To complete this challenge you will require washing basket, bucket or box, 10 of 4 or 5 different items to throw into the basket e.g. 10 rolled socks, a pen and paper.

Decide where the throw line will be, then grab your item e.g. the socks, stand behind the line and then see how many you can throw into the basket in 30 seconds. Depending on how fast you are and how many pairs of socks you have, you might need to quickly retrieve the socks, run back to the throw line and carry on for the 30 seconds .

Make a note of how many socks hit the target in that time, you will then need to repeat the exercise but with your next item. Then, using that data, draw a bar chart showing how many items you managed to get into the basket.

How do you FEEL as the pebble? What is happening to you? Are you happy? Are you excited? Has this happened before? Success Criteria - Interesting verbs/ adjectives/ verbs and adverbs. Remember to share your finished work online as we would love to read them.
