Good morning everyone,
I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend! I spent a lot of time in the sun, in fact possibly a bit too much time! I also had some delicious food and lovely video chats with some of my friends.
Thanks again for all your wellebing challenge e-mails. It really cheers me up whenever I get one and see what you've all been up to!
Today's wellbeing challenge is actually Miss Bryce's idea so thanks Miss Bryce! It's a creative one and is to design your own superhero.
Who would they be?
What would they do?
What would they wear?
Have a think about what is important to you and then either draw, make or write about your superhero.
See the attached picture file for all the details and how it relates to Banksy.
Remember to e-mail EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk to show me pictures of your superheroes!

Some fantastic origami by all the pupils who gave it a go, well done!
Monday sentence of the day and phonics
Date: 11th May 2020 @ 9:28am
Good Morning! I hope you all had a lovely bank holiday weekend, celebrating VE day and enjoying the sunshine!
Sentence of the day
Here are the answers from Thursdays sentence of the day.
A sunflower needs water and sunlight to grow. It needs to be the right temperature, if it is too cold or too hot the sunflower could die.
Well done to the children who managed to find the mistakes. Look how neat and beautiful their learning is, well done!
For today’s sentence I want you to read the instructions and put them into the correct order. Remember to use the time connectives to help you.
Next drop a sunflower seed into the hole.
First put some damp soil in a plastic cup so it comes up almost to the top.
Then put the cup on a sunny windowsill.
Finally your plant should pop up through the soil after about 1 or 2 weeks.
Phonics
Let’s start todays phonics by reviewing our tricky words. Find your tricky word mat and play a game of fastest finger with your grown up. Ask them to say a word and point to as quick as you can with your fast fingers.
Today’s phonics focus is going to be a recap of blends which come at the start of words. Watch this video to remind yourselves of these blends.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cS8bvbyWFZ4
Today you are going to have three challenges again.
Challenge 1: Make yourself a roll and read mat using the words on the youtube video. Here is an example of what it should look like. My roll and read mat has all of the same blend but you can make yours harder by including all of the words on the video
Challenge 2: Play a game of 4 in a row with your roll and read mat. Take turns with someone you live with to roll the dice and read a word. The first person to read 4 in a row will be the winner.
Challenge 3: Make signs with the initial blends that you saw in the video – dr, gr, tr, br, cr. Then cut up your roll and read mat so that you have lots of little words. Read the word and match them to their initial blend. For example the word brush will go with the sign br.
Hope you have a lovely day! If you have any questions then please email us and we’ll be happy to help you! Don’t forget that you can carry on practicing your reading skills on lexia!
Year One Lexia and Active learn reading apps
Date: 11th May 2020 @ 8:22am
Hello,
Just a quick message to remind you that you can use active learn and lexia to help you read at home!
As part of the daily learning each child should be completing reading challenges on lexia and Active learn, each day. As you know there have been no reading books going home so it is very important that you are logging into these apps each day. Miss Riley and I can see who has been reading and would love to see more children in year one reading every day. If you have any problems with logging on and need any help then contact the year1 team at y1homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk and we will be more than happy to help you.
Thanks Miss Wolfenden and Miss Riley

Hello,
We hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the VE day celebrations. Last week you were asked to complete a Jack and the Beanstalk reading challenge. Well done to the children who have completed their writing for the leaves. It would be great if we could have some more back because we would love the tree in the shared area to be big and full of your lovely work!
We have posted the challenge again for you to have a go at this week!
Hello,
Miss Fish is helping the Key Stage one staff to create a Jack and the Beanstalk display in the shared area and we need your help! We are making 120 leaves for the beanstalk, one for each child, which we will decorate when the children return back to school. We thought it would be a lovely idea if each child writes something positive about reading and sends it into school. The staff will then type up the work and add it to the leaves when they are completed. Maybe you could write about your favourite book or favourite author. Sometimes it is nice to read about some of the exciting vocabulary that you have read, maybe you could share that! You can email your work in or take a photograph of the writing and send it in. It is up to you! Each leaf is going to be the size of an A4 piece of paper so you have plenty of space to write your ideas down. If any of your brothers or sisters or even your adults want to join in, they can! If they are younger they might want to draw a picture or write about their favourite character, that's fine. We want to celebrate the schools love of reading so you can be as creative as possible. We will be giving prizes for creativity and presentation so take your time! We can't wait to see the work. Happy reading!
Thanks

Happy Monday!
Today we are going to focus on adding 3, 1 digit numbers together.
Sometimes it easier to use the number facts we know to help solve trickier problems. We can count on using a number line, use concrete objects or count on but there are other strategies we can use that are much faster and much more effective.
Look at this addition 2+5+8=
Ask yourself the following question. Can I see 2 numbers that when added together make 10?
Then re -arrange the addition sentence so that the 2 numbers that add to 10 are together
8+2+5= We know that 8+2=10 and 10+5=15
Use a number line to help you !
Have a go for yourself
Challenge 1
1. 7+5+3= 2. 1+4+9= 3. 8+3+2= 4. 6+1+4= 5. 8+5+5= 6. 4+10+6= 7. 9+9+1= 8. 10+10+10=
Challenge 2
Can you read the questions and then write the number sentence to represent it, remembering to use the correct formation!
1. James bought 7 red cars, 4 blue cars and 3 yellow cars. How many altogether?
2. Kirsty bought 2 pink cakes, 7 yellow cakes and 3 blue cakes. How many altogether?
3. Dan bought 1 fizzy sweet, 3 mint sweets and 9 chocolate sweets. How many sweets does he have altogether?
4. 6 children jumped into the pool. 5 more children jumped in and then 4 more jumped in. How many children are in the pool?
5. There are 6 dogs, 7 cats and 4 rabbits. How many animals altogerther?
Challenge 3
Have a go at completing the challenges in the blue boxes below. Remeber to use yyour knowledge of number facts to 10 to help!
Thanks

Celebrations
Can you believe it’s that time of the week again! Where has this week gone! We hope that you are all having a lovely day, maybe you’re celebrating VE day or maybe you’re enjoying a relaxing bank holiday in the sunshine. Whatever you’re doing we hope you are having a lovely time, you deserve it!
We have had so many pictures of you and your learning in this week! It’s amazing to see how busy you all are and how you are still doing lots of learning in these strange times. We are so proud of you and we miss you all very much!
So here are this weeks superstar learners!
Look at this beautiful presentation! This child looks like they are concentrating so hard on making their learning look neat, I think that they are definitely getting ready for year 2! Well done!
You are looking very proud of yourself here! I think I would be the same if I had managed to complete all of that learning.
We are missing all of your creations so much! It’s lovely to see you making, creating and getting crafty at home!
Another child with stunning presentation! I think we are going to have some number line experts when we come back to school!
Look at this gorgeous flower. I wish the flowers in my garden looked like this.
I couldn’t believe the amount of words on this adjective list. It was more than I could think of. I think we have another child ready for year 2!
Here is another person concentrating mega hard on his home learning. I wonder if Mrs Hughes will let us carry on learning in our pyjamas when we go back to school.

VE Day
Today it is the 75th anniversary of VE Day. Victory in Europe Day/VE Day took place on May 8th 1945. It was a public holiday and day of celebration to mark the defeat of Germany by the Allied forces in Second World War.
On VE day people ran out in the street with flags and banners and they sung and they danced. They hung up bunting and had parties and food in the streets.
This year we are celebrating VE day and our May bank holiday a little differently. Here are some activities that you can do at home to celebrate VE day.
- Make your own union jack bunting just like the bunting that they had on VE day 75 years ago.
- Make your own union jack flags and banners and wave them whilst dancing to music in your garden
- Have a picnic outside
-Make your own special VE day medals
Whatever you do, we hope you have a lovely day.
Date: 7th May 2020 @ 10:28am
Good morning,
Yet another lovely sunny day! I'm looking forward to getting out in the sun later although I actually got a little bit sunburnt yesterday! Remeber that suncream!
Today's challenge is a creative one, I'd like you to try a bit of origami. Origami is the art of folding paper and while it can be a bit tricky, it's also quite a nice relaxing activity once you know what you're doing and you end up with something that looks amazing. You could even make a few things and use them to decorate your house!
What you need for all origami is a square of paper, either plain or patterned. If youre not sure how to turn a piece of paper into a square then have a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPxi1dIWRws
Then you could take some time to decorate your paper if you like before you fold it.
Then this is a fairly simple one to get started, a butterfly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWjEYlMZnhE
Just follow each instruction carefully and the good thing about watching a video is that you can rewind it as much as you like! If you're not a fan of butterflies then feel free to have a look for something else on the Red Ted Art channel.
Here's my butterfly that I've just made. It's not perfect but it's the first time I've ever done it so I was quite impressed with myself!
As always I'd love to see pictures of what you've made or of any past challenges, e-mail EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk to send them or even just to let me know what kind of challenges you prefer so I can make sure I'm doing ones that people like :-)
Past challenges
Thanks to all the children who have sent me pictures, you've all been very busy which is great to see!

Thursday Sentence of the day and phonics
Date: 7th May 2020 @ 9:43am
Good Morning! What a lovely day we had yesterday, I hope you enjoyed the sunshine! It looks like it’s going to be like this for the rest of the week! Hurray!
Sentence of the day
Here are the answers from yesterdays sentence. Well done to the children who managed to find where all of the capital letters go, even those sneaky ones that I tried to trick you with.
The glorious bug hotel was in the corner of the over grown garden. It was the perfect place for a bug hotel. Bugs came from far and wide to see the bug hotel and one Sunday the most important bug of all came to visit.
If you found that a little tricky or need a reminder have a look at the poster to remind yourself when we need capital letters.
Have a look at today’s sentence. It has a few different green for growths, can you solve what all of them should be?
a sunthlower needs worterand sunlite to grow. It needs to bea the right temperature, if it istoo cold or too hot the sunflower cud die.
Phonics
Let’s review some of the phonics that we did yesterday. Can you sort these words into words that belong on planet nonsense and words that belong on planet real? I have taken away the alien pictures this time so you need to have a read and think about whether it is a real or nonsense word.
Todays phonics focusses on phase 5 tricky words. Let’s start by listening to the tricky words.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeIbtzh-ALM&t=21s
Today you have three challenges again
Challenge one: Make yourself a tricky word mat just like this one. Remember to spread the words out so that they are easy to read and find. If you have chalks you could even make a giant word mat outside.
Challenge two: Ask your grown up to say a word out loud and you need to find it with your fast fingers or feet on the word mat.
Challenge three: Find some scraps of paper and write the tricky words on them, one word per each piece of paper. Now stick the words around a room or around your garden. Listen to the tricky words on the youtube video, when it says a tricky word run to that word. Remember to keep listening as the tricky words change quite quickly!
I hope you all have a lovely day in the sunshine. Stay safe x

Good morning,
Another sunny day! 
First all of all I want to thank everyone who has sent in pictures of them doing my wellbeing challenges, it's fantastic to see and hear about how you're enjoying doing them! Have a look at the Past Challenges bit at the bottom to see some photos.
Today's challenge is another one to get you moving and do a mini workout. Sometimes it can seem a bit scary or time consuming to do a whole workout so these mini workouts are perfect if you want a quick break from doing school work or even from just watching TV if you fancy a stretch! All of these little energisers from Go Noodle are between 2 - 4 minutes long so perfect for something to wake you up in the morning or as a break from whatever you are doing.
Here are a few that I like:

Wednesday sentence of the day and phonics
Date: 6th May 2020 @ 9:43am
Good Morning! This morning I did some yoga before starting my work and my brain feels much more awake and ready for the day!
Sentence of the day
The creepy crawly bugs found the bug hotel. It was warm and had all of their favourite snacks inside. The spiders liked the dark corners and made their webs there. The butterflies liked the bits in the warm sun where they could flutter their wings.
Well done if you managed to find them all! Today’s challenge focusses on capital letters. Can you use your amazing reading skills and read the sentences and find where the capital letters belong?
the glorious bug hotel was in the corner of the over grown garden. it was the perfect place for a bug hotel. bugs came from far and wide to see the bug hotel and one sunday the most important bug of all came to visit.
Phonics
Let’s start our phonics today by remembering all of the different ways we can make the oa sound.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQFilBxEseg&list=PLqk7ar-NaBVsbHQP5lR9atB716Pva16pf
Watch the video and write down all of the ways that you saw of making the oa sound.
Today’s phonics challenge focusses on the ue vowel family. Have a think, how many different ways can you remember to make the ue sound? Write them all down on a piece of paper. Now watch the video, did you managed to find them all?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spiH4piN3yc&list=PLqk7ar-NaBVvtjk4yceMkLBMQ0Bm3RpTS
Today I have three phonics challenges for you. I wonder if you can complete them all?
Challenge one: Go on a sound hunt. How many different things can you find with a ue sound in them? Remember to use your senses, what can you hear, smell, taste, see and touch? Write them down as they will come in useful later.
Challenge two: Now it's time to travel to planet obb. I want you to make up as many ue alien and nonsense words as you can. This might be tricky at first so I have made some of my own alien words to help you. Remember alien words are aliens names so you will have to draw an alien to match them.
Challenge three: Make yourself a planet real and an alien nonsense.
Now sort your words so that the alien words can go back to planet nonsense and the real words can go straight to planet real.
Hope you have a lovely day and enjoy the sunshine!
Date: 5th May 2020 @ 10:21am
Good morning everyone,
I don't know about you but I can't wait to get out in that sun so today's challenge is one that can be done outside if you like.
Today we are focusing on having a growth mindset and doing this through yoga. Having a growth mindset means you have a positive attitude to your learning and know that just because you may find something difficult and you can't do it yet, you will get there as long as you don't give up!
Here are 5 different growth mindset yoga poses to try. Please feel free to try as many or as few positions as you like and send any pictures to EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

Here are some pictures and words, can you sort them all and match them to the correct grapheme?
Here’s a tip – you might want to write out the word to match the pictures so you can test which grapheme looks right e.g. is it croe,croa,crowe,crow?
Hope you all have a lovely day

Happy Tuesday !
Hello everyone,
We hope you are ready for more addition challenges today! It is going to be a bit trickier and more of a challenge so we are going to do it step by step today so do not worry. Lets get out brains working and do some counting exercise like yesterday. Ask your adults to join in. I am going to get my family to join in all week. Why don't you send in your videos they would be lovely to watch at the end of the week. Today you can watch Joe, Miss wolfenden's son working out.
1. Joe Joe's Jumping Jacks - see video . Can you count in steps of 5 to 100?
2. Miss Wolfenden's wiggles- wiggle your body using your different body parts from 0 to 100.
3. Bethany's bounce the ball- Can you bounce a ball backwards from 50 to 0?
4. Callum's kick backs- Can you count in steps of 10, forwards and back from 0 to 100?
5. Frankie's claps- Can you count how many claps you can do?
6. Maddie's mountain bikers- Can you count in steps of 2 from 0 to 30? If you can do that really well then count backwards from 30.
Todays learning
So today we are going to continue with solving addition word problems using an number line but instead of counting forward in steps of 1 we are going to use a different strategy called bridging through ten. To do this really well we need to know are number pairs to 10.
Chhallenge 1
Say your number pairs to 10. Don't worry if you have forgotten, it's ok. Listen to the songs in the links below to help you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch7KzI3n2Zk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJFbJxXYaLw
Challenge 2
let's have a go at solving simple additions using a number line but we are going to bridge through 10.
What is bridging through 10?
It is when children recognise how number bonds to ten help them to add numbers with a total greater than ten and up to 20. Provide children with number lines and ten-frames for them to see practically how to bridge ten. Ask yourself the following questions.
How many do you add to the first number to make ten? How many more do you need to add after getting to ten?
How can you use number bonds to ten to help add numbers? How many more do you need to add to the ten-frame to make ten? How many more do you need to put in the second ten-frame?
Have a look at this image and see if it helps
look at how I worked out the first one! 8+4=
http://www.showme.com/sh?h=2yZHRrM
Finish of the questions and then have a go at the bridging through 10 activity card in the blue box at the bottom
Challenge 3
Now let's see if we can do the same thing with addition word problems. I will talk you through the first one. Make sure you have your number line to 20 ready!
1. Peter bought 6 cars from Tesco. He then went into Morrisons and bought 8 more. How many altogether?
Sometimes it is easier to write the addition sentence too! 6+8= This is how I worked it out
http://www.showme.com/sh?h=w2OAKPo
2. Mrs Hughes bought 7 pencils from the shop. Mrs Leadbetter gave her 9 more pencils. How many altogether?
Can you write the addition sentence to match? if Mrs Highes took half of the pencils how many would she have?
3. Joshia found 8 smails in the garden. He looked under a log and found 5 more. How many snails did he have altogether? Miss Wolfenden found a small tank that has enough space for 10 snails. Is the tank big enough?
4. Michael found 4 red bilkes. Miss Conway gave him 7 more. How many bikes did he have altogether?
5. Miss Wolfenden picked up 1 biscuit from the kitchen. Miss Riley gave her 10 more. How many did she have altogether?
6. Frankie found 5 toys in his toy box. His mum gave him 8 more. How many toys did he have?
7. Madeleine got 1 Easter egg. The Easter bunny brought 13 more. How many eggs did she have?
8. Jack bought 2 boxes of smarties. He was then given 16 more boxes. How many boxes did he have altogether?
9 There are 4 balls in Frankie's ball pit. His dad throws 10 more balls into the pit. How many balls does he have?
10. There are 3 cushions on the settee. Joe bought 8 more. How many altogether?
Don't forget to email your videos into school!

Date: 4th May 2020 @ 11:32am
Hello,
So far we have looked at seasonal changes and we have noticed the changes that have happened around us, in our environment, because it is Spring. Hopefully you have drawn the changes that you can see e.g. plants growing and have 'had a go' at writing about them.
Today we are going to be thinking about what a plant needs to grow , we are going to labelling the different parts of a plant and thinking about their function . To help us know more about this I want you to watch the following links.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUBIQ1fTRzI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP5jnuvMqxQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD60-3rqPXg
I hope you have an idea of what a plant needs to grow and what the different parts of a plant is called.
Challenge 1
What does a plant need to grow? Can you draw a picture to explain what you know?
Challenge 2
What would haappen if a plant did not get any sun or water when it wwas growing? How do you know?
Challenge 3- copy and complete the sheet
Challenge 4-copy and complete the sheet
Challenge 5
When you out in the garden or walking as part of your daily exercise then have a look for all the plants you can see and see if they are on the plant hunt sheet.

Good morning everyone,
I hope you all had a good weekend and are ready to work hard on your learning (and your wellbeing!) this week.
Today's challenge has actually come from a website that Mrs Hughes sent to me to look at so thank you Mrs Hughes!
Today I would like you to think about resilience which means keeping strong and bouncing back even in a difficult situation. I'd like you to design a Shield of Strength.
Think about what your strengths are, especially the ones that can help you at the moment while we're not in school, and write or draw (or both!) onto a shield. Here is my shield that you may want to use for help: 
I have attached a template of the shield in case you want to use it but otherwise you can just fraw a shield on a plain piece of paper.
As always I would love to see your challenges so please send them to EALhomelearning@ravensbury.sch.uk

Phonics
Today’s phonics is all about those tricky words! Watch the youtube videos and write down any words that you don’t know or that you just find a bit difficult. These will be your words to practice today!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2dx65u59aw – phase 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R087lYrRpgY&t=11s – phase 3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NOzgR1ANc4&t=3s – phase 4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbcZnb2iz1c – phase 5
Write down the tricky words twice and play a game of pairs or snap or ask someone at home to hide the words around your house and go on a word hunt.
There are also lots of tricky word games on phonics play. Like this one…

Hello,
Well I am very pleased to say it is a sunny Monday morning. I don't know about you but I woke up really early today because the sun was shining brightly through my window. I hope it says sunny all day because it always makes me feel happy and ready for learning. Before you start your maths today I want you to do some counting exercises. Let's get out brains working this morning!
Counting exercises
1. Star jumps- count forwards from 0-50
2. Hopping- count forwards in steps of 2 from 0-30
3. Jumping with 2 feet together- counting forwards from 0 to 100 in steps of 10
4 Balancing on 1 leg- count backwards from 30 to 0
5. Body twists- count backwards from 100 to 0 in steps of 10
Today I want you to write the long date. Make sure you underline it with a ruler! Then I want you to have a go at drawing a number lime from 0-30. See if you can copy this. if you have a printer you can print one out from the file at the bottom of the page labelled number line.
Today we are going to use a number line to solve addition word problems. Remeber when we add amounts together the number gets bigger and we move fo the right on a number line.
Read this problem below
Miss wolfenden buys 10 apples from Tesco. She then drives to Morrisons and buys 6 more apples. How many apples does she have altogether?
Click this link to have a look at how to work it out
http://www.showme.com/sh?h=uCEZ22q

Jack and the Beanstalk display Reading Challenge
Date: 4th May 2020 @ 9:25am
Hello,
Happy Monday Morning! We hope you all had a lovely weekend and are ready for some learning challenges this week. Miss Fish is helping the Key Stage one staff to create a Jack and the Beanstalk display in the shared area and we need your help! We are making 120 leaves for the beanstalk, one for each child, which we will decorate when the children return back to school. We thought it would be a lovely idea if each child writes something positive about reading and sends it into school. The staff will then type up your work and add it to the leaves when they are completed. Maybe you could write about your favourite book or favourite author. Sometimes it is nice to read about some of the exciting vocabulary that you have read, maybe you could share that! You can email your work in or take a photograph of the writing and send it in. It is up to you! Each leaf is going to be the size of an A4 piece of paper so you have plenty of space to write your ideas down. If any of your brothers or sisters or even your adults want to join in, they can! If they are younger they might want to draw a picture or write about their favourite character, that's fine. We want to celebrate the schools love of reading so you can be as creative as possible. We will be giving prizes for creativity and presentation so take your time! We can't wait to see the work. Happy reading!
Thanks
The Key Stage One team

Have a look at this superwork. Both children have tried to work hard on the presentation of their work. They have been trying to write the long date. They have been writing the days of the week and months correctly. Look at how fantastic and so grown up their work is. These children are getting ready for Year 2!
Well done !

Well done you made it! You are on the last maths challenge of the week.We hope you haven't found the work too tricky. We are going to continue learning about finding half and quarters.

Challenge 1
We want you to use objects in the house to solve these problems. Maybe you could use fruit, sweets, bricks, cars, dolls,shoes or cans of food to help find the answers,
Can you find half of ............
a..8 b.2 c.4 d.6 e.10 f.12 g. 16
Can you record your answers as a picture in your books.

Hi everyone and Happy Friday! I can't believe it's already the end of another week. I hope everyone is working hard and staying safe.
I got the idea for today's wellbeing challenge yesterday when I saw the most amazing rainbow in the sky. It was the brightest colours I've ever seen and I could see the whole arc. There was even a faint second rainbow next to it!
Photos don't really show how amazing it was but you can see how vivid the colours are:
The rainbow made me feel happy when I saw it and I thought it might make other people happy too! So today's challenge is to take a photo of something that makes you feel happy. You could find something in your house or do it on a walk. It could be a person, an animal, an object or even something that you've made. Anything that makes you feel happy or positive. If you don't have a camera, phone or tablet of your own then ask an adult if you can borrow theirs but please be careful with it!
If you'd like to share your happy photo then please e-mail it to EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk, I'd love to see it and then I can post some of them and spread the happiness around!
Have a good weekend,
Mrs Glover
Past challenges
Thanks to A who sent a photo of himself doing the breathing exercises I set yesterday, I hope they helped you feel nice and calm.

Friday sentence of the day and phonics
Date: 1st May 2020 @ 9:36am
Can you believe another week has flown by and it’s Friday again! We’ve had some great pictures through this week of you all busy with your learning! We can’t wait to show you them on our celebration blog later!
Sentence of the day
All of yesterday’s sentence were all questions, so they all needed a question mark at the end of them. We know that they are questions because they are asking something and they have our special asking words at the start of the sentence.
Will lots of bugs come to the bug hotel?
Do you like bug hotels?
Why do the bugs like the bug hotel?
What is the bug hotel called?
Well done YuXiang and Kaya you managed to find them all! Brilliant detective work!
Here is today’s sentence. How can you describe the bug house and make it more interesting to read.
I have made a _________________bug hotel.
How many adjectives can you think of to describe the bug hotel?
Phonics
Put a timer on for a minute, how many ways can you think of to make the ee sound from yesterday. Write them down. If you still have some time left, think of some words that are spelt with the different ee graphemes.
ee ea e-e ey y
Today’s phonics focusses on the igh sound family.
For today’s challenge I want you to make your own giant roll and read. You will need 6 rows all with 5 words on. A bit like this…
Your words need to have all of the igh sound family graphemes in them. Once you have written the words you can play! Maybe play against one of your family, who can read the most words? Or play on your own, time yourself and see if you can beat your time.
Remember there are also lots of phonics games on https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/ for you to play and practice your phonics skills.
Hope you all have a brilliant day. Don’t forget to check back on the blog later for our weekly celebration!

Hello,
I hope you are ready for a challenge. Today we are going to build on the skills from yesterday and focus on finding a quarter and half of an amount. Finding a quarter is even trickier than finding half. Have a look at these links they might help you remember how to do it.
