Monday 20th July 2020

Happy Monday! The last Monday of the 2020 school year, and what a school year it's been. We have three days of fun activities lined up for you to take us through the last days of Term 6.

To begin, listen to the story Grendel a Cautionary tale about Chocolate. Then look at the activities below the video and choose something/s you would like to do.

Things you could do:

• draw a heart and write down all the things you love
• make a ‘Me Box’ and put things from home that you love in the box
• write about your own 3 wishes – what would you wish for? Write your wishes on a star. Was Grendel’s wish a good one? Why or why not?
• make a cave den at home
• write a letter to Grendel saying why you think his wish was a good wish or not a good wish and what would be a better wish

You could:

• write a Chocolate poem – look at Michael Rosen’s poem to give you some ideas

• make chocolate playdough and make your own box of chocolates

Recipe:   

2 cups plain flour (all purpose)

1 cup salt

1/2 cup cocoa powder

2 tbsps vegetable oil

2 tbsps cream of tartar

2 cups of boiling water

4 drops of glycerine (optional extra for increased shine and stretch)

Method:

Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl

Stir in the vegetable oil

Mix together

Stir in the boiling water (adult only) and mix until combined

When it has cooled a little, knead it on a clean surface until it loses all stickiness and becomes smooth and stretchy. No residue should come off on your fingers. If it is still sticky add a little more flour, if too dry and

crumbly add more water, a tablespoon at a time.

• design your own chocolate world. Look at the clip from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to give you ideas

Whatever you choose to do, I hope you enjoy doing it.  And of course, I would love to see what you get up to so please ask your adult to email photos of your marvellously, chocolatey creations to swifts@archbishopcourtenay.kent.sch.uk.

Have a great day.

Friday 17th July

Good morning everyone!

Happy Friday and welcome to the last Friday blog post for this year! Well done on sticking with us throughout this term and sending in your fantastic pieces of work! You have worked extra hard and deserve the rest during the summer holidays. All your teachers and class helpers at ABC are so, so proud of what you have achieved and we are all looking forward to being together again in September. Next week, ABC is open to welcome you and your parents to meet your teacher and teaching assistant for next year and to find out what will be happening in Term 1 of the new school year.

The timetable for each class is as follows and to ensure safety and social distancing, groups will come in at different times:

 9-10am / 11-12pm

 9.15 - 10.15am / 11.15-12.15pm

 9.30am - 10.30am / 11.30am - 12.30pm

It will be lovely to see you all before the summer. 

As usual the weekly Kahoot Quiz is now live and will be until 3PM. Enter the game pin 03539586 . Write your first name, the initial of your surname and then your class so we can tell who is the winner. Good Luck! Click on the image below to be directed.

Let's get started on today's learning.

We are really looking forward to 'September'.

Phonics

Your Year 1 phonics lesson starts at 10:30 this morning, these are the sounds we would be doing together if we were in school. There is a lesson at 10 o'clock if you would like to revise and practice sounds you have already done and a lesson at 11:00 if you are working on blending your sounds to read words.

Spellings

As it's Friday, as usual it's spelling test day. Your adult can read you the word and you can then write id down. This weeks spellings are doesn't, shouldn't, mustn't, weren't, basketball, rainbow, butterfly, bathroom

English

The Eagle that was Scared of Heights!

Read through your story. Read it to someone! Think about what parts you could improve: look again at your descriptions and your sentences and speech. Check the order of your story makes sense and that there is a clear beginning, middle and end. Write up your story in your neatest handwriting and illustrate some important parts of the story. Make a cover with the title and your name. You can use bubble writing!

Maths

Watch the videos by clicking on the images to remind yourself how to set out division answers and to make it easier to solve. Then try the questions below. There are two ways to divide shown here-watch both and decide which is easiest for you!

Science

BUILD A BUG HABITAT!

All creatures need a little help from us and this a great way you can make sure that the insects like bees have a place to live. Remember food chains? Insects are an important part of the food chain for other larger animals like birds and they are very good for plants-bees help pollinate plants which means that some plants need bees to make seeds to grow more flowers! Imagine a world with no colorful flowers! Thank you bees and all the insects in our gardens and parks, forests and woods! When you’ve made your bug house, check it to see which insects are using it. Make drawings of the insects and label them. How many can you get to stay at your bug hotel? Click the video to see how to make one. Make a few!

Well done on your hard work today. If you would like to join us in our daily prayer and worship session you can click on the image below to be directed to our Christian Distinctiveness Page.

Again we would like to congratulate you all on your hard work this term. If you would like to send in any images of work or email us a message please do at the usual address swifts@archbishopcourtenay.kent.sch.uk.

Have a fantastic summer, rest and stay safe!
