DAILY TIMES TABLE PRACTICE (10 MINUTES DAILY) • We are practicing all of our times tables. This can be done by using Times Table Rocks Stars (you will need your school login) • If you want a change then practice these using pen and paper. - Speed tables - You can race against a family member or play alone (even racing against the clock can be a challenge that really gets competitive-types going!). As you write down your tables, make it a sport and aim for ‘personal bests’. - Bingo! - This is best played with at least three people. Make simple bingo cards with multiples on. Then the caller, call out “nines”, and whoever has 81 dabs it. The person who gets a full house is the caller on the next round. - Throw the dice - Throw two dice and write down the multiplication. If you want to work on tables higher than one to six, use small stickers to change the numbers, or buy twelve-sided dice. The winner is the one with the most correct calculations written down in a given time frame. - Memory game - make some number cards, and write down the corresponding tables calculations onto cut-out card. Make sure the number cards and the tables calculation cards are different shapes so you can distinguish a calculation from a potential answer. Lay all cards upside-down on the floor or desk. First you have to turn over one of the table calculation cards, and then you need to find the number card that is the answer to the calculation. The winner is the player with the most cards once all the overturned cards are gone. - Keep fit challenge - jog on the spot and do different aerobic moves in time to chanting them. • Please visit the Kids Zone on our school, website for more ideas on how to practice these at home.

DAILY PHYSICAL EXERCISE Please make sure that you are completing a 10 minute session of physical activity everyday. Here are some ideas you can use. It is best to decide as a family and spend this time together having fun. Freeze Dance - The rules are simple: dance when the music plays and when the designated DJ stops the music, everyone freezes. Balloon Volleyball - Make a net by tying a piece of string from one chair to another. Then blow up a balloon and start practising those serving skills! Change things up a bit by kicking or head-bumping the balloon. Book-Worm Workout - Pick a book that has a word that’s often repeated. For example, choose the word “hat” if you’re reading The Cat in the Hat. Every time the word comes up in the story, get up to do a jumping jack. Check out Go. Noodle Joe Wicks on Youtube

OR TRY…… Bottle Skittles Aiming skills Equipment: 6 plastic bottles, 6 pairs of socks How to play: Use empty plastic bottles as skittles and set them up approximately 5 meters away from where you are standing spacing them in a row of 3, 2 and then 1. Place a marker down on the floor to create a start line to aim from. This could be a pair of socks laid out on the floor or a teddy on the floor. Use a pair of socks rolled into a ball and try and hit as many skittles as possible. Play with more people by playing against someone else and seeing how many throws it takes to knock all 6 of the skittles over. Skill Tip: stand opposite arm to leg when you start. Use your non-throwing hand to aim at the target Challenges: 1. Fill the skittles with some water, to make them harder to knock over. You will have to throw a little bit harder to knock them over. 2. Move your starter marker further away from the skittles.
