1) Vertical Jump:

- Find a tall, vertical, surface (like a fence, wall, or post).

- Reach up as high as you can with your feet flat on the ground. Place a piece of tape at that point.

- Using chalk on your fingers, or another piece of tape, jump up as high as possible and place your mark above the first.

- The distance between these two marks is your "vertical leap" score.

- For example, if you are able to reach up to 2.2m and jump to place your mark at 2.5m, your score is 0.5m.

2) Summer Active Plan: Create an "active" plan for your summer holidays. How will you try to keep yourself active? Will you try a new sport? Will you make a goal for exercising through your holidays? Will you try to go for a bicycle or paddle board ride each week? Let me know what you plan to do and how you hope to schedule it!

1) Yoga With Adriene: - Pick one yoga lesson to follow along with Adriene this week.

2) Standing Broad Jump: Use a starting line and a tape measure. Planting both feet, swing your arms and jump as far as you can. Measure from the back of your heel (or your hand, if you fall backwards upon landing).

3) Multi-Stage Fitness Test: For the Multi-Stage Fitness Test, create two lines, 20m apart. When each level is announced, begin running to the opposite line before the “beep” sounds. Two consecutive failed levels signal the end. Record your last, successful level.

Use the attached video for the properly timed audio, and see the explanation video for a further tutorial.

1) Daily Stretches: Follow along with the daily stretches video at least twice this week.

2) Fitness Roulette: Grab a deck of cards and a partner to partake in Mr. Z's "Fitness Roulette"!

3) Fitness Logs: Don't forget to submit your weekly fitness logs. Strive for a new goal this week!

1) Pe with Joe: Visit Joe's website, found in Helpful Links, and choose one of his daily fitness exercises to work through!

2) Cops for Cancer: Check out the fun video shared by all the riders from Cops for Cancer! Think you've got what it takes to meet their challenge?

3) Soccer Skills: Practice your footwork, passing, and shooting, at home. If you don't have a partner to work with, choose a target to pass to. Work through the included footwork video to enhance your ball control skills. If you don't have a soccer ball, pick any type of ball to work on your hand-eye coordination skills!

4) Timberwolf Track: Did you compete in the ICS Track Stars Program? Don't forget to submit your results to Mr. Z!

This week is all about mindfulness and mental health!

1) Yoga with Adriene: This week we have a calming yoga lesson for kids, instructed by Adriene Mishler. Prepare yourself a quiet and calm space, and follow along with Adriene and Benji!

2) Round Two for our Timed Challenge: Perform a second round of the Timed Challenge. How did your numbers compare to the first time we completed the timed challenge? What factors might have played a role in any changes? Time of day? Proximity to eating? Physical exertion before the challenge? Amount of sleep last night?

3) 10 things I love about me: Create a positive list of 10 things you absolutely LOVE about yourself. These don’t have to be big things. Think deep. Don’t dwell on what others think about you, but what YOU think about you.

4) Create a Gratitude Jar: Repurpose and decorate an empty jar to be used as a gratitude jar. For the week, or even longer, when you think of something you are thankful for, write it down on a small piece of paper and deposit it in your jar. Once your jar is full, read what you’ve deposited and start fresh for a new round!

This week we have a number of activities to take part in.

1) Creating a game: This week, Mr. Z would like you to take time to get creative, coming up with your own fun game. This could be as simple or as detailed as you like, but should include rules and a point system. Need some inspiration? Try combining some sports you already know! Back in 1965, in Brazil, Octavio de Moraes created the sport of Footvolley (see video on the side)!

2) Check out the new "Track + Field" page added to the website. You might be interested in joining the team! Even if not, you might want to try out the warm-ups or events.

3) Check out the "PE with Joe" video library and pick one lesson to follow along with this week.

4) Feeling the heat? Join Mr. Z out on the water, from home, in his latest just for fun video.

5) Don't forget to submit your weekly log!

This week’s activity puts you in charge of your own obstacle course! You can either use the list of ideas included to create your own course, in your home or outside, or try to recreate one of the courses designed by Mr. Z!

Want to submit what you created? Send a video of your course to Mr. Z and it might be chosen to appear on the website!

For other homework, try to complete the "daily stretches" found in the Extra Videos section & make sure that you are completing and submitting your weekly fitness log.

This week I have created a Fitness Bingo Challenge! Click on the link to download a fillable PDF that you can simply click on to cross off activities each time you complete them through the week. What's your goal? A horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line? Maybe two? Perhaps try for a large X or even the exterior boxes?
