Get Set Go

Today we did more jumping.
We remembered to ...
use our rocket arms
to reach for the sky
and land like a feather

Today we practised being Jack in the Boxes. We held a bean bag between our knees to make it harder.

The game we played was called 'Sharks and Islands'.
We had boundaries and some hoop islands. The fish had to jump around the sea and were able to rest on the island for a count of 3 before jumping off again. 2 sharks were trying to tag us while we were in the sea. It was fun.
