Múinteoir Jason 22.06.20

Dear 5th Class and Parents,

I hope you are all keeping well and that you enjoyed the activities from our ‘Active School Week’. We will continue with part 2 of those activities this week. It is hard to believe that it is officially our last week of school. It has been strange not to be in class for the past few months. I am very proud of all of you for doing so well at home and with the work that I sent on to you. It was very encouraging and pleasing to see some of the work, activities and pictures that you sent on via the school email and the Aladdin app.

I want to wish you the very best in 6th class next year. I hope you try your very best as it is an important year in primary school.

I hope you have a fantastic summer. I will see you all in September.

Take care,

Múinteoir Jason.

Activity 1

Traffic Lights

Find a space in a playing area. On a signal, move around the playing area in

response to the following commands. Turn it into a game of moving statues to develop.

  • Red: stop
  • Amber: walk
  • Green: run

 

 

 

Activity 2- Rock Paper Scissors

Play with someone at home standing one metre apart and facing each other. Mark out two safe areas for each person. Each pair begins by performing a rock-paper-scissors routine. A rock is a closed fist, paper is a flat hand, and scissors are the index and middle fingers in

a cutting position. Paper always covers rock, rock breaks scissors, and scissors cut

paper. To determine a winner, count to three and form a rock, paper, or scissors. The winning person then chases their partner toward their safety line, attempting to tag them before they are safe. Line up again and repeat the activity.

their partner who is also standing on a spot a distance away. Set up a gate

between each pair using two cones (tins of beans, cereal boxes anything will do). Person A attempts to kick the ball to Person B

through the gate. One point is awarded for each pupil that successfully kicks the

ball through the gate.

Single pupils could play the game off a wall. Increase the distance to increase difficulty. Add some targets.

Kick to Score

Pupils could try to score a penalty on Mom, Dad or a big brother or sister.
