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).

Activity: Track and Field Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 (or more) Today, you’re going to start doing some track and field! If you’re wondering what those words mean, Track is for running (like running a lap around our school field) and the field part is working on different skills. Some TRACK events for this week: Run 100m (sprint) Run 200m (sprint) Run 400m (sprint) “Hurdle” (i.e Jump over a cone, bucket, skipping rope line, etc) Challenge: Run 800m Challenge: Run 1500m Challenge: Relay (or, Banana Relay!) 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:
Here are some photos that help to show some of the events! Activity 4: Your Choice

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 Lyon 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! Activity 1 Warm-Up: The following are choices for warm-ups, you do not need to do this entire list. - Option 1: Visit the “Warm Up & Stretches” page. - Option 2: Visit the Yoga Weekly page - Option 3: It’s BINGO time! Visit the ECE BINGO webpage. You can cross off ONE Bingo item warm-up/activity each day. - Option 4: Visit the Alphabet Warm-Up page and stretch through some words you create! Activity: Horse Shoe activity Today, you’re going to play horseshoe at home (maybe you have real or toy horseshoe…or, you’re going to create a horseshoe game! 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, or 4 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, or 4 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 4: Your Choice Warm-Up: Choose Option 1, 2, 3, or 4 Activity: Your Choice! Take a peak back at this webpage. Look for an activity that you have already completed. Choose one that you really enjoyed, or one you would like to spend more time on.

Activity: Start by seeing if you can make the actions of each Frozen 2 character! Frozen 2: Make your Move https://safeYouTube.net/w/ldPG Today, you will have four options, choose one you would like to do: 1. Create a dance to one of your favourite songs. Pick a song, choose a bunch of different moves, and try to learn/memorize your own routine. This will take you a bunch of practice! I definitely suggest you listen/practice about three times before you do your ‘final’ movements OR perform to your family. 2. Practice the following movements when passing. You can use socks, a soft ball, or any other safe item.
3. If you have one at home, practice throwing and catching your frisbee. If you’d like, you can pretend that you are doing a version of golf with your frisbee. Set out a number of “Golf Holes” (no actual holes required), and count how many throws it takes to get to your new ‘Golf Hole.” 4. If you have them at home, I suggest you play Bocce Ball! If it is raining, roll up your socks, and play bocce inside! Tuesday, May 26th Warm-Up: Choose Option 1, 2, 3, or 4 (see Monday, May 25th for reminders).

This would be a nice way to start your day inside...fingers crossed it will get warm and sunny in the afternoon! IF you would like some more movement suggestions, check out PE with Joe! This is his general page, and you can select a recording he is doing today, or one he did before. He can be funny!

Think about some items of YOUR choice…maybe your favourite animals, hobbies, LEGO characters, sports/games you enjoy (soccer, hockey, dance, skipping), playground time, swings, or many other topics. Next, think about some movements you can link to some of your brainstormed items! Perhaps, you can even invent the actions, and try to get someone in your house guess what you’re pretending to be! Here’s an example of mine: One day, I was visiting the volcano, Mount St. Helens! Just as I got there, it erupted a tiny bit (true story)!! So, I’m going to make an action where I’m pretending to be a volcano erupt (moving my arms up as I jump up high) Have fun creating so many actions!

Here are some suggestions. Definitely change them to fit your neighbourhood: - spot someone walking (not your team) - a person playing basketball - a clover - an eagle, blue-bird, robin, hummingbird (you choose your favourite) - a pink car - a tractor - the number 9 - a white rock - Mount Cheam (this will only be seen on a sunny day) - a soccer ball - a yellow flower - a green truck - an apple tree - a stop sign - a playground If you would like to use an already completed Nature Scavenger Hunt, you can choose one of these:

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 is one video suggestion, but there are many, many more online: https://safeYouTube.net/w/Q1bC Here are some other Ninja Route ideas/suggestions: - 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!

Activity: Alphabet Soup and Cool Down Alphabet Soup
Tuesday, April 28th Warm-Up: Visit the “Warm Up & Stretches” page. Activity: The Bounce Challenge This could be very tricky the first number of times it is done! Stick with it! 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! Here is an example: https://safeYouTube.net/w/HUu7 Wednesday, April 29th Warm-Up: Visit the “Warm Up & Stretches” page OR Visit this GoBananas video: https://safeYouTube.net/w/WnA7 IF you'd like to keep your body moving after the Health Lesson, take a peak into "PE with Joe!"

If you would like to complete some PE activities, please look back on the lessons we’ve already completed and choose to do an activity you’d like to do again. Have fun! 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 (not nice) 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. - teasing - helping - leaving-out/excluding - lying - listening - manipulating - apologizing - name-calling - ignoring - giggling with 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). If you need a reminder, you are welcome to watch this video again: Inside Out: Guessing the Feelings https://safeYouTube.net/w/RHb7 Thursday, April 30th Warm-Up: Visit the “Warm Up & Stretches” page,
