create a game for your family to play. You could take inspiration from one of the MSSP activities on Youtube, and even create your own activity video!  Delivering the rules is important so write them down if you think you'll get confused. After you've played the game, think about how it needs to be improved or developed. Did anyone ask questions about the rules because they didn't understand? Was the game too easy/ hard? Was it a good length or could it be made into a longer/ shorter game? You'll need to be clear on these answers for next week's lesson so write them down if you need to, or, in MSSP style, record what happened in a video to watch back next week!  Put the ideas you came up with onto our Year 5 Blog to share with and inspire others! And don’t forget to add it to your PE tracker! Remember, email your completed tracker, or a picture of it, to the year5 home-learning email address, marking it for attention of Mrs Cullen so we can have a look.

Post comments on the Year 5 Blog, especially after looking at other children’s work.

The amount of work we are seeing being sent into the blog is fantastic. What we want to encourage you to do now is leave comments about each other's work. Remember the peer-marking that you all do so well in class? Well, let's get that going on the blog. However, PLEASE make sure you take care over your sentences, including punctuation, capital letters (especially for names!)
