PE@ Home 2021

Here we go again! I expect you know what Mrs Turner will be saying to you over the next few weeks???
 
You need to move and be active as much as you can each day. Not only will this strenghten your growing bones, muscles and heart but it will give you some happy feelings and you'll feel good about yourself and your whole learning.
 
You know this as this happens everyweek in our PE lessons in school.
 
See the chart below for some ideas to get started with moving every day..
 
And if none for these are possible - put on some music and dance!! One of my favourite tracks in our - Kitchen Disco is - Sister Sledge " We are family!".We are still our special St Jo's family and although we are not all physically togther for a while we can unite in movement.
 
Do send me your photos of the fun you are having at your kitchen discos or out for a walk, ride or skate.
 
Email me on pe@stjo.uk
Let me know in the email if I  can share your picture with our St Jo's family and beyond.
 
Whatever you choose to do, does not matter, as long as you move and you feel your heart rate increase.
Just to get you started some home PE ideas in this document. Joe Wicks starts his new 20 minutes only, PE with Joe on Monday 11th January at 9am. Joe will then have live sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9am on his youtube channel. 

Come on - my St Jo's PE team!!!

We need to be doing 60 active minutes a day! Can you try this for me next week?

‘60 active minutes a day’ message recommended by the Chief Medical Officer …. it's challenging at the present time, but never more important than now.  

The activities don’t have to follow rigid weekly plans or be from a digital or online platform and can be as simple as: 

  • a brisk walk 
  • a cycle ride on a safe route 
  • bouncing on a trampoline 
  • throwing a ball against a wall  
  • learning some skipping skills  (a great way to engage and take part in the new Devon Spring Virtual Games Skipping Challenges


It is important for children to keep discovering ways to develop their physical skills, improve balance and coordination as well as maintaining essential heart health and finding fun and enjoyment in being physically active.

 

Let me know how you get on by sending a picture or a sentance about how active you've been to me,  in an email

KEEEEEEEEEP MOVING!!! Mrs Turner

 

 

PE to watch and do!
 
The lovely Mrs Mason, who ran the Mini Sports Imapct Day and the taught us fantastic playgroung games, is back with more PE fun!!!
 
Mrs Mason has shared some AGILITY activities for you to try at home. We use agility activities to warm up in our invasion game lessons. (Hi 5 Netball, Football, Tag Rugby & Quicksticks Hockey). But WHY?
 
Because the ability to change direction, move fast and react quickly are all skills that good games players need.
