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.

I can’t believe today is our last day in school before the Summer holidays. As a class you have all worked exceptionally hard. My highlight of the year was practicing for the class play. It has been a pleasure to teach each and every one of you. I hope you all have a lovely Summer holiday. I am looking forward to seeing you all again in the new school year. Take care, have fun and be safe.

Activity 1 – Through the Gate
In pairs with one ball per pair (get creative if you have no ball – rolled up socks are good). Each person stands on a spot facing
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
Draw or stick target areas at various heights on a wall. Points should be placed in the centre of each target from one to five. The aim is to hit the targets on the wall to achieve a score. Who is the best in your house?
Pupils could try to score a penalty on Mom, Dad or a big brother or sister.
