Wellbeing challenge number 16

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

Monday sentence of the day and phonics

Date: 4th May 2020 @ 10:17am

Good Morning! I hope you all had a lovely weekend! I went on a lovely peaceful walk and made some cookies to eat when I got back.

 

Sentence of the day

On Friday you were challenged to think of as many adjectives as you could to describe the bug hotel. Here are some brilliant examples of children using adjectives to improve the sentence. Well done!

This week, your writing challenge is to write your own set of instructions on how to make a bug hotel. So, today’s sentence of the day challenge is to put these instructions in the correct order. Write the numbers next to the sentences along with first, next, then, after that and finally.

______fill your flower pot with twigs and dried leaves

______find a shady area of the garden

______put some stones in your flower pot to stop it flying away

______add some sugar to the pot

______peek inside to see which bugs have visited your hotel

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

Well done !

Wellbeing challenge number 15

Date: 1st May 2020 @ 10:21am

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

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!

Wellbeing challenge number 14

Date: 30th Apr 2020 @ 10:02am

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:

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

Wellbeing challenge number 12

Good morning everyone,

Today's challenge is all about thinking positivity and making the most of your time while you're not at school smiley.

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)

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?

  2. finally find a shady area of the garden
  3. After that put some stones in your flower pot to stop it flying away

Happy Monday everyone!

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend and made the most of the lovely warm weather (I think it might be the last hot sun for a while although it seems nice so far this morning!)

Today's challenge is to do something that I have just discovered myself although my husband has been nagging me to do it for a while - Listen to a podcast.

A podcast is a bit like a radio show that you can download to your tablet, phone or laptop and listen to either while you relax or while you go for a walk. Some include music, some are educational, some entertain you and some are just good for helping you relax. You can listen to them with others or by yourself if you need a bit of me time.

This weekend I have been listening to one called Sounds of the 90s by Fearne Cotton that includes lot of music from the 90s as well as intervews with 90s pop stars. I've been listening to it while I go on my hour long walks every day and I think some of the teachers may also enjoy it!

Here are some podcasts I've found that I think you might all like, the links are under each description:

But Why: A pocast for curious kids
A podcast answering lots of questions that you may find interesting!

Storytime
10 - 15 minute stories (mostly for little ones)

What if world 
With wacky episode titles such as "What if Legos were alive?" and "What if sharks had legs?," this series takes ridiculous "what if" questions submitted by young listeners and turns them into a new story every two weeks.http://www.whatifworldpodcast.com/

Noodle Loaf
A delightful offering from a music education specialist and his co-host daughter will get kids of all ages singing, rhyming, moving, and engaging in all kinds of musical games. The segments, games, and songs are so silly and upbeat that the whole family will enjoy participating. Little listeners can even add their voice to the theme song in the podcast's electronically compiled kid's choir!

Be Calm on Ahway Island

Monday sentence of the day and phonics

Date: 27th Apr 2020 @ 8:21am

 

Good Morning. I hope you all had a lovely weekend! We are really looking forward to all of your learning this week and can’t wait to see all of your pictures of you busy with your activities!

Sentence of the day

Here is Friday’s sentence of the day. I quite enjoyed improving this sentence with my purple pen.

Here are some examples of children who improved their sentences too…

 

Today you are going to be a detective, get out your magnifying glass and put on your detective hat. You are going to go on a capital letter and full stop hunt! Where does it need capital letters and full stops? Are there any capital letters and full stops in the wrong places?

 

Send your new answers to the email at the bottom so that we can post them on the blog tomorrow!

 

Phonics

Today’s phonics is all about those tricky words again.  In your home learning packs you have all of the tricky words that you need to have a practice. Practice reading them, writing them and playing games with them.

There are lots of tricky words games on https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/2/tricky-word-trucks like the tricky words trucks game.

If you don’t fancy going on your tablet or computer today why not try and make a game of tricky word hopscotch. Play with your family, who can cross the words out the quickest?

 

Hope you have a lovely day. Don’t forget to send your learning into us – y1homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk
