Task 3: Task 6: Task 9: SEESAW Task 12: Task 15: SEESAW

Design a sports kit for your

favourite sport!

Using items from around your

house (household items or junk

from the recycling), create a

plan/design of how you could

use these items to recreate a

sport which already exists.

Using your plan/design from

yesterday, set up and have a go

at playing your sport with your

siblings or adults at home.

Upload a photo or video of

playing your sport to Seesaw.

Every Olympics is hosted by a

different city. Pick a city which

information about the country

that city is in (e.g. London 2012 –

UK, Rio 2016 – Brazil).

Watch the video on Seesaw as a

reminder of the different food

groups. To keep fit and healthy,

sportsmen and women usually

eat a nutritious and balanced

Task 1: Write a commentary for this Brownlee brother race clip. You can upload your written

commentary or record you saying your commentary on Seesaw.

Example

Here is an example of a commentary of a race. This race shows Usain Bolt winning a gold medal at

the London 2012 Olympics. Read through the commentary below:

Bolt is looking up to the sky, doing his prayer ritual. The racers are getting themselves prepared and

are waiting for the starting gun. They’re off! Gatlin has made a quick start, Bolt is sprinting with ease.

Usain Bolt fires ahead like a bullet out of a gun. He’s done it! Bolt has come in at first place making

history. Wow.

Now that you have read the above commentary you can watch the clip and listen to what the actual

commentators said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVTqySCtzVI

Your turn

You need to watch the clip until the end of the race. Then watch it again, this time on mute so that

you can think of your own commentary. You may need to pause the clip in places as you write down

your ideas. Make sure that you are writing in the present tense as though you are talking about the

race as it actually happens.

These two athletes are brothers, Alistair and Jonny. In the clip Alistair is helping his brother Jonny

over the finish line, rather than trying to win the race himself.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/triathlon/52388142

Don’t forget to upload your commentary to Seesaw. You can take a photo of your writing, type it

onto Seesaw or record your voice.

Task 2

Look at the mini sportspeople on the next page. Can you order them from shortest to tallest? You might want to cut them out very carefully to help.

Now, using a ruler or tape measure (there is a printable ruler on the website if you need it) can you measure them in cm? Record your answers below.

Name Height (cm)

Shortest Tallest

Challenge yourself!

How much taller is Michael than Simone?

How much shorter is Laura than Harry?

How much taller is Usain than Laura?

Can you draw your own 12cm sportsperson? Remember to use

your ruler.

Can you draw a sportsperson who is shorter than Simone, how tall

might they be?

Can you find out what they are all famous for?

Can you find out how tall they are in real life?

Task 6:

Using items from around your house (household items or junk from the recycling), create a

plan/design of how you could use these items to recreate a sport which already exists (e.g. to play

tennis you could use cereal boxes to make rackets and a blanket or towel to make a net).

Use the planning sheet below to help:

What sport have you chosen to recreate?

What equipment do you normally need to play the sport?

What household items or recycling will you use instead of this equipment?

How is the sport played and are there any specific rules in the game?

Draw a picture of your plan/ design below:

Bramley Church of England Primary

Task 7: Write instructions for a sport/game. You could do some drawings to support your

instructions.

Example:

How to have an egg and spoon race.

Things you’ll need:

- Egg

- Spoon

1. First, get a spoon and an egg. Gently, balance the egg on the spoon and hold the handle

tightly. You cannot touch the egg.

2. Then stand at the start line.

3. When the whistle goes, you must run or walk carefully from the start line to the finish line. If

you drop your egg you must stop, pick it up and put it back on your spoon before moving again.

5. The first person over the finish line with their egg on their spoon wins.

Remember to use imperative verbs (bossy verbs) eg. run, throw, jump and adverbs eg. quickly,

cautiously, gently, quietly

Task 8:

The Tokyo Olympics need your help! They are trying to organise the Olympics for next year and they

need you to do some maths to help them get organised!

You will need to use your knowledge of counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s to help. If you are in Year 2, you

should be using your times table facts to help you and counting in 2’s, 5’s or 10’s if you don’t know

that number fact.

If you find this hard, you could get someone at home to help you write out your 2’s, 5’s and 10’s and

use this to help you solve the problems.

The Jamaican running team are sending 8 athletes to the Olympics. How many trainers in total

should they have ready?

There are 10 people in each swimming team. There will be 7 teams at the Olympics. How many

swimmers will be arriving?

Each gymnast in the American team drinks 5 bottles of water per day! There are 5 gymnasts in the

team. How many bottles of water do they drink altogether?

7 Olympic boxers will be competing in the games. How many gloves will be needed in total for the

boxers?

Challenge! Can you make up your own Olympic problems using your knowledge of 2’s, 5’s and

10’s?

Task 9:

Using your plan/design from yesterday, set up and have a go at playing your sport with your siblings

or adults at home. Upload a photo or video to Seesaw!

Fill out the evaluation sheet below on how it went:

1) What sport did you recreate?

____________________________________________________________________________

2) What worked well?

3) Did anything not work so well?

4) Did you enjoy playing this game, if so why; if not, why not?

Task 10:

Write a letter to Mr Moore persuading him to let you start a new sports club. Pick a club that you

think could be fun, be as inventive as you like.

Example:

To Mr Moore,

I am writing to ask you if we can have a new club. We have lots of great clubs, but I feel that we are

missing one that would be a lot of fun.

I think we should have a hopping club at school so that we stay active and healthy. It is important to

be active to keep your heart fit. I like to hop because it is a challenge and it is harder than jumping.

I will make sure that the children are very sensible at our club. I understand that our safety is

important to you so we will only hop outside and we will stay to one side of the playground away

from everyone else.

It would be really great if you let us have a hopping club. I hope to see you at school soon.

From,

Bill

Remember to:

- write the name of the person you are writing to

- have an introduction explaining why you are writing

- include your opinion (I think, I want, I believe…)

- explain why using conjunctions (because, so that, rather than)

- tell Mr Moore all the good things about your club and remember to think about things that

matter to him like safety, cost of equipment, learning…

- include your name at the end

Write the letter in your home schooling book.

Task 11:

Fitness Challenge!

Today we are going to collect some data. Data is information which helps us to answer a question.

When we collect data, we have to record it in a neat and organised way. We are going to record it in

a table today.

Your challenge is to see how many of a particular exercise you can do in 10 seconds. You will need a

stopwatch or timer or someone from home to time you. You will need to count how many of that

exercise you managed to do before the timer went off and record it in your table. Be honest and

make sure you do the exercises properly, as we will be presenting this data in a block diagram

tomorrow, so any HUGE numbers will be very tricky to work with!

Task 12:

Every Olympics is hosted by a different city. Pick a city which has previously hosted the Olympics and

find out more information about the country that city is in (e.g. London 2012 – UK, Rio 2016 – Brazil).

Use the fact finding sheet below to help with your research.

What is the national flag? (Draw the flag below)

What is the capital city?
