PE: Today you are going to ‘jump!’

Jumps build muscle strength, cardiovascular fitness and endurance. Try

these:

Jumping Jacks: stretch arms and legs out to the side like a starfish

while jumping; on the second jump, return arms to sides and legs to

centre on landing

Tuck Jumps: bend knees and lift heels high while jumping

Hurdle Hops: jump side-to-side or front-to-back over pretend hurdle

One-Foot Hops: lift one knee and jump on standing leg; alternate

(this is a great balance challenge too!)

Criss-Cross Feet: jump straight up, then cross one foot in front of the

other; on next jump, switch feet and continue

Have fun! Laughing is also good for you.

Hope is the thing with feathers

‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul,

And sings the tune without the words,

And never stops at all.

And sweetest in the Gale is heard;

And sore must be the storm

That could abash* the little Bird

That kept so many warm.

I’ve heard it in the chilliest land

And on the strangest Sea:

Yet, never, in Extremity**,

It asked a crumb of me.

Emily Dickinson,

1830-1886

Look up the words ‘abash’ and ‘extremity’ in an online or book dictionary

https://www.wordsmyth.net

Can you work out what is meant here? (They are not used entirely literally.)

My Hopes

In the poem, Emily Dickinson says hope never stops and that we should never

give up hoping for things. What do you hope for? Instead of wishing for things

you’d like to have, such as toys or games, think about what really good things

you could hope for -e.g. that might happen for your family and your friends.
