Active Week – Day 1 (25/5/2020)
Dear Students,
We hope you are keeping well. We have something different for you to do this week. There will be up to 5 challenges set each day under the following headings
1 – Activity
2 – Wellbeing
3 – Cultural / practical
4 – Beat the teacher
We are challenging you to try these every day and send your photos or videos back into your PE google classroom. There will be spot prizes during the week for great examples of student work. The class that engages most in the challenges will also win a prize.
Today’s Challenges
Challenge 1 – walk between 2 and 5k. Post us a picture of your time or your route.
Challenge 2 – Art
The challenge is to recreate famous works of art using yourself, your family members or even a family pet. The costumes may be created using ordinary household items and bits of old clothes etc and domestic settings that may have a similar appearance to the objects and costumes in the paintings. It is designed to be fun and to engage imaginations in terms of using items and settings we have available to us and turning them into something else. I have attached two videos which feature similar ideas, one is a music video and the other is a family who have been creating famous works of art throughout lockdown. Some photo examples also attached. Emphasis here is really on the sense of humour and having fun. Please find some futher info at the following links.
