Skittle Alley

We have got a sporty challenge for you- it is called Skittle Alley!

For this challenge you will need 6 ‘skittles’, which could be water bottles, deodorant cans, or anything of a similar size which can be knocked over.

You will also need 3 small balls (tennis ball size) or rolled-up pairs of socks.

Place your skittles in a V-shape, with 1 skittle in the front row, 2 in the middle row and 3 in the back row. Your skittles must not be touching.

Standing 3 metres away from the nearest skittle, throw or roll your ball and try and knock down the targets. Do not reset your skittles between shots.

You get 2 points for each of the skittles that you knock down within 3 shots. Maximum of 12 points with your initial shots.

Spicy challenge! Can you keep a scoreboard of you and your partner/other players. Can you add up all your points to work out the total score? You could use coins/counters to help you. Perhaps you could design a certificate for the winner using your super sounds?

Wednesday 6th January

Before Christmas, we did lots of learning on 2D and 3D shapes. Today's challenge is to have a Shape Hunt around your houses and gardens- if you're going for a walk today for exercise you could do it then too!

I wonder what shapes you will notice all around you?

These are the 2D shapes we have learnt so far: circle, square, rectangle, triangle, and the 3D shapes: cube, cuboid, cylinder, sphere and cone. You might be a Maths whizz and know some other shapes! It will probably be easier to focus on either 2D or 3D shapes in your hunt to discourage any confusion.

Spicy Challenge: Can you keep a record of how many of each shape you have seen? You could do this using a tally.

Scavenger Hunt!

The weather is looking chilly but dry today so it is a perfect day to do a scavenger hunt on your daily exercise or at the park! Come up with a list of things you can search for and tick them off as you go. If you can't manage to get outside today you could always design your hunt so you can complete it in your home. See below for some sample photos. We would love to see some interesting photos of this on Tapestry. Have fun!

Story Cards

Can you create your own story cards just like Mrs Clark has? She used a cereal box, but you can use any paper or card you may have at home.

Once you have chosen what you want to be on your cards, choose 5 or 6 and use them to help you tell a story!

Spicy challenge: can you use your super sounds to write labels for some of the pictures in your story, perhaps you could even have a go at writing parts of your exciting story?!

This is how Mrs Clark's story went: ""Once upon a time a little girl went for a walk and she saw a rainbow.  She followed the rainbow to the end where a pig sat eating cakes.  He gave her a cake and she ate it up.  She sat on a cloud and floated all the way home.  The end."
