Topic
PELO: To create and complete an obstacle course.
Due to school being closed to the majority of children since March, we have missed out on our annual sports day. So, we thought it would be nice for you to set up your own obstacle course at home, like the ones we do on sports day. You might set up a throwing station, a running station and a jumping station. It is totally up to yourself.
You could use washing baskets and toys to create your obstacle course like the one below.

Your job for today is to write a letter to the year 1 children who are coming into year 2 in September telling them all about what year 2 is like.

Think about what you wanted to know about year 2 before you moved up.
Don’t forget to start your letter with ‘Dear ______’ and end it with ‘Yours sincerely (your name).’
You could use the letter template below.

You all have lots of amazing achievements this year! Today we would like you to think about everything you have achieved this year and choose the thing that you are most proud of.

It could be something they have been really good at or it could be something they have done for someone that makes them a good friend. Below is a template of a blank certificate that we would like you to complete for a friend.
