Introduction

Father’s Day is a day dedicated to all dads

and carers, so that we can show our

appreciation and say thank you for the

wonderful job they do.

There are so many ways you can do this, and

the best by far is making something special.

Happy Father’s Day!

Below are some card and gift ideas you can

choose to make for dad or someone special

like a brother, uncle or grandpa. Please also

check other planners (grade prep and grade

5 or 6) to see if another card or gift is more

appropriate for you or your special person!

CARD

Focus There is another copy of the worksheet for creating rhythm patterns below. This week, once you have made your patterns, you will make up a body percussion pattern to do to your music. Repeat each bar 3 times, so that you can build up a good rhythm with it.

Introduction Over the past few weeks we have been learning about striking! This week we are going to use our legs and feet as our object that we are swinging to strike a ball! Firstly, we will warm up our bodies to get us ready for action!

6. Next, glue or use sticky tape to stick the strip in between the two hands. Make sure the hands are placed so that they match up when the card is closed.

Note – if you are having trouble standing the card, fold tabs at the bottom of the hands and you may have to fiddle with the position of the concertina fold. To Easy? Complete optional part in step 5.

Key teaching points: LOOK, STEP, KICK Step 1: For this activity we will need a ball (medium size soccer ball preferable, however any medium ball will work fine) and some goals. Be creative – your goals could be between 2 trees, between 2 garbage bins, between two baskets! Step 2: Set up 5 different lines to kick from around your goal. Start with the lines 2 BIG steps away! You can use anything to mark the lines – if inside use a tea towel and if outside use a stick! Step 3: Starting at a line closest to a corner – place the ball on the line and try to kick the ball between the goals (if you have a backyard this space would be preferable!). Remember the steps to be successful when kicking: Look, Step, Kick! Step 4: If you kick the goal or not, you must move to the next line and try and kick from there. Step 5: Once you have reached the end – How many goals did you kick? Try to beat your score! Once you have scored 5/5 move your lines back to make it trickier! Variation: Have someone in your house being the goalkeeper! How many can you score now? Let them have a try – can they beat your score?

Optional Upload a video of you practicing your kicking skills! Submit it on
