wake up and shake up! Start the day with some PE, or maybe have a PE session later in the day.
Click on the link below to choose from the selection of activities. You could do a morning routine with Joe Wicks, find a fun activity on GoNoodle or try something new like yoga: https://www.harrogatessp.com/keeping-all-young-people-active/
.
Maths:
Please log in to MyMaths to find today’s tasks. Click here to log in --> 
Year 1 - Please watch the lesson first, then complete the task about comparing length.
Year 2 - Please watch the lesson first, then complete the task on patterns and sequences .
Then, here is an activity that you might like to do outside. Today, we are going to use positional language, such as:
forward, backwards, up, down, left and right
Work with an adult. Ask the adult to place an object on the ground and use positional language to direct you to the object. Then, you could switch roles and you can give the directions. If you wanted to make it harder, you could use a blindfold but be extra careful!
Reading:
Try to read a variety of books at home each day. Aim to spend at least twenty minutes reading. This can be reading a
book aloud or sharing a book with an adult. It might be a book from your bookshelf, a book from school or an online text.
Today’s activity is to listen to the Cbeebies story ‘Martin the Mouse’ https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/radio/story-time-martin-the-mouse
Can you record the main events from this sporty story?
You can draw the events, write sentences or retell the story by speaking it in your own words.
Phonics/Spelling:
Complete your spelling log for today and practise reading and writing the words on your list.
The word ‘sport’ contains the sound ‘or’. Can you make a list of words as you can containing the ‘or’ sound.
You might identify words that contain an alternative spelling for ‘or’ such as:
oor - door
ore - sore
aw - paw
au – Autumn
(Adults, please see: -alternative spellings for or.pdf- to print the aboveor open full screen size and to access the answers)
Writing:
Have you got a favourite sportsperson?
This could be your P.E. teacher or a famous sports person
Write an information booklet about this person.
You could draw a picture of the person on the front.
Inside, create a fact file about the person and their sport. Why are they your favourite?
Exercise Diary:
Hopefully, you were able to list about some of the exercise activities that you did yesterday. Write all the activities you do today, under the heading 'Tuesday'.
Be kind and help others
Don’t forget to try to do something to help someone else each day! There are lots of things that you could do to be helpful. I hope you tried hard to be helpful during the holidays! Have a think about what you could do to help someone!
The Learning Project for this week: Sport
These activities are to work on throughout the week. Choose the tasks that interest you.
● Obstacle Course Fun-
Your task is to design and make your own obstacle course outside. Draw and label the design first and include all the equipment you will need. Then use your design to create the obstacle course. Ask your family to complete the obstacle course whilst you time them. You could even make medals from tin foil or any other suitable material and present them to the winner during a winner’s ceremony
● Make a Family Mascot
You could make your own family mascot using materials from around the house.
First, visit the Olympic Mascot Official list and look at past mascots. Click on the British mascot to find out more ---> 
What makes a good mascot? What qualities does the mascot represent?
● Remarkable Routines
Can you create a simple routine, just like a gymnast, dancer or synchronised swimmer? Start by watching a video of a routine together, here are some suggestions:
men’s gymnastic routine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNIuIuv4eE0
ladies’ gymnastic routine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_MaUTcJIc0
Then, choose a piece of music to practise your routine to.
When you are confident, you could ask someone to film your sequence.
Watch the performance together- what do you think went well? What could be even better?
● Terrific Team Kits
Can you design your very own team kit?
Think about the flag of the country that you would represent and how to incorporate the flag colours into the design. You could draw the design with a pencil or maybe use a computer program to do this.
● Research about the Olympic games.
What are the Olympic games? When did they start? How often do they take place? 
● Can you Invent a New Olympic Game?
Challenge you invent your own game for the 2021 Olympics?
Look at a list of all of the sports that already compete in the summer Olympics: Click here ---> 
Can you write a set of instructions for the new game or draw illustrations?
Why not test the game out as a family?
Brilliant Bodies
● What can your body do? Balance on one leg? Touch your nose with your tongue?
Look at the body challenge cards and see how many you can do.
