Tuesday is usually one of our P.E. days.
Try the activities below:
Warm up by following the actions in this song:
We have been developing our ball skills and, so far, have been working on throwing, catching and bouncing.
You will need a ball / bean bag / soft toy / scrunched up piece of paper / light scarf or another object someone at home says is safe to throw and catch.
Catching
Activity 1
Throw your chosen object in the air and try to catch it with both hands.
Begin by only throwing the object slightly into the air, gradually throwing it higher as you become more confident.
If you feel really confident, try clapping once, twice or three times between throwing and catching.
How many times can you throw and catch without dropping the object?
Activity 2
Ask someone at home to throw your chosen object to you. Begin working closely together and move further apart as you begin to feel more confident.
Remember:
- Keep your eye on the ball.
- Make sure your arms are outstretched and your hands are ready to catch.
Throwing
Activity 1
Try throwing your object to a target. This could be, for example, a basket or box, another object placed on the floor, or a mark drawn in chalk outdoors. Use an overarm throw.
Before you throw, remember to:
- Look to where you want your object to go.
- Lift your arm (the one holding your object) back.
- Point your other arm towards the target.
Activity 2
Throw and catch with someone at home. Try to throw the object so that your partner can catch it easily. This means throwing it towards them. Try to work out how much space you need between you and your partner to throw and catch more easily.
