Plan a P.E. activity based on the book. emorrison455 https://padlet.com/emorrison455/kz2kgjz7rm4s16av/wish/563624077 Different exercises for each scene of the book. This includes: leaping like frogs through the grass, running as fast as you can on the spot through the forest, hoping on opposite legs through the mud and crawling on a bench through the narrow cave. I would do the exercise with the children and then we would all go on the bear hunt together. During each part they would catch and throw a ball or have another task to do to 'stay warm'. ]]> 2020-05-11 00:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/emorrison455/kz2kgjz7rm4s16av/wish/563624077 3.

How active should our children be? emorrison455 https://padlet.com/emorrison455/kz2kgjz7rm4s16av/wish/563634811 Children and young people should engage in physical activity for an average of at least 60 minutes per day across the week. This can include all forms of activity such as physical education, active travel, after-school activities, play and sports.

 • Children and young people should engage in a variety of types and intensities of physical activity across the week to develop movement skills, muscular fitness, and bone strength. 

• Children and young people should aim to minimise the amount of time spent being stationary, and when physically possible should break up long periods of not moving with at least light physical activity.

How can break times be made more active for all children?

Provide equipment such as skipping ropes, hula hoops, basketball net, football and space to set these out. Even having hopscotch and a running track. 

Set a goal for the children each day – aim at break time is to run or walk 2 laps of the playground so it can be added to daily mile? Something like this?

Motty's Instructions

  1. Each child should be given a bingo board/answer sheet (see resources) and a pencil.
It may be beneficial to pair up weaker players with an adult or learning buddy.

  1. The bingo cards/question cards (see resources) should be placed around the playing area or stuck with Blu Tack to the wall.
Children will move around the learning space, calculating the number sentences listed on the bingo cards.

  1. As they calculate each one, children should find the answer on their bingo board and record it in the right place.
  2. To increase the pace of the game, why not give a time limit for game completion or award points for players based on their speed and accuracy?
Extension:

As an extension activity, why not have spare blank bingo cards available for early finishers to write their own number sentences?

§  Competition 
§  Use outdoor space
§  Movement around the classroom

What role does competition play? emorrison455 https://padlet.com/emorrison455/kz2kgjz7rm4s16av/wish/563660031 The aim of competition is not to exclude anyone but to try get people involved and motivated to challenge themselves and set goals to win.

How can PE teach other things? emorrison455 https://padlet.com/emorrison455/kz2kgjz7rm4s16av/wish/563660666 Children are encouraged to also  learn British values within PE in school, this includes:
  • an understanding of how citizens can influence decision-making through the democratic process
  • an understanding that the freedom to hold other faiths and beliefs is protected in law
  • an acceptance that people having different faiths or beliefs to oneself (or having none) should be accepted and tolerated, and should not be the cause of prejudicial or discriminatory behaviour
  • an understanding of the importance of identifying and combatting discrimination

What is the difference between physical exercise and physical activity? emorrison455 https://padlet.com/emorrison455/kz2kgjz7rm4s16av/wish/563673930 School physical education programs offer the best opportunity to provide physical activity to all children and to teach them the skills and knowledge needed to establish and sustain an active lifestyle. Physical education teachers assess student knowledge, motor and social skills, and provide instruction in a safe, supportive environment.
Physical activity is bodily movement of any type and may include recreational, fitness and sport activities such as jumping rope, playing soccer, lifting weights, as well as daily activities such as walking to the store, taking the stairs or raking the leaves. Similar health benefits to those received during a physical education class are possible during physical activity bouts when the participant is active at an intensity that increases heart rate and produces heavier than normal breathing.
