4th and 5th Class Blog

  

Hello Boys,
This week I have posted some fun activities that you and your family might like to try out!

Well done on all your hard work over the past number of weeks. 
Enjoy your summer holidays and I look forward to seeing you all in September.

Last week's answers are posted at the bottom of this page and I left the water and farm safety links up also.  
     
 Take care,
Mrs. Creamer 

VIRTUAL SPORTS DAY

Tug of War: 
The middle of a long rope is marked with masking tape or permanent marker.  Two teams pull the rope in opposite directions with the goal being to pull the middle of the rope over a mark on the ground.

Wellie Throwing:
Throw a wellie as far as you can.  Who can throw it the furthest?

Water relay: 
Put a central shared source of water at a point.  You can race against each other or divide yourselves into teams.  Bring back water to your start point using a smaller container and empty it into another container.  All containers used must be the same size in order for it to be fair. To  add a challenge to this activity, holes can be placed in the container that does the travelling!

Egg and Spoon Race: 
You place one arm behind your back and hold a spoon in your other hand.  Balance a potato on the spoon, up to a certain point and back again.  First person back is the winner.

Three-Legged Race: 
Two people stand side by side, tie the left leg of one person tand the right leg of the other together with a tie/scarf.  First pair to reach a certain point are the winners.

Wheelbarrow race: 
One person is on all fours, the second person walks the other up to a certain point and back again by holding their back legs up.  The person on all fours must use their two arms to help the person doing the walking.

Sack race: 
Get inside a sack of any kind and jump to a certain point and back again.  First person back is the winner.

Obstacle course:
Assemble your own obstacle course!
