Individual home learning
Next week, it our whole school Sports Week, which we are very excited about. As part of preparing for this, we would like you to focus on it for your homework.
- Next week, you are permitted to wear sportswear for the week. Your PE kits are coming home so that you can wear these for some of the time. Please make sure you are prepared for this and come to school ready to get active!
- We are raising money over the week for some new sports equipment for the school. Year 5 have the challenge of counting our steps, as a year group, and seeing how many times we can walk up and down Mount Everest! Please ask people to sponsor you for this challenge.
- In year five, we are going to be focusing on why athletes retire earlier than most other jobs. We would like you to find out two famous athletes (this can be from any sport of your choice). One of them must be someone who you admire, who is currently still competing in their sport. The other must be someone who has retired from the sport.
Questions to help your research:
- Find out basic facts about them (name, date of birth, sport that they are competing in)
- If they are retired, what made them retire? Was it choice? Was there a reason?
- Nutrition – what do they eat to stay fit?
- Health – how do they maintain their fitness? What is their daily routine?
- What are they particularly famous for?
Please bring your research with you next week, ready for Sports Week.
We are really looking forward to challenging ourselves and working together next week.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs Forbes, Mr Stott, Miss Downey and Mr Peters
