This week we are going to continue our gymnastics unit of work so find a space at home, let’s start!
Task 1: Remind yourself, what did I do last week?
Answer Hold 3 different large and small base balances and count for 3 elephants.

Task 2: From the video try 2 different ways of rolling.
Parent Tip. Forward roll is optional : If your child is performing a forward roll please make sure their head does not touch the ground when rolling. Head should be tucked in and back round. (Please refer to video for teaching points).
Task 3: Choose your favourite roll and link it to your favourite balance.
Parent Tip: Linking refers to moving into a new balance.
Task 4: Now think of a starting and finishing position. It's like making up a sentence, we start with a capital letter and finish with a full stop. Before your roll start in a tall shape, move into your favourite balance and finish low to the ground like a full stop.
Task 5: Perform your work in front of an audience.
Parent Tip: Please give feedback on the sequence work you have seen.
Useful Links
It is important to stay active and healthy during these times. It is recommended that students participate in 30 minutes of physical activity each day. This could include jogging, running, skipping or practicing ball skills. We have included some links with additional activities and Mrs Travis' workouts from home. (Parent Tip - the workouts can be repeated and your child can choose and decide how many repetitions of an exercise they do) . Children and parents can actively get involved and exercise together.

Fundamental skills challenge
Art - Tuesday
Task: This week, we are starting something special. We are going to use the skills we are getting better at to start to make a card for your Mum (or another special woman), for Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day is on Sunday the 10th of May so we have a couple of weeks to make something really good!
I have given you some templates for different dresses:
Cut out the dress you want to use, this will be your template
Trace around the dress shape (template) onto a piece of coloured paper
Cut out this dress from your coloured paper
Decorate the dress with designs using textas (markers), pencils, crayons or other drawing materials
Extension: Do you know what a pattern is? When you draw the design on the dress try using a pattern.
I will tell you what we are going to make with the dress next lesson. Put your dress in a safe place!
For Parents:
Please talk to your child about what is special about Mothers Day.
If you need to, you can create a card for a Grandmother, Aunty or other special woman.
The dress templates print out at the right size to use. If you don’t have a printer, the dress size is about a ¼ of an A4 piece of paper.
Remember, this is about developing fine motor skills, so it’s important that your child cuts out the dress.
Some instructions for cutting; point scissors up when cutting, don’t move the cutting hand, use the other hand to turn the paper for a more controlled cut.
Extension task: A pattern is a design that repeats itself. If your child grasps this concept well, you could also extend them even further by talking about symmetrical patterns and see what they come up with.
LOTE Italian - Wednesday

Today in Music……..
QUESTIONS: Are there any things about you and your family that are the same? Looks, hair colour, behaviours, accents…….
What differences and similarities can you see in the instruments on the page?
How could you group these instruments together? see attached sheet
Parent hint: What similarities do the instruments have e.g. made of metal, all have strings on, you bang or hit them etc.
The Orchestra is broken down into 4 families and they are: Strings, Woodwind, Brass and Percussion
