PE CHALLENGE!

The Phys-Ed team (myself, Mr. Orr and Mr. Beresford) have decided to run a competition amongst all students at SJA! Each Wednesday there will be a physical challenge that ends the following Tuesday. If a photo or video is sent to me, you automatically get 100 house points!! On Tuesday next week, we will be choosing a winner from JK-2, 3-6, 7-10. The winner will be chosen based on your ability to properly do the skill and how long you do the skill for. The winner will get 1000 house points!

This week’s challenge is the plank! JK-2 may try the “bird dog”. Try to do a plank for 60 seconds!! You can start with 10 seconds today, try 20 seconds tomorrow, and work your way up to a minute!

Music:

I loved seeing the pictures of the musical instruments that you made at home!  Today for music class we will begin by:

1. Clapping Food Rhythms.  For example, clap "ta, ta" and say "Ice cream" and clap,"ta, titi" and say "hamburger." The last row of rhythms clap "tika tika ti ti" and say "pepperoni pizza". Next class I will send you a video where you can watch me clap these rhythms and you can clap with me!

2. Practice singing along to your favourite "Frozen 2" songs or "Disney" songs, or a song of your choice with the new instrument that you made.  Have fun keeping in time to the music.

3. With chalk go outside and draw some of the following rhythms on the sidewalk or driveway.  Have fun! If you do not have chalk you can practice drawing your rhythms on paper with crayon or marker, or make your music notes with playdough.

Next music class you will be able to sing along to my you tube video for you to sing some of your favorite songs with me at home!

French:

We are going to start off with a little game that I made on the Powerpoint to review previous spring vocabulary. Make sure to play the game in full screen and follow the instructions carefully. Please check out the link here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f2rTPsunzxUEsUsxAypZS9-HrGmeh2qh/view?usp=sharing

Today, we will discuss what we see (Je vois...), smell (Je sens...), and hear (J'entends...) during spring. I have added some new words in there. Please check out this video and practice saying along with me 🙂: https://youtu.be/B31Kc21YLtw
