Here are some physical exercise ideas from Mr Ritchie. There are also some word documents for you to print out underneath.
CATCHING
Here is Mr Ritchie practising his catching skills at home. All he needed was a ball, a wall and a partner. If you don’t have any balls at home, try and find something similar that is safe to be thrown and caught!
All of the activities that Mr Ritchie has shared can be made easier or harder, here are some ways to change it up:
-
Do it slowly to make it easier, do it quicker to make it harder
-
Do it closely to make it easier, do it further away to make it harder
-
Focus on just one of the skills at a time if you are finding it tricky, try and do all the skills in a row without making a mistake for a challenge
-
Do some timed challenges to test yourself, see how many times you can do each of the skills in the video in 1 minute. Then try and beat your best score!
Hopefully you can find some time to practise your catching skills each day!
Dribbling/Bouncing Skills
To be able to work on your dribbling/bouncing skills at home, all you need is some type of ball that will bounce back up to you (e.g. basketball, soccer ball etc.) and an area that is relatively flat.
In the video, there is some basic information about how to dribble a ball with some demonstrations of different activities to try!
All of these activities can be modified to make harder or easier depending on your skill level! It would be great for you to take these basic drills and then create some of your own once you feel confident enough!

What happens to our body when we are active?
Here is an activity for you to do at home about keeping your body active .
Have a look at the activity page and follow the tasks. I wonder if there are any other ways you might keep your body active at home? Do you play a sport? Walk your dog?
Have fun with the learning activity and have a great day!
