Throwing Golf

Steps: For this activity you will need an object that can be used as a ball (if indoors use a ball of wool or rolled up socks) and tubs or containers to make the holes (9 holes or up to 18 holes).
Place your tubs in different locations in the playing space you are using – if playing indoors you may use several different rooms. When placing your tubs decide what order the ‘holes’ (tubs) will be played in.

To make sure the game works you need hole 2 to be visible from hole 1, hole 3 visible from hole 2 etc.
You need to complete all holes in as few throws as possible.

Choose your starting position, count how many throws it takes to get the ball to land in hole 1 – this is your score for the first hole, then stand at hole 1 and try to land the ball in hole 2 – again count your throws.

Modification – if outdoors you might try and play this game with a Frisbee.
Use your non-preferred hand and compare the scores you achieved to your preferred hand.

Questions: What was your score for the whole game?
Did anyone else in the family play?
What did you find challenging in this activity?
How did you adjust your technique based on your results?
Would you set up our course differently if you played again and why?

Wednesday

Warm up - Sit-up Stacking  Click here

Laundry basket Skee-Ball

You will need: Empty cereal boxes, laundry basket and soft plastic balls
(if you don’t have any, scrunch up newspaper to make a ball).

Set up: To create a curved ramp, join two flattened cereal boxes together lengthways with sticky tape and bend into a U shape. You can use sticky tape to keep the shape in place.
Place the laundry basket at a distance from where your ramp will be.

To play the game, tilt the ramp at an upwards angle, and roll the balls up the ramp so that they launch into the laundry baskets.  It works best if you kneel to roll the balls.

Aim to roll the ball into the basket with the highest points. Add up your score.
You can play against yourself or another family member.

Tennis racquet skills

If you don’t have a racquet at home, get creative and see if you can make one or even just use your hand.

How many times can you bounce the ball on the racquet face in a row?

Bounce the ball on the ground using the racquet without stopping. Count the number of times you can bounce the ball in 30 seconds? Can you beat it?

Wall Ball

Steps: You will need a rubber ball (high bounce ball) or a tennis ball for this activity.
Rebound the ball off a brick wall, the ground and then catch - repeat 5 times in a row.

After you catch the ball 5 times in a row, try some of these variations:

Rebound the ball up and clap 1,2,3 or more times – what is your best score?

Rebound the ball, turn around and catch

Rebound the ball, touch the ground with one hand, stand up and catch

Try with your right hand, left hand, both hands

What other tricks can you come up with for catching – can you teach someone else in your home?

Can you turn this into a game that includes scoring?

Questions: What part of your hand do you catch with?
What was your best score for clapping your hands when you threw the ball in the air?

Mr M can throw a ball up in the air and clap 15 times before catching. Can you beat his score?
Mrs Yue-Lambs’ best score is 12. Can you beat her score?

What was your favourite catching trick?

Spanish

30 minutes per week

Learning intention: We are revising vocabulary about our home environment and ‘family’

Completa la actividad de tu casa y jardín desde la semana siete

(Complete your house and garden activity from Week 7).

Ensure that it is labelled correctly in both English and Spanish.

Using the words as much as you can is the key to remembering them.
Test yourself on all of the words.

Viewing activity: Nosotros vivimos en nuestras casas con nuestras familias. (We live in our houses with our families).

Think about who you live with and locate them in the following Epic! book: Familia y amigos (Family and friends).

Can you learn the sign language words for mother, father, sister, brother or other family members?
The reason why I am asking you to try this is that sometimes performing actions while you are learning the words helps you to remember the words.

Try it and see how you go! Does it help you?

Music

60 minutes per week

Learning intention: We are learning to combine layers of sound to create a soundscape.

Listen to Vivaldi's 'Spring': Click here and focus on the different sounds you hear in the song.

What sounds do we hear in spring? Birds singing, bees buzzing, gentle breezes blowing the new leaves around.
Think about how Vivaldi used only a string section to create the sounds you hear.

Make your own spring soundscape. Think about the sounds you hear and ways you can replicate them e.g. you can whistle to make a bird sound or you can use some rice in a long container to sound like moving water.

Once you have decided on your sounds, create a graphic score to represent when and how the sounds will be played.

A graphic score is a picture that shows someone how and when to play an instrument using symbols.
(Year 4, this is just like your 'Planets' composition graphic score from last year).

I have included an example of a graphic score for my spring song below.
The shape, size and movement of the lines tell me how to make the sound e.g. if I have bigger shapes, my sound will be louder.

Experiment with different sounds and write them into your own graphic score.

Art

60 minutes per week

Learning intention: We are learning different ways of displaying artworks to enhance their meaning for an audience.

If you have completed the Art Lessons for LFH this term, continue having some fun with appropriation.

Consider the exhibition “BudgerigArt” Rebecca Keen made for her two budgerigars.
Look up the following artists and see if you can find the works Rebecca has appropriated for this exhibition.

• Edvard Munch - The Scream
• Johannes Vermeer - Girl with a Pearl Earing
• Vincent van Gogh - Sunflowers
• Vincent van Gogh - Starry Night
• Michelangelo - The Creation of Man

Create your own exhibition for a pet at home, copying three or more famous artworks. If you don’t have a pet, imagine you do. What kind of pet do you have and how can you change some artworks to give them a relatable theme?

These works were made quite small for the budgies. Perhaps size is all that will change.

Explore Metkids for some art history and fun activities.

Some extra work has been added into last week's Gallery Pages

LPS Online LFH Art Gallery

Library

30 minutes per week

Learning Intention: We are learning to write a book recommendation

Choose a story you have really enjoyed reading this term and would like to recommend to your peers.

Complete a book recommendation (like the one below) to entice your peers to read the book.
Ensure you include the title of the book, the author and why you recommend it.

Don’t forget to add the age group you think it suits and where you would find it, e.g. in the fiction area of our library, Story Box Library, EPIC! etc.

Think of anything else you can add to make your recommendation appealing.

We will share and display these recommendations when we return to school.
