Hi, Mrs Glover here again!
If you enjoyed Chester zoo being live a few weeks ago then good news, it's back again! Starting at 10am they'll be showing many different animals. I've added a picture of what is happening and when underneath and here is the YouTube link:

Good morning everyone, another lovely sunny day! I can't wait to get out there in the sun for a bit.
Fot the last day of the week I'm giving you a slightly different wellbeing challenge today and it's something that always makes me feel happy and a bit better if I'm feeling a bit low.
Today's challenge is to do something nice for someone. Here are some ideas below although feel free to do one of your own ideas!
1. Read or tell a story to a younger brother or sister
2. Tidy your room
3. Do a chore or job for someone at home
4. Give someone a compliment
5. Share a toy or some food with someone at home
6. Make someone a present, picture or card
7. Offer to help an adult with the cooking or washing up
8. Write someone a poem or story
9. Tell someone a joke
10. Phone a friend or send them a nice message
See how many of the 10 you can do and remember to let us know what you have done!
I'm going to do some baking for my husband for my good deed and maybe make him a nice dinner as well. In fact, I might go and take him a cup of tea while he's doing his work! :-)
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Glover
Friday sentence of the day and phonics
Date: 24th Apr 2020 @ 9:29am
Can you believe it’s already Friday? This week has flown by and we have loved getting back onto the blogs and seeing all of your amazing home learning! Check back on the blog later and we will have our very own Year 1 celebration of all the fantastic things you have been doing at home!
Sentence of the day
Here are some pictures of children who managed to find the nouns in yesterday’s sentence. Well done! Here is a picture of the sentence with all of the nouns underlined. Remember a noun is a person, a place or an object.
Today’s sentence is going to have a little bit of everything we have done this week. I want you to find ways that you can make my sentence better. It might be missing capital letters, it might need some question marks. Maybe you could add some adjectives in before the nouns to make it more interesting.
Phonics
I loved seeing your phonics activities from yesterday. Watch the tricky word video again to check if you can remember them today …
Today’s phonics focuses on the oo sound family.
In your home learning packs you have some games and activities which all focus on the oo sound family. There are also lots of games on https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/ (your username and password is in the home learning pack) Use these activities as a start point and then I have a challenge for you.
I want you to design and make your own game. The game must be all about those oo sounds. You could have a snakes and ladders game with different oo words on the different squares. Maybe you want to write down as many words with the different oo sounds in them and play a game of snap or pairs. You could even play oo sound bingo!
I can’t wait to see the games that you have made! Just remember they must have the oo sounds in them!
Good Luck and don’t forget to send pictures of you playing your games to y1homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

Hi everyone,
I hope everyone is finding ways to enjoy this amazing weather, I don't think we've ever had such a nice April before!
So today's wellbeing challenge is another way to make the most of the weather and get out in your gardens and do some gardening!
Here are some nice ideas for things to do that you don't really need many resources for: https://www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/grow-plants/10-gardening-projects-for-kids/
I bet you'll already have a lot of the things in your house or garden or you could collect some of them like twigs etc while out on a walk (make sure you wash your hands after if you do that!) My favourite is the fairy garden.
Alternatively you could plant some seeds from something that you've just eatedn such as tomato seeds.
If you don't have a garden then why not design and draw your own garden (or fairy garden!) instead? You could maybe try and re-create it when you're older and have your own garden!
I have a balcony rather than a garden and had never done any gardening until a few weeks ago but below are a couple of pictures of the things I've planted! I'm watering them every day and the sun is making most of them grow nice and tall.
Have fun and remember to let us know what you've done!

Thursday Sentence of the day and phonics
Date: 23rd Apr 2020 @ 10:01am
Good Morning! We hope you are all well and staying safe, we've had lots of emails and pictures sent to us with all your home learning. It's put a big smile on my face this morning to see you all so busy and doing your home learning. Keep sending us pictures of you doing your activities!
Sentence of the day
Well done to all of those children who improved yesterdays sentence. It would be lovely for you to send some pictures so that we can share them on this blog.
This is my new and improved sentence
For todays sentence of the day you are going to become detectives! I want you to find all of the nouns in the sentence.
A noun is a person, place or thing. Look at the poster below to help you to remember.
Can you read the sentence and underline all of the nouns.
Phonics
Today our phonics is focussing on those tricky words. In your home learning packs you have flashcards with the tricky words on as well as some worksheets. Use these today to help you with your challenges.
Watch the video below so that you can remember the phase 5 tricky words. If these are a little hard and you think you might need more practice at phase 3 or 4 that’s ok, just type phase ¾ tricky words into youtube J
Our new topic this term is all about plants and how things grow. This week we have challenged you to create art work using things you find in your garden. Can you use these things to write out the tricky words?
Heres an example of some words I have made in my garden
Hope you have a lovely day. Don’t forget to send us pictures of you doing your learning to y1homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk. If you have any questions please email us and we’ll get back to you J
