| Think of some familiar stories. Note down the story and the key events. These are the parts that you think are important and exciting. (You could make a simple chart). Pick one and create a headline. | ||

Foundation Subjects
| Subject | PE | |
| Learning Objective/Focus: | To develop basic aiming skills. | |
| Main input (explanation) | Warm up by playing the beans game. Practice travelling in different ways. You could run, jog, skip, hop, jump, walk or crawl. | |
| Activities | Create a target. This could be on the floor or using a bucket or box. Use a ball or bean bag to aim at your target. How many times can you hit the target in a minute? Take turns with someone else, who can reach the target the most? What about if you move the target closer or further away? | |
| In this next activity you will be planting and digging up seeds. You will need some objects to bury as seeds and some paper or cloths to use as the soil. Hide some of the seeds under the soil. Then with one seed go to an empty spot, move like you are digging a hole and bury your seed. Then go to a buried seed and dig it up to replant it. How quickly can you re-bury all the seeds? Why not ask someone else to join you and see who can move the most seeds? Don’t forget the digging movements! | ||
| Play some stormy music and move in ways it makes you feel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVKEM4K8J8A | ||

Wishing you all a great day.
