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:

Or just go to YouTube and type in Fresh Start Fitness to see a variety of mini workouts.
Remember to email EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk with any photos of you doing any of the challenges.
Have a lovely day!

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

Good Morning! Today looks like it’s going to be a sunny day J Hopefully you can enjoy the sun and do some of your learning outside.
Sentence of the day
Here are the answers for yesterday’s sentence of the day. Well done to everyone who managed to put the time connectives in the correct order.
First fill your flower pot with twigs and dried leaves
Next find a shady area of the garden
After that put some stones in your flower pot to stop it flying away
Then add some sugar to the pot

Phonics
Let’s make sure your brains are up and awake before we find out todays phonics challenge. How many tricky words can you remember from yesterday? Put on a 2 minute timer and see how many you can remember. Did you manage to spell them all correctly?
Todays phonics challenge focusses on the oa sound family.
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!

Connected Curriculum Learning-Plants and growing
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=RSBcMYYEwtM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLhTgTwbYMI
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.
Date: 4th May 2020 @ 11:28am
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…

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

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 !

Hello,
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.
Today I want you to find a half and a quarter of an amount. Remember to find a half, you need to share an amount into two equal groups and finding a quarter is sharing an amount into four equal groups.
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.
Challenge 2

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

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!

Good morning everyone,
I hope everyone enjoyed some relaxing colouring yesterday, here is a picture of mine. It isn't quite finished yet but I had a nice relaxing hour doing it last night:
.jpg/colouring(1)__427x320.jpg)
Today's challenge is to do a mindfulness breathing activity. Mindfulness can help you relax and be in the moment, appreciating everything that's around you.
Just one breath
Find a relaxing place where you won't be disturbed. Sit in a comfortable position, either with your legs crossed or any comfortable posture. This activity can be done in as little as one minute, but you can also do it for longer periods of time.
Begin by setting a timer for one minute.
Start breathing deeply in and out. Notice how the breath feels as it moves in and out of your body. Notice how the air feels on your skin. Pay attention to any sensations that you notice or any sounds that you hear.
Take another slow deep breath and see if you can imagine how the breath moves down into the lungs and then back up again. Thank your body and breath for giving you life and keeping you healthy.
Take one more deep breath and hold the breath for a moment - then release it.
If any thoughts worry you, try and imagine your thoughts immersed in a white, puffy cloud and push the thought cloud out of your awareness.
Afterward, notice how you feel after taking this one-minute break.
If you want to tell me about your experience or send any photos of yourself doing the activity then e-mail me on EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk.
There are more simple instructions below.

Hello everyone,
It's a rather miserable looking Wednesday out there so my wellbeing challenge today is an indoor one.
It's actually quite a simple challenge today; I'd simply like you to do some colouring. Colouring is a lovely relaxing activity that you can do on your own for some me-time or together with a family member to make it a more sociable activity.
I think most of you were given some colouring pages when we finished school but if you've already used these and don't have any more at home then good news, there is a website where you can do online colouring without having to have any colours or anything printed out:
https://www.online-coloring.com/
Or you could always draw something to colour! Anything you like.
I have a new Enchanted Forest colouring book that my husband bought me (pictured below) that I'm going to do a bit of colouring in later, maybe while I listen to a podcast or to some music to have a bit of a break from staring at a screen. I'll post a picture of my efforts tomorrow.
Remember to send in pictures of your challenges to EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

For today’s phonics challenge I want you to make your very own phonics ai family bingo game.
First you will need to make a bingo card for all of your family with different ai words on – remember they must all be different otherwise everyone will win!
Next you need to write down all of the words that you will call of pieces of paper and fold them up.
Then when your family are ready to play you can take a piece of folded paper and call the word, they will need to cross of the word on their bingo cards if they have it.
Finally if you want to play extra games, make extra cards so that you and your family can take it in turns being the bingo caller.
Good luck!
Hope you all have a great day. Don’t forget to email us if you have any questions or super learning!

Hello,
Today's maths challenge is going to be based on doubling. We are all really good at singing the doubling song to help us remember out doubling facts. It seems such a long time since we last sung the song together so have a go at singing it to your adults. If you would like to sing more doubling songs then follow the links and have a go at learning something new.

Good morning everyone,
Today's challenge is all about thinking positivity and making the most of your time while you're not at school .
Imagine looking into a cyrstal ball 3 months from now.
Draw or write what challenges you are facing, what positive changes you want to make and what might be different in 3 months time.
Try to focus on things that seem possible to achieve like starting a new hobby, learning a few words in a new language or getting better at some of your learning like reading or times tables.
I've done mine on the computer (on MS Word) as my paper is in the study where my husband is on a video call for work so I didn't want to disturb him! But you can do yours however you want.
I've included a picture of mine below if you want to have a look!
Please feel free to tell me about any of the wellbeing challenges you have done, I'd love to see what you're all doing in your free time! You can now e-mail me on Ealhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk to let me know (or to contact me or Mrs Harriott about any EAL home learning too)
Have a good day!
Mrs Glover

Good Morning! It was great to see you all up and busy doing your home learning yesterday, we had so many emails and pictures to reply to which really made us smile! Well done!
Sentence of the day
Here are the answers from yesterday’s sentence of the day. Lots of you spotted the mistakes so well done. Here are my corrections as well as some of yours that you have sent in.
Courteous's sentence of the day! Well done Courteous!
For today’s sentence I’m going to write some instructions. But are the time
connectives in the right order? Time connectives tell us which order to do things in. They are really important in instructions because they help us do them in the right order. Put on your detective hat, what have I done wrong?
