PE 1 - Keepy uppy challenge - Challenge your inner Messi, Heather Knight or Andy Murray; how many keepy uppies can you do using a football, cricket bat and ball, or tennis racket and ball? 2 - 30 second challenge - Choose an exercise (press up, sit up, star jumps, or choose your own). How many can you do in 30 seconds? Can you beat your score the following week? 3 - Create your own fitness session - Use Joe Wicks as inspiration, can you make your own 15 minute fitness session and share it with your family? 4 - Defy gravity - for this game, you will need two balloons (blown up), a stop watch and a partner. The rules are simple: release the two balloons and do all you can to stop them from hitting the floor, you can use your hands, feet, knees, even your head. Just don’t let the balloons hit the floor. See how long you can keep the balloons from hitting the floor! See if you can beat your partners time. You could make this game harder by using more balloons.

5 - Drop game - For this game you will need a partner and two balls (tennis balls are ideal, but you could use ping pong balls, or two rolled up pairs of socks). Your partner holds both tennis balls out in front of them and drops them randomly. Your job is to catch the ball before it hits the floor. Take 5 turns, then swap with your partner. To make the game harder, the person catching the ball can put their hands level with the person dropping the ball, or behind their back.

6 - This summer was supposed to be the Olympic and para-Olympic games in Tokyo, Japan. Why not do some research around the history of the Olympic Games, and have a go at recreating some iconic moments from games (Usain Bolt winning Gold, Super Saturday at the London games)? olympic.org will be a useful place to look. 7 - Have a look at Dynamos cricket app for lots of cricket related activities that you can do at home. If you don’t have a cricket bat, you could use a tennis racket.

This week’s theme is landscapes.

The artist we are looking at is Raoul Dufy.

Raoul Dufy was a French painter, furniture designer and print maker. He painted in the Fauvist style. The Fauves

were a group of artists who used strong colours and bold outlines in their paintings. They were given the name by an

art critic who, on seeing their work, said that they painted like wild beasts. Dufy is known for his brightly coloured

and highly decorated scenes depicting the pleasurable aspects of everyday life. He created airy washes of light and

shade, into which he would draw bold calligraphic brushstrokes. He ignored the traditional ideas of perspective by

using bright colours in the distance, often making them into decorative patterns.

Dufy loved colour and said,

“Blue is the only colour which maintains its own character in all its tones it will always stay blue, whereas yellow is

blackened in its shades, and fades away when lightened; red when darkened becomes brown, and diluted with white

is no longer red, but another colour—pink.”

Landscape Activity.

1.

Make a frame for your painting using masking tape. Then, using one of the Raoul Dufy paintings sketch out your landscape. Don’t add any detail just draw the fields and the sky.

2.

Now paint your fields. You can do a bit of colour mixing to make your work look a little more lifelike. I have added some orange to my corn fields. Paint the sky by adding different shades of blue and keeping the colours nice and strong.

3.

Let your painting dry. Take a black pen and add marks to create different texture. Always use the same mark to complete one field. Keep your mark making close together and detailed.

4.

When you have finished peel away the masking tape to reveal your masterpiece! Which one of Raoul Dufy’s pictures do you think I used as my inspiration?

Other ideas

Take your art outside and make a drawing or a painting of a landscape near you.

Tear or cut strips of paper out of a magazine and create your own collaged landscape.

Take a photograph of a landscape near you. How does the landscape change throughout the day? Does it look different in the morning and in the evening?

Draw an imaginary landscape. Think about somewhere you might like to visit if you could go anywhere in the world.
