Friday- Art

 Friday- Art

I would like you to design your very own horse and carriage or horse and cart. 

A carriage was used to carry people whereas a cart was used to carry heavy goods. 

It is completely up to you what type of carriage or cart you would like to design. 

Think about what material would be good for your carriage or cart.  

Is wood a good material for a cart? Why? 

Could you make your carriage out of gold? Or would you use metal? 

What material would you use for the wheels?  

You can label your design with the materials you will use once you have drawn it out. 



 

Send in your ideas to the school email.

Friday- PE

 Friday- PE

Today’s challenge is to use our imagination and be creative. Use your imagination and follow the instructions as shown below today is the action for each animal. If you find it tricky to imitate one of the animals below, you may choose one of your choice to imitate.

Animal exercises can be a part of your daily indoor routine. Put all of the following exercises in a hat and pick three animals to imitate. Do each exercise for 30 seconds, rest.

 

BEAR CRAWL 

Start on your hands and knees. Gently lift your knees 1 to 2 inches off the ground. Travel by crawling like a bear, keeping your back flat with your knees bent and close to the ground. Move forward, backward, and laterally.  

  • Challenge 1: Put something on your back—textbook, can of beans, etc.—to throw off your balance.  
  • Challenge 2: If you’re feeling extra strong, eliminate one leg or arm. 



    CRAB WALK

    Start on your bottom with your hands behind your back and legs bent at the knees. Lift your bottom off the ground. Keep your belly as parallel to the ground as possible. Move forward, backward, laterally like a crab. 

    • Challenge 1: Put something on your belly—textbook, shoe, can of beans—to balance.  
    • Challenge 2: Add toe touches. Keeping your bottom off ground, reach a hand across to the opposite foot, repeat on other side.  


    BUNNY HOP

    Keep two feet together and hop across the room like a bunny. This exercise will get your heart-rate up.  

    FROG JUMP

    Start in deep squat with your hands on the ground. Jump up as high as you can with your hands and feet leaving ground at the same time. Land and return to starting position. This builds strength and endurance.  

    INCHWORM

    Build strength by walking like an inchworm. Start in a standing position. Bend forward, lower your hands to ground, and keep your feet still as you walk out to a plank. From the plank, keep your hands still as you walk your feet in toward your hands.  

    ALLIGATOR CRAWL (ARMY CRAWL)

    Start on your belly, staying as low to the ground as possible. Alternate using your right arm and left leg and left arm and right leg to move forward. This builds total-body strength.  

    DINOSAUR WALK

    Knees up! Stomp like a dinosaur to release your energy. The higher you can get your knees, the better.

Winter maths hunt

 Winter Maths hunt

For your maths activity in your packs it suggests that you go on either an indoor or outdoor maths hunt. Miss Quirke has been for a walk today in search of winter objects. It was a wet and windy day so she found an awful lot of puddles. Look how many she found.











She found large and small, wide and narrow puddles in all different shapes and sizes all around Horsforth. How many did she find altogether?

Look at what she looked up and saw.


A rainbow!

How many winter object can you find on your walk?

Thursday- Art

 Thursday -Art

Today we are going to look at continuous line drawing. This type of drawing is done without the pencil leaving the paper from the beginning of the drawing to the end. The line is unbroken.  

It’s a little bit of fun and a new skill for you to learn. The beauty of this type of drawing is that the line does not need to be perfect. No need for rubbers! You can even go over the same line multiple times.   

We are going to draw the monument of the Great Fire of London. It was made by Christopher Wren. Observe the photo well before you begin your drawing.  



Here is my continuous line drawing of the monument of the Great Fire of London 

 

Have fun and once you have finished email in your drawing. If you leave a comment in the comment box maybe Miss. Hussain will share some of her own continuous line drawings with you on the blog.
