Muscles Newsletter Prep

Fold a piece of A4 paper to make a booklet. Ideally use coloured paper (card is fine). The booklet should then have the information stuck on.

First page: Title ‘Looking After Our Muscles' or choose your own suitable title. Then write an article about how someone might get RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) and how to avoid it.

Second page: Two sketches of someone lifting a heavy box, first in a dangerous way that could cause strain to their muscles, then in a safe way. Label the diagrams appropriately.

Third page: a recommendation of the best sport for exercising as many of your muscles as possible – make sure you give your reasons.

Fourth page: write your name on this but beyond that, leave the page blank as this will be stuck down in your books or on the display board.

You could get information from encyclopaedias, the Internet or a helpful adult!

Due in on Monday 5 November. It is two weeks' worth of prep so make sure it looks like you've spent quite a bit of time on it!
