Hi all,
I hope that you are all keeping safe and well. Thank
you for all your hard work since March 15thand your enthusiasm for
distance learning. You are all doing an amazing job. Seesaw seems to be working
very well and I’m delighted to see all the work you have been doing at home!
Keep sending it in.
Below is a list of work for the week of the 18th of
May.
Fun Friday
Fittest family member
This week’s fun Friday idea is to create an assault
course for you and your family in your garden. Try to use some of the ideas you
may have seen in ‘Irelands Fittest Family’ as well as the equipment in your
garden. Set up the course and time the participants, below are a few ideas for
tasks to complete
·
Hang time-How long can they hang off a clothes line?
·
Set up a running route and time your family
·
Set up teams and have wheelbarrow races
·
How many skips in a minute
·
Target practice-Hit a target with a ball, sliotar or
javelin
·
Can you challenge them with balance activities
Again, these are just ideas and you will have to
customise your own trials to your setting. Have fun but don’t work them too
hard.

I will upload challenges to the school blog and the Seesaw account that get pupils use a wide variety of skills to solve problems and complete challenges. They can then upload a pic of their finished project on to
For this challenge you will need a tray of jelly, the
wobblier the better! The jelly will be your "shake table", which acts
like an earthquake. You will use it to test different structures to see if they
can withstand the forces of an earthquake! Try it out!
Stay happy, stay healthy and stay at home! 🙂
