Look at the example below, they show the features above. Be creative as your possibly can with the language you use and make sure you use a range of sentence types to make it an exciting newspaper article.

PE
This week I want you to get creative. I want you to create a parkour course which will be a challenge for you and keep you moving.
The objective is for you to create a constant running course to keep moving!
‘Running’ across the obstacles utilising core movement skills: jumping, landing, skipping, turning, rolling, changing direction. Demonstrating balance and agility.
With practice and repetition the more accomplished and confident athletes will become. They can start to think about how good the movement feels and looks.
How big can you make your course? How quick can you complete your course? Can all of your family complete your course? Watch the video below and try and get the moves into your course.
Well Done

Mr Farrier.
