Midweek check-in, ice cream, French and poetry


Bonjour, Year 6!

There's a bit of a French theme to this post. Madame Cartlidge has published your fantastic version of La Chenille qui Fait des Trous - if you click on the link, you can hear Madame Cartlidge reading the story in French or in English.

In addition to this, Madame Cartlidge has some other suggestions for French at home




1. Create an account on Babelzone: https://www.lcfclubs.com/babelzonenew/ (this website is usually only available for paying customers. However, during the virus outbreak, they have made it available to all teachers and children free of charge).

Click use your promo code (see the picture below).


Then enter the code lcf2020sch. Ask your parents to enter their email address and create a password. Choose the language you want to practise (you can choose French, or, if you know which language you'll be doing at secondary school, then select that). 
Now choose a topic, and select some of the activities to do.
You can keep coming back to this website and choosing something else to do. 

2. Play a game on this website https://www.french-games.net/ (some of the games need more than one player, so you might want to ask someone else in your family to join you). 

3. Listen to a story from this website, reading along in French and English: https://www.thefrenchexperiment.com/stories.


Next, Miss Davies has a family performance poetry challenge for you all! All the details are in this blog post here: https://cabotschoolyear6.blogspot.com/2020/04/miss-davies-performance-poetry-family.html


Now, do you like making music? We were wowed by those of you who were in school on the final Thursday having a go at playing the keyboard! We recommend that those of you who are budding musicians have a go at making music on Incredibox (all versions are free until next Monday). Who can make the most catchy music? FAQs are here: https://www.incredibox.com/info/faq



Finally, do you fancy a bit of science? No, well how about some ice cream? Making ice cream IS science! You can find out how to do it by reading these instructions from the Science Museum. If you'd like to try some more science learning at home, here are a few more suggestions:

Making different paper aeroplanes;
Play Launchball online and explore forces;
Try some of these kitchen science experiments (ask your parents first)!

It's been really lovely speaking to you all by phone and hearing about what you've been doing. We really miss seeing you in school. We'd love to see and hear about some of the things you've been doing! Please leave us a comment on one of the blog posts. You could post a picture of some of the art you've made, link to an Incredibox tune, share a maths solution, tell us about something you've discovered in topic, or type up a story you've written. We're looking forward to you sharing your work with us!

Au revoir!

Ms Tupman and Mr Town
