….Thursdays are always tiring as we have P.E. all afternoon and of course I have to join in. This week we’ve been doing sponsored activities for Kick Asthma. I decided to do ours this afternoon in P.E.. So we had an egg and spoon team game. I had planned to do it outside but the weather has been much, much cooler today so we used the hall. Teaching kids to do a team game for the first time is always a challenge! We had five teams, each with five children, all except one which had six. So to make it fair I had to get all the team leaders with five to run their race twice. Hmmm, after about four attempts they finally realised that it was just the team leader who did it twice and not all of them. We practised just by running first and then throwing and catching a ball until they’d mastered it, and then we progressed to the egg and spoon. Amazingly it went well with only a few children dropping the egg.

One of the main items of news today in the UK is new advice for how to protect yourself from the sun. Out goes white thin cotton clothes, in comes thick denim, wool or polyester clothes So now we die of heat exhaustion instead?? Hmmmmmm……
