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 of throwing golf?
Did anyone else in the family play?
What did you find challenging in this activity?
How did you adjust your technique based on the feedback you were getting from your actions?
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.

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 a week

Learning intention: We are learning to locate cognate words in a text that relate to our Inquiry learning.

Natural Disasters-

This week is another listening exercise about Tormentas Increibles and Terremotos.

Look at the front cover of each book- what do you think these words mean?

You will need a pen and your Spanish book.
Your task is to FIND words you ALREADY KNOW or can GUESS using your knowledge of what a cognate is.
Write these words in a list in your books.

Remember, a cognate is a word that sounds or looks the same in English as it does in Spanish.

It is also an opportunity to listen to a Spanish person read a text so that you are able to listen to how the words are pronounced.

Book 1 Cuidado! Terremotos! Click here

Book 2 Tormentas Increibles Click here

I am curious to see who finds the most words!

Music

60 minutes per week

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

Click here to listen to Vivaldi’s ‘Spring’.
Focus on how Vivaldi uses strings (violin, viola, cello, double bass) to create the sounds of nature.

Think about the sounds of nature that we hear in Spring. List a few things you may hear.

For this activity you will need a way to record sound on a phone, tablet, laptop or PC.
If you have a

• school laptop, use Audacity
• Mac, use Garageband
• Android, use Walk Band.                                                                                                                                  

Whichever medium you use isn't important, just make sure you are comfortable using the app before you start this task - have a play first!

If you don't have full access to a device that allows you to record or make sounds, go to the Year 3 and 4 Specialist page for LFH and create a soundscape using a graphic score. Their week 8 lesson is fine for you to use.

Make a spring soundscape by modifying and layering electronic sounds.
A soundscape is a recording of sounds that have things you would hear in a certain environment. When you hear it, you can imagine you are in that environment.

Find different ways to recreate the sounds of spring - whether its electronic sounds you find on an app, sounds you can record from nature, or sounds you can produce yourself (e.g. you can whistle to create a bird chirping).
Make your soundscape at least 30 seconds long.

Art

60 minutes per week

Learning intention: We are learning about appropriation and considering how ideas can be expressed to an audience.

If you have completed the Art Lessons for LFH this term, continue having some fun with appropriation.
All over the world people have been recreating works of art with found objects from home during quarantine.
It started with a challenge initiated by the Getty Museum in Los Angeles.

Find an artwork at home, from a book or online.
Consider how you might recreate the work using ordinary objects and perhaps yourself, a family member or even a pet!

Please take a photo of the original and of your appropriation, for sharing.

LPS can have our own Getty Challenge!

Some more Getty Challenge participants can be seen here.

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 card (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 Senior Fiction area of our library, on StoryBox Library, EPIC! etc.
Is the book part of a series?
Are there any other books that are similar in style that you could also recommend?

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

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