Let's keep active!
Welcome to our new online activity centre!
Hertford and Ware School Sports Partnership want to help you to be active whilst the coronavirus outbreak is keeping us all at home. We hope that adding any of these activities into your new daily routine will also add some extra fun!
Lots of Challenges are coming your way this month. I mentioned the National School Sports Week last time, you can find out more here. In addition the Herts Pentathlon, the Rainbow Games, and the imoves Dance challenges have all been developed with participation from home in mind. Things to keep you motivated and active but most of all for you to enjoy.
Have fun, laugh, smile but do take time to chill out too, with a book, drawing, or just look up at the sky and cloud watch for a bit.

Triple Jump
Find a space and practice the standing triple jump pattern – Hop, Step and Jump. Remember:
Hop-Must take off and land on same foot, drive knee upwards and forward
Step-Must land on opposite foot, as far as you can outwards to gain distance.
Jump-Must land two feet. Jump forward and drive hands forward.
Pattern is one foot to the same foot, to the other foot, to two/both feet. Practice and say to yourself ‘same, other, both’.
Ask someone to watch your Triple jump and to note where you land after the Jump. Try and improve your distance

Outdoor Crazy Golf
Using garden canes, string, rolled up old socks or t-shirts, old Lego… create a golf hole , No.1,like the one shown here. You can be as creative as you want to be!
Using a ball from the ‘tee’ (the starting point for each hole in golf), roll the ball without touching any objects to the ‘hole’ (I’ve used a stone)
How many rolls does it take from tee to hole? Try to do this in 3 rolls
Now create the next golf hole No. 2…and so on ….Can you challenge a family member?
