Active Challenges

Scarlett did a brilliant job at completing the 60 second active challenges each day last week. She had lots of fun with her family setting-up the challenges, timing the 60 seconds and scoring her personal achievements. It’s great to see you having such a wonderful time and keeping active!

  Scarlett scored a massive 43 on the leg tucks!

She put her stamina to the test and scored an amazing 53 on the obstacle course!

 

 She scored a brilliant 41 on the around the world challenge using a shuttlecock!

And she also scored 51 on the clap and catch challenge and a great 44 on the step ups challenge! What incredible scores Scarlett! You really have shown great determination and had a lot of fun in the process.

Now you’re perfectly prepared to take part in the amazing Virtual STW School Games challenges we’re sharing each week. This week are two dodgeball activities- good luck!

Weekly Challenge

This week, we would like you to create a general knowledge quiz which you could use with your family. Think carefully about who you are writing the quiz for and what questions you will include. You could even organise your questions into categories to test different subject areas – remember to keep the answers secret!

Send us a photo of your quiz (and the answers) so that we can test our knowledge too!

We look forward to seeing what brilliant questions you can come up with.

Active Challenges

This week, Ellie-Mae has been taking part in the 60 second active challenges. She managed to get an incredible 49 throws in 60 seconds for the clap and catch challenge! She also extended herself and put her skills to the test by adapting today’s obstacle challenge and completed it while balancing a ball on a spoon.

Well done Ellie-Mae! It’s brilliant to see you keeping active and challenging yourself.

You’ll be perfectly prepared for the exciting virtual sports festival (where you can compete alongside other schools) that will be launching on the school website next week!

Weekly challenge

Naabea has completed this week’s challenge and created an excellent, interactive cereal design! It’s very creative and clear that she’s put a lot of thought into it. She’s created a catchy name, considered the quantities of the ingredients and even included some 3* reviews to show customers how great her product is.

Thank you Naabea for sharing your brilliant design with us!

Keep sending updates and photos to:

60 Second Active Challenges

Are you up for the challenge?

Each day this week I’d like you to have a go at a 60 second active challenge. Time 60 seconds and see how high you can score! What personal best can you achieve? Can you even achieve bronze, silver or gold?

Monday: Around the World Challenge       Miss Whitehouse’s score: 36 (I used a pillow) 

Tuesday: Tuck In Tuck Out Challenge      Miss Whitehouse’s score: 17 (tired legs now!)

Wednesday: Catch and Clap Challenge  Miss Whitehouse’s score: 38 (I used a teddy)*

Thursday: Step Ups Challenge   Miss Whitehouse’s score: 32 (try to get into a rhythm)**

Friday: Obstacle Challenge        Miss Whitehouse’s score: 29 (now to tidy up!) 

Keep a record of your score each day (or ask an adult to) then share with me how well you’ve done. Can you set a record for your year group?

I’ll update the post each day with my score. Can you challenge me?

Email your name, base and achievements (and photos as I’d love to see you in action!) to: april.whitehouse@taw.org.uk

Stay Active! Stay Healthy!

 

* for the catch and clap challenge I used a balloon first and scored 29, so I tried using a teddy to challenge myself and got a new personal best!

 

** I tried this 8 times! My personal best was 32 and my legs couldn’t physically move up and down the step any quicker! I’m very curious whether anyone can achieve silver (or even gold) because my tired legs are telling me that it’s impossible!

Home updates

Miss Morgan and I have received some great photos from Harley and Sophie showing us some of the lovely things they’ve been up to.

Harley looks very proactive balancing his outdoor time with his indoor learning! He’s been keeping fit doing PE with Joe, using Twinkl resources to practise his maths skills and then putting his gardening skills to the test out in the sun!

Sophie has been making the most of the sun with her little sister. They’ve been baking some cakes and going for nice walks with their dog. It’s lovely to see your happy faces.

Thank you both for sending in your fab photos- we love seeing what you’re all up to!

Amazing video!

This morning we received a brilliant video from Alyssa in response to the video that the school shared on the website yesterday. It was SUCH a lovely video and an extremely thoughtful idea! It featured lovely messages from some familiar faces and a series of photos to show what great memories they’ve made at Apley.

Thank you to: Alyssa, Harley, Callum, Kassy, Chelsea, Grace, Sophie, Lauren, Evie, Danielle and Naabea for being part of such an amazing video!

It’s lovely things like this that keep us smiling!
