In Physical Education we have been working on aim and accuracy when throwing. We did lots of activities using beanbags and wiffle balls. Try setting up targets using sidewalk chalk or masking tape on the side of your house or on your driveway. As your aim improves, try throwing from further away. We have been using these success criteria to help with our underhand throws:
Focus on the target. Keep eyes in the direction that the object is to travel. Swing arm fully. Throw ball from in front of body. Transfer weight through execution - Step with opposite foot so that it’s in line with intended target. Release ball at approximately waist height. If you're having trouble hitting the targets, move closer and try varying the force you are using.
Remember the most important thing is to have fun and get some exercise!
Science
In Science, we are learning about different materials and their properties. Try going on a hunt around your house to find items made with different materials. Can you find something made from each of the materials shown above? Here are links to songs and short videos about materials: materials songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOKr462HLc0

I want all the students and parents to know that I am thinking about you all the time. I know that you are all doing your best to get the things done that you need to do during this time of physical distancing. Remember to take care of yourselves, as well as others and to not stress over little things. We will be back together soon and we will catch up on any learning activities that we need to do.
