Teaching And Home Schooling Ideas

Go on an animal perspective walk. This was my attempt to make a walk up the lane more interesting to a nearly 8 year old boy! Imagine you are a countryside animal eg fox, bird, butterfly, mouse, hedgehog, bee etc Then take a walk imagining what are the treasures and troubles for the animal. Eg we chose the fox 🦊and talked about the treasures being... Our hens/chickens for food.  Grass is soft to walk on. Mud mound for a den. Field of crops or long grass for hiding when hunting.  Rabbits and hares, prey for food.  We talked about the troubles being...  Farmer/people that they might be frightened of. Gravel lane, could get stones stuck in paws and rough to walk on.  Sticky buds could get stuck in their fur.  Enjoy your walk and let us know what animal you were. 

I've named this the 4 marker challenge!  Use 4 cones or 4 old cloths as a marker.  Set the 4 markers a metre apart from each other some distance from a start line and finish line.  You could use a marker for start and finish lines.  From the start line run to marker one and back, then run to marker two and back, run to 3 and back then 4 and back, then first to finish line is the winner.  If only one child doing it you could time them to get quicker each day.  You can adapt this activity. Eg a) Run to marker 1 and back repeat b) Hop to marker 1 and back repeat c) Use a football and dribble to marker one and back d) Football kick ball to marker 1 and back repeat e) Bounce ball to marker 1 and back f) throw tennis ball at marker 1 and back g) throw tennis ball in air repeatedly as running to marker 1 and back h) if you have a hockey stick dribble hockey ball  to marker 1 and back I) shoot hockey ball to marker 1 and back.
