If you have a skipping rope, whilst you are at home practise learning how to skip. We have been doing this at lunchtimes.
Today was supposed to be our mindfulness yoga session. Instead do some mindfulness yoga at home.

Refer to the video we watched earlier in the week. Alternatively, find some of your own Chinese New Year dragon dances to watch. You can hear drums and cymbals in the parade. Sing the Chinese New Year song uploaded onto Purple Mash. Have you got any drums, cymbals or loud objects that you can play to accompany your singing?

HIIT Workout
Watch the Funky Elephant Walk episode of YolanDa’s Band Jam.
Sit with your child and ask them to imagine themselves as elephants. Children may benefit from having a visual reference. How do elephants move? Do they walk quickly or slowly? Do they have light or heavy footsteps?
Ask them to think about how an elephant might walk.
Mirroring the Band Jam video, stomp with heavy firm steps in a circle around the room, stomping with a steady beat.
Create a rhythmic pattern by repeating the word Stomp as in the song. Copy the pattern vocally/clapping/stomping around the room. Can you create your own stomping rhythms to be copied by others.

Ask a grown up to set up an obstacle course for you. Can you walk the plank like a pirate?
Can you use words like 'over, under, across, around' as you complete the obstacle course?
If you find it to easy, stand further away from your partner/grown up to make it more challenging.
If you feel brave enough you could always do it blindfolded.
