Letter writing:

As a class we are going to write a letter to a resident in a nursing home. Sadly, they cannot have any visitors at this time so I think our letters to them will really cheer them up. If your parent/guardian would prefer you didn’t send a letter that’s ok too, you can just complete it in your copy and we won’t send it. If you like you can type your letter and email it me, take a picture and put it up on seesaw or just write it in your copy, take a picture and send the picture to my email and I’ll type it. Thank you.

Today, just make a draft – what are you going to include in your letter – some ideas include, your name, your school, your hobbies, how you feel about being out of school, what you want to be when you grow up, what school is like for you today (remember, it will be very different from their time in school) and try make it as friendly as possible.

Letter writing: All good letters have an introduction, a middle and an end. Make sure you are following the correct format when writing a letter. It has an address, it says Dear_____, it concluded with yours sincerely/ slán/ Kind regards and then your name. Don’t put your home address on the letters instead use the address of the school Reminder, If you can type your letter and email it to me that would be great if not just write it in your copy, take a picture and send the picture to the email and I’ll type it. Thank you.

Start your letter – This is the introduction – write the addresses in the correct place, the date and Dear _____, (leave this blank as the nursing home will fill in a name) and then tell them all about you.

Continue your letter – work on the middle– this is the main section of your letter, so maybe you can talk about your life, what school is like, what class you’re in, where you’re going to school next year, what you want to be when you grow up, how you feel about our current situation with Covid 19 and any other relevant information.

PE Exercises

It’s important to be staying active even if you are just at home. If possible youtube ‘the body coach classroom workouts’. These are really good and you can exercise along to your favourite music too! Ensure you’re getting at least 60 minutes exercise each day – if you don’t have access to the workouts – go for a walk or cycle, play football in the garden, use the trampoline or just follow the exercises attached . Most of all have fun

1. Mountain ClimbersGet into a push-up position and then alternate bringing your knee to your elbow. You can do same side connections or crisscross. The idea is to move fast and work up a sweat!2. Bear CrawlsPalms and feet flat on the floor, arch your back so that you look like a big bear. Race across the room. 3. Star JumpsStand tall and then explosively jump into the air, expanding your legs and your arms so that you look like a large “X” in the air. 4. Push UpsStraightforward and to the point. Drop to the knee if you find this challenging!5. Sit UpsAnother classic. Feel free to tuck your toes under the sofa or coffee table if you need a bit of support. 6. BurpeesWho is up for the challenge? Start with a jump up, then drop to a plank, add a push-up, and then jump back up. It should be one fluid motion and try to not pause between repetitions. Make it a bit easier by opting out of the push up if you need to.7. SquatsTo do this one, stand with your feet shoulder’s width apart, and do deep knee bends. Make sure keep your knees behind your toes and your arms out straight.8. Leg RaisesLay on your side or on your back and then lift your legs without bending at the knee. Try to hold at the top. This works your lower abdominals, but be careful to not let your lower back arch.9. LungesStep forward and bend your front knee to a 90-degree angle. The goal is to have your back knee touch the ground without letting your front knee extend past your toes. 10. PlanksElbows on the floor and balanced on your tiptoes. 30 seconds is considered the gold standard. 11. Butterfly Kicks

10

Lay flat on your back, and extend your legs straight out. Imagine a swimmer, and begin to flutter kick your legs without bending at the knee. Start with your feet high off of the floor, as the move gets more difficult the closer the action is to the floor.
