Greg says, WHAT IS UP?
HEY LUCAS, HEY TVOKIDS,
AND WELCOME TO ANOTHER
POWER UP!

Lucas waves.

Greg says, LUCAS, YOUR SHIRT LOOKS
REALLY BIG ON YOU,
WHAT'S GOING ON THERE?

Lucas says, WELL, GREG, I DELIVERED.
YOU SAID IT WAS GOING TO BE
BIG TOP THEMED,
SO I GOT THE BIGGEST TOP
THAT I HAD IN MY HOUSE,
AND I THINK THAT
I MAYBE BEAT YOU
IN TERMS OF HAVING
A BIG TOP.

Greg says, AH, VERY, VERY INTERESTING.
I APPRECIATE YOUR TAKE ON THAT,
BUT WE MEANT BY "BIG TOP,"
IT MEANT LIKE,
THE CIRCUS, LIKE A BIG TOP.
YOU KNOW,
LIKE
BIG TOP ACADEMY?
LIKE, NOT LIKE A SHIRT,
LIKE A TOP.

Lucas says, YEAH, I TOTALLY SHOULD
HAVE KNOWN THAT
BECAUSE WE HAVE A SHOW
CALLED
BIG TOP ACADEMY.
OKAY, I'M GONNA GO
FIND ANOTHER,
MORE APPROPRIATE
CIRCUS SHIRT, OKAY?

Lucas turns to leave.

Greg says, OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
AND HEY, WHILE HE'S DOING THAT,
TVOKIDS,
MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE
ENOUGH SPACE,
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE
NO OBSTACLES,
AND MAKE SURE THAT THE FLOOR
YOU'RE ON IS NON-SLIP,
'CAUSE WHILE YOU'RE
HAVING FUN,
WE WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT YOU ARE SAFE.
BUT NOW,
WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ADO,
PLEASE WELCOME OUR PHYS ED

In a video call, Heather has long blond hair. She wears a blue shirt.

Heather says, HEY, TVOKIDS,
I AM YOUR BIG TOP MC.
I'M HEATHER,
A HEALTH AND PHYS ED TEACHER,

Text reads, Power Up, H & PE teacher, Heather.

Heather says, NOW, WE AT OPHEA TRY TO GET KIDS
ALL ACROSS THIS PROVINCE ACTIVE,
AND TODAY,
WE'RE GONNA HELP YOU GET ACTIVE!
SO WE ARE DOING
FIVE MOVES TODAY
THAT ARE GONNA HELP YOU
TO BECOME YOUR BEST,

BIG TOP PERFORMER.

In his home, Lucas stands and wears a red plaid shirt. Greg sits in a chair in his home. Lucas stretches.

Heather says, NOW, SOME OF THESE MOVES
MIGHT BE A LITTLE CHALLENGING
FOR YOU,
SO WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO,
IS YOU ARE GOING TO
FOLLOW GREG,
WHO IS GOING TO DO
ALL OF THESE MOVES WHILE SEATED.
NOW HERE'S THE FIRST MOVE.
SO AS OUR BIG TOP PERFORMER,
I WANT YOU TO RAISE THE ROOF.

Heather puts her hands up above her and jumps up and down.

She says, SO WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS WE'RE
GONNA JUMP ON THE SPOT,
AND I WANT YOU TO
PRESS YOUR ARMS UP
AS IF YOU ARE PRESSING UP
THAT CEILING.

Lucas follows Heathers instructions while Greg lifts his arms up and down from his chair.

Heather says, OKAY, AND WE CAN SEE GREG,
GREG IS SEATED IN HIS CHAIR,
AND HE IS REACHING HIS ARMS UP
AS HIGH AS HE CAN.
AND WE CAN REACH OVER
TO THE RIGHT SIDE,
OR WE CAN REACH OVER
TOWARDS THE LEFT SIDE,
AND WE'VE GOT LUCAS,
AND LUCAS IS DOING A JUMP
WHILE HE'S RAISING HIS ROOF.

Lucas says, WOO!

Lucas and Greg reach up to their left and right sides as they raise and lower their arms.

Heather says, LET'S SEE, LUCAS,
HOW HIGH CAN YOU REACH?
HOW HIGH CAN YOU STRETCH
WHILE YOU RAISE THE ROOF?

Lucas laughs.

Heather says, NICE WORK.

Lucas says, I'M TRYING!

Heather says, WOO! YOU'VE GOT IT!
THIS NEXT MOVE REQUIRES
A LITTLE BIT OF COORDINATION.
WE'RE GONNA TAP
THE INSIDE OF OUR HEELS,
AND THE OUTSIDE
OF OUR HEELS.
SO TAP TO THE INSIDE
OF YOUR FEET,
AND THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR FEET.
INSIDE OF YOUR FEET,
OUTSIDE OF YOUR FEET.
LET'S SEE IF LUCAS
CAN DO THIS.
LUCAS, ARE YOU COORDINATED
ENOUGH AS A BIG TOP PERFORMER?

Lucas swings his leg and taps both sides of his feet with his hands then does the same with his other leg.

Lucas says, I THINK SO!

Heather says, YOU GOT IT!
YEAH, WE'RE JUST KIND OF
SWINGING OUR LEGS AROUND,
REACHING DOWN FOR THOSE.
LET'S SEE WHAT GREG
IS DOING IN THE CHAIR.
GREG'S FOLDED IN HALF,
GREG'S REACHING DOWN
TOWARDS HIS HEEL,
MAYBE TAPPING HIS TOES,
TAPPING HIS HEELS.

Greg leans forward in his chair and reaches down to tap both sides of his ankles.

Heather says, LOOKS GOOD!
OKAY, HERE'S OUR NEXT MOVE.
WE'RE GOING TO SWING THOSE LEGS
FROM SIDE TO SIDE.
HOW HIGH CAN YOU SWING
THOSE LEGS?

Heather and Lucas swing their legs out beside them. They swing their arms in the opposite direction of their legs. Greg swings his arms out beside him.

Heather says, A BIG SWING HERE
FROM SIDE TO SIDE.
ALL RIGHT, CAN WE ADD
A LITTLE JUMP WHILE WE DO IT?
CAN YOU ADD A LITTLE HOP?

Lucas jumps to the opposite foot as he swings his legs

Heather says, PICK UP THE PACE.
YEAH, LET'S GET GOING FAST.
NICE WORK, GREG,
AND I LOVE HOW BIG
YOU CAN SWING THOSE ARMS WHILE
YOU'RE SEATED IN THAT CHAIR.

Greg swings his arms in a circle.

Heather says, REALLY GOOD!
OKAY, HERE'S OUR NEXT ONE.
I WANT YOU TO IMAGINE THAT
THERE'S A LINE ON THE FLOOR,
LIKE A REALLY LOW TIGHTROPE.
WE'RE GONNA JUMP OVER
AND BACK.
SO JUMP TO THE FRONT,
JUMP TO THE BACK.
JUMP TO THE FRONT,
JUMP TO THE BACK.
FRONT, BACK.

Heather jumps forwards and backwards.

Heather says, LET'S SEE, LUCAS,
LET'S SEE THOSE JUMPS.

Lucas jumps sideways to his left and back to his right with his feet together. Greg leans and stretches forwards and backwards in his chair.

He says, YEAH!

Heather says, JUMP TO THE FRONT,
JUMP TO THE BACK.
YOU'VE GOT IT!
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GOING
SIDE TO SIDE,
WE CAN JUMP SIDE TO SIDE
AS WELL.

Lucas says, OH!

Heather copies Lucas’ jumps.

She says, TO THE LEFT,
TO THE RIGHT,
TO THE LEFT,
TO THE RIGHT.
TO THE FRONT,
TO THE BACK.
ALL RIGHT, GREG,
ARE YOU MOVING YOUR ARMS BIG
FRONT TO BACK,
SIDE TO SIDE?
FRONT TO BACK,
SIDE TO SIDE.

Greg swings his arms left to right.

Heather says, OKAY, OKAY.
TVOKIDS,
HERE IS OUR LAST MOVE
TO BECOME THAT BIG TOP
PERFORMER.

Heather dances.

She says, ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE,

HOW WOULD YOU DANCE AROUND?

Lucas and Greg dance.

Heather says, LET'S SEE,
CAN YOU DO BIG ARMS?
CAN YOU DANCE

CAN YOU DANCE UP HIGH?
CAN YOU TURN
TO THE LEFT?
TO THE RIGHT?
LET'S SEE WHAT GREG IS DOING,
BECAUSE GREG IS IN THAT CHAIR.

Greg swings his arms around. He flosses with his arms.

Heather says, WOO! THERE WE GO.
THOSE ARE SOME BIG ARMS.
VERY COOL.
WHAT'S LUCAS GOT
GOING ON?
LET'S SEE LUCAS'S DANCE MOVES.
HERE WE GO,
BIG ARMS, BIG LEGS.

Lucas does a variety of dance moves.

Heather says, SWING 'EM ALL
THE WAY AROUND.

Heather swings her arms in a circle in front of her.

She says, LET'S DO THIS FOR ANOTHER
FIVE SECONDS HERE, TVOKIDS.
ARE YOU READY FOR FOUR,
THREE, TWO, ONE, WOO!

Heather, Lucas and Greg stop dancing.

Heather says, THAT WAS GREAT,
TVOKIDS, GREAT JOB.
THANK YOU SO MUCH

DON'T FORGET TO STRETCH,

Heather waves.

Lucas drinks from a water bottle.

He says, THANK YOU!
I'M A LITTLE SWEATY,
I GOTTA BE HONEST,
SO HYDRATION IS KEY
IN THIS,
A GREAT WAY
TO START OUT THE DAY,
AND WHAT ABOUT STRETCHING, GREG,
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?

Greg says, OH, FOR STRETCHING,
I RECOMMEND,
SINCE I DID A LOT
OF ARM MOVEMENT,
I RECOMMEND SOME ARM STRETCHES
LIKE THIS,
LIKE THIS…

Greg stretches his arms against his chest.

He says, …MAYBE SOME OVERHEAD,
SOME OVERHEAD.

Greg stretches his arms up over and behind his head.

Lucas says, I LOVE IT.

Greg says, AND THEN IF YOU WANNA DO SOME
LOWER BODY STRETCHES,
YOU CAN STRETCH OUT YOUR LEGS
LIKE THIS, OR LIKE THIS.

Greg stretches his legs by bending his knee and pulling his ankle behind him. Lucas does the same.

He says, OR YOU CAN STRETCH OUT
YOUR HAMSTRINGS.

Greg bends and reaches towards the floor.

Lucas says, I LOVE IT,
IT'S SO GOOD.
THE BREATH IS GOING,
AND I FEEL LIKE WE WERE
PRETTY GOOD
CIRCUS PERFORMERS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
ABSOLUTELY, I THINK WE SHOULD
START A COMEDY DUO
CALLED "GREG AND LUCAS,
BIG TOP."

Lucas says, OKAY, I TOTALLY AGREE.
ALSO, MY HAIR WAS DOING THIS
AS I WAS DOING IT,
BUT IT WAS KINDA FUN.

Lucas flips his hair.

Greg says, YEAH, I NEED A HAIRCUT, TOO.

Greg flips his hair around. Lucas laughs.

Lucas says, ALL RIGHT, TVOKIDS..

Greg says, THIS IS MY BIG TOP!

He laughs and points to his hair. Lucas laughs.

Lucas says, IT IS A BIG TOP!
WE WANNA ENCOURAGE
YOU GUYS TO STAY FIT,
STAY ACTIVE DURING THESE TIMES,
AND THAT'S ALL FROM ME.
GREG, I GUESS I'LL SEE YOU
AT THE CIRCUS.
YES, CHEERS!
I'LL SEE YOU THERE.

Greg holds up his water bottle.
