Fun in the Sun :)

29/5/2020

Today's activities can all be completed in the sunshine :)
Activity One:
Listen to your favourite song and sing it loud and proud.
Can anyone guess what I'll be singing?!

Using any materials you can find, spell your name out in your garden/balcony. Here's my one that I did in my garden. I used logs for the fire, a cone, a skipping rope, a frisbee and an exercise band to spell my name!

Activity Three: Walk the Plank

Activity Four: Measure the length of your single leg hop!

Activity Five:
Write a message to all the boys and girls in Room 9. Take a picture of it, email it to me and I'll post it here for everyone to read :)
Have a wonderful weekend everyone :)
