Keep your eyes peeled for dry-ish skies to do the running parts..though, it is totally fine to run in the rain!! Many of the 'Fields' events can be done in a garage, barn, a covered patio, etc. Make sure to find a safe area, and choose the correct item to work with (do not pick items that will hurt or damage items).

Challenge: Fast Walk **You do not need to measure these out perfectly. You can use maps.google.com to look for some safe running areas. On google maps, you can measure how far your general ‘start and finish’ can be. If you wanted to use an actual track, both Sardis Senior Secondary and Chilliwack Senior Secondary have tracks. Chilliwack has a rock type track, and Sardis has a rubber track. Some FIELD events for this week:
This video gives a very quick reminder of some of the above events: https://safeYouTube.net/w/ppKJ Warm-ups: Start by running lightly for 2 minutes in one spot. After doing that, you’ve warmed your body up. Now, you should do a few stretches (you can look at our Yoga page for some suggestions). Perhaps you remember some of the stretches we’ve done in class! It’s a great day to do a number of leg stretches. Daily Task:

I hope this finds everyone doing well! This website will continue to be updated weekly. Instead of listing one activity for each school day, this website will list a number of "Activities." There might be more than 5 suggestions per week, but you do not have to do everything listed! Some of the suggestions will remain consistent each week (choice, yoga, online suggestions for rainy days). Make your choices and keep yourself active each week! Have fun, and thanks for your hard work! Sarah Side Note- On Friday's, if you would like to meet in TEAM to chat, I would love that! Please send an email if you would like to say/type a hello!

If you need to make horseshoes/goal, here is a quick plan: -Create horseshoe shapes out of Lego or Giant Lego (these will likely need to be remade a few times). OR -Glue three popsicle sticks together, let them dry until tomorrow **So, today you can do GaGa Ball or a choice activity). OR -You could cut up cardboard into a horseshoe shape. Goal: -Find a water bottle or pop can, fill that full of rocks or sand, so it stands up firmly. You will be throwing your horseshoe at the goal. If you get the horseshoe around the waterbottle/popcan, you get 3 points. If it is within a ruler length of the goal, you get 1 point. *You can build only one horseshoe! You throw it two times, and your partner throws two times as well. *Count your points if you’d like (not necessary) Here is a quick, funny, casual explanation of the game: Horseshoe: https://safeYouTube.net/w/2vWH Activity 2 Warm-Up: Choose Option 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 Weekly Goal: GaGa Ball Pit Today, you’re going to invent your own GaGa pit! If you do this inside, you can use pillows, pieces of the couch, blankets, backsides of chairs, or any other item that is easy to move (and be prepared to help clean up). If you are outside, you can create it with logs, wood, chairs, rope lines, hay, or any other safe item. Start with quite a number of people in the pit, and a soft/bouncy ball. This will be just like GaGa at school! Here is a reminder for traditional GaGa Ball (remember, yours will be different today). Just make sure you are creating this pit with SAFE items and adult supervision/participation. GaGa Ball Video: https://safeYouTube.net/w/1bWH Activity 3 Warm-Up: Choose Option 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 Weekly Goal: Create your own Soccer! Today, you’re going to create your own soccer goal (one goal, or two…depending on the number of people available). 1.You can use any ball that you have, and pretend it is a soccer ball. Here are some tasks to practice: - kick the ball with dominant foot - kick the ball with your non-dominant foot - kick the ball back and forth from foot to foot - kick the ball and move forward (dominant foot, non dominant foot, back and forth) 2.Now, create your goal! You can use so many different items to make a goal: -cones -garbage cans -pylons -other sports pieces (basketballs, golf sticks, waterbottles, etc). Shoot, and score! 3.Next, stand a certain distance and practice taking a shot on net with some more complex steps before the net. After you’ve tried that, use some of the dominant, non-dominant, foot-passing moves as you approach the goal) 4.If you’re wanting to learn more and more, that’s awesome! You can send me an email for more suggestions, or ask your parents to check out You-Tube videos to learn some new soccer foot movements! 5.Challenge someone in your house! You can play with just one goal, and make it both the goal you both want to score on. Remember, you can’t touch the ball! Now, you try to score/defend, and the other person will also try to score/defend the net. 6.Most important, have a blast and BE A GOOD SPORT!

Activity: Frisbee/Disc Golf Goal: To score your frisbee into your invented ‘goal.’ To play, you will need a frisbee, or any item that throws and lands well (bean bags, golf ball, wiffle ball, items that do not tend to bounce). You will also need a “golf hole” like a large bucket, hula-hoop, rope shaped in a circle, ice cream lid, or any other creative round item. Please remember…your ‘golf hole’ will move around. Overall, you only need one frisbee (or ball), and one golf hole/goal. So, your goal! To see how many throws it takes (like golf) to get your item into the ‘golf hole.’ In the game of golf, you can choose to play 9 holes or 18 holes. Each time your item landed into the hole, switch things around! Move your goal, and throw from where your score last landed. Side note: near FG Leary Elementary, there is a park called Walden Park. Walden Park has a Disc Golf course. When it is safe to touch it, you can go check it out! In the future, it would be neat to play! I’ll keep my eyes peeled for more for you guys! **If you would like, here are two different Frisbee Golf score cards (pick your preference)

Today and tomorrow, you’re going to train to be a ninja! Now, it will take a lot of practice, a bunch of imagination, some creation, and of course…safety! After Monday and Tuesday are all done, you’ll be the kindest professional Ninja’s I’ve ever met! If you’re wondering…what does Ms. Lyon want us to do to be a Ninja?? Right below, you will find some suggestions. PLEASE use your safety, but also...use your best imagination to create some ninja skill ideas. Tomorrow, you’ll be doing this again, but, maybe you want to change your route, add to it, make it harder, etc! If you want, you can even do your Ninja course multiple times each day! You’ll notice that your practice makes you a faster and faster Ninja! I suggest making your course outside if the weather is nice! Here are two video suggestions: Obstacle Ninja Course 1: Only watch until 4:30 for ideas: https://safeyoutube.net/w/6meC Obstacle Ninja Course 2: https://safeYouTube.net/w/Q1bC Here are some other Ninja Route ideas/suggestions: These are just brainstormed ideas…go ahead and brainstorm a bunch of your own! - Use your pool noodles to make hurdles - Make yourself an obstacle course to speed through (around cans, frisbees, golf clubs, etc) - Place four paper plates down. Two are for your hands, two for your feet. Make your body move from your decided ‘start line’ to an ‘end line.’ In order to move, you have to slide your hands forward, then pulls legs/feet on plates up to meet your hands on the plate. Continue until you’ve made it to your end line. - Safely climb up your chain fence and down. - Place green painters tape on a wall. Make it lower than your height. If you do a lower height, you could do a wall plank or wall squat, but, make yourself move across the line doing those! - Place a ladder or skipping ropes down, make yourself move through them using a double foot jump. - Cut the bottom of cardboard boxes out, crawl through those or a cloth tunnel. - Create a move over/under area (can use noodles to go on top of the chair, or on the support under a chair). - SO many more. Brainstorm, Google, YouTube! These are just a few I brainstormed, and you can do it too! Anything you make is awesome! Tuesday, May 12th Warm-Up: Choose Option 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (see Monday, May 11th for reminders). Activity: Repeat Monday. You can definitely change your course from yesterday! Try new things! If you’d like, you can time yourself and see how fast you can complete your whole Ninja course! You do not have to do this…I like safety and fun as the #1 priority. Here’s a little tip…after you’re all done your Ninja time, make sure you’re being verrrrry good at correctly and kindly putting all your items away. Your parents will be very appreciative of that! Wednesday, May 13th Warm-Up: Choose Option 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (see Monday, May 11th for reminders).

Even if the ball doesn’t bounce for you after you’ve tried this lesson, a great and positive effort is the total win! Materials/Preparing: Find something like a bouncy ball, tennis ball, or another small ball. Next, find a number of safe nature or indoor items of a variety of sizes (pots, pans, buckets, sand area plastic shovel, paper bags, etc). You will need a solid floor, driveway, or a solid porch for this to work. Your challenge: Take a number of items and arrange them in a “course.” Your goal is to take your bouncy ball items and throw it safely against the first item in your course. Your ball will bounce back (which will also change depending on how hard you throw it). You want your ball to bounce off your second item and bounce into a third item. This will take awhile to build and learn how hard to throw the item. But remember, trying and being patient is a win! Even if the first part of the course (or even the whole course) doesn’t work, but you’ve tried so many times, you’ve won!

Activity: Health Education Behaviours in Friendships and Families Earlier, we learned about a variety of feelings. Today we’ll learn about them again, but how they are linked to interactions with other people. In friendships and families, we should show and feel kind and caring behaviours. It would be nice for people to share, listen, and be helpful. These are called positive behaviours. They will make you feel happy. They are a nice feeling. Sometimes, people are mean or hurtful to others. These types of behaviours are called negative behaviours. These behaviours make us feel sad or confused. Discuss the following behaviours. Have a conversation around whether these behaviours make people feel positive (happy) or negative (not happy). You may share a time you’ve felt these ways. Choice: on a piece of paper, create a T chart where one side is for POSITIVE behaviours and the other side is for NEGATIVE behaviours. You are more than welcome to add behaviours you may think of. - consideration - teasing - including - helping - honesty - leaving-out/excluding - lying - listening - excluding - manipulating - apologizing - name-calling - ignoring - giggling with a person (vs at a person) - sharing Now, use this time to think about last weeks lesson. Discuss how the emotions above (teasing, helping, etc) would make you FEEL. Would they make you feel happy, sad, scared, silly, etc).

Warm-Up: Visit the “Warm Up & Stretches” page Activity: Indoor/Outdoor “Basketball” All you need is a bucket and a rolled-up sock (or a small, light ball). Each player takes a turn at throwing the sockball into the bucket. When a player scores, they must take a step back and throw again until they miss. The player who shoots the ball in the bucket from the furthest distance away wins. If you would like, you can also incorporate “HAWKS” into your game. If you throw and get it in, take a step back. If you throw and miss, start to spell “HAWKS” and give yourself an H. If you score again, take a step back. If you miss again, add an “A” to your “HAWKS” word. Have fun! Tuesday, April 21st Warm-Up: Visit the “Warm Up & Stretches” page Activity: The Pillow High Jump (make sure to clean-up after you have played this game) Gather a number of pillows in your house. Practice jumping with both your feet next to each other at the same time (not one foot ahead of the other foot). For balance, lift your arms above your head. Start by jumping over one pillow. Add another pillow and jump over those two pillows by keeping a proper format and NOT knocking over the pillow(s). If they are not knocked over, add another pillow. Continue and see how many pillows you can SAFELY add and jump over. If you would like to add another fun challenge…head outside and practice pretending you have a hurdle. Watch this video https://safeYouTube.net/w/Oao6 and complete the suggested ideas. Here’s the challenge about completing this activity…you likely don’t have hurdles at home, and that’s okay! PRETEND you are doing the activities with a hurdle. You could place a line on the ground and imagine it was a raised hurdle. Just, have fun! Wednesday, April 22nd: EARTH DAY!! After completing the following lesson, take yourself for a lovely Earth Day walk. Look around and enjoy all the beautiful mountains, trees, flowers, and water areas we have in Chilliwack! Thinking About Feelings Today, we’re going to start by looking at some feelings. The following video shows very general, but important emotions. Watch the video below, and then discuss the following questions: - How did each of these situations make the characters feel? - Could some of the feelings been shown/felt differently? - How would you have felt in these situations? (The same as the character, or maybe a different emotion than them?) - Brainstorm and discuss some more emotions. Identify emotions that were NOT in the video.
