PE
If you fancy taking part in some physical activities at home have a look at ‘Real PE’. The school uses these resources and now the company have offered parents an opportunity to try some of the activities at home during school closures.
It’s really simple:
Log into:
The website address is: home.jasmineactive.com
Parent email: parent@howardprim-1.com
Password: howardprim
Then choose which activity you would like the children to take part in. There are a variety of activities you can do throughout the day if you wish.
If you log onto facebook and join their closed group-you can then post photos of you and the family taking part in these activities. They have weekly competitions with winners announced on their facebook page. There are all sorts of different prizes so have a go!

Writing tasks
Day 1 – Retell the story using 3rd person.
Day 2 – Write the dialogue between Fox and Dr. Hammer adding correct punctuation.
Day 3 – Write the next adventure of Spy Fox using a different wild animal as the villain and including equally inept minions. We quite like the idea of a huge Ape – like King Louis in The Jungle Book – with cheeky monkey minions.
Day 4 – Create a newspaper report for the events outlined in the film.
Day 5 – Design a ‘Bond-like’ gadget that fox could use in his missions.
