May 4th

Hello everyone!

You have been working so hard and we are so proud of all of the work you have been doing online. This week our focus is on being active! The only written work for you this week is a bit of english and maths on Thursday and Friday. Please have a look at the plan below!

Anyone who posts photos and videos doing any of the suggested activities or even coming up with some activities of your own on Seesaw will be entered into Mr Boyle’s Friday draw. We will be posting some challenges on Seesaw that we’ve been trying at home too!

One other thing that we would like you to do this week is make a sign for the class. When you have it finished please take a picture with you holding it for the class and upload to Seesaw! We're going to then put them all together to make a collage!

Here is an example of the kind of thing we are talking about you making, but it can be any message to the class you want to write and colour. You do not have to do a specific word! Have a great week and we will be in touch.

National ‘Active SCHOOL Week’ takes place at the end of April/beginning of May every year and is a really enjoyable part of the school year for many children.

This year, because of COVID-19, it is not possible for this to go ahead, but you can still participate in the ‘Active HOME Week’ Challenge instead!🎉

As we are giving suggested curriculur work only on Thursday (7th May) and Friday (8th May) this week, we are encouraging you to take part in the ‘Active HOME Week’ Challenge (4th May - 10th May) this week as well!!

Exercising with your family is a great way to use some of this time that you're not in school! The challenge is: every day you try to complete four activities, which adds up to 60 minutes (or more) of physical activity a day!

Here is the chart that can be filled in, but you could just draw your own in your copy!
