We would like you to make a poster to tell people about what they need to do to stay healthy, based on what you saw in the video. This could be telling people to eat healthily, drink enough water, wash their hands or take regular exercise. Please return to send copies of your poster to us via the class email address (willow@st-barnabas.kent.sch.uk)

PE – Exploring travelling movements

In this lesson, we will learn some intermediate balances. We will also learn how to perform a safe warm-up and cool-down. Please note this lesson will require some physical exercise and additional equipment, beyond a pen, pencil or paper. Please see the equipment slide near the start of the lesson video and make sure your child is adequately supervised when equipment is required. Parents and carers are responsible for ensuring that children follow the correct safety advice provided at the start of this lesson and the instructions the teacher gives during the lesson. Parents and carers are responsible for supervising activities where required and for seeking medical advice in advance if your child has a medical condition that may prevent them taking part in physical activity. To take part in this lesson, please follow this link: Introducing intermediate balance (thenational.academy)

As always, if you need help with any of these activities, please do not hesitate to contact us via the class email address.
