Good morning everyone,
I'm sorry I didn't post a wellbeing challenge yesterday but I was in school! I meant to do it the night before but then forgot and had an early night ready for school yesterday, oops! Sorry about that but I'm back today and have a choice of 2 for you to do to make up for it.
You've been very creative lately (please see the past challenges below!) so I'm giving you something a bit different today. One is i you would like to relax and one is if you would like to have a bit of fun.
The first challenge is to do Jason Manford's comedy kids quiz at 1.30pm today, available from the following YouTube link. If you can't do it at 1.30 then it will be up for a few days after. and if you want more then have a look on his YouTube channel for past quizzes! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhVLZjO7Tms
The second challenge is also at 1.30pm although I think you can watch it later if you're not free then! The National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth are doing Turtle Time! A live video of their Green Sea Turtle who is called Friday. I always find watching sea animals very relaxing so you could watch it, learn some facts about turtles and then have a go at drawing the turtle. Ths live video will be on facebook so you'll have to ask an adult to log in to their account if they have one. https://www.facebook.com/NationalMarineAquarium/live/
Please e-mail me to let me know how you did in the quiz or any facts or pictures you have of the turtle! EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

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!

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 :-)

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:

Remember to email EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk with any photos of you doing any of the challenges.
Have a lovely day!

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 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

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

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.

Hope you're all having a lovely time learning at home with your adults.
Let's start with the answers for yesterday.
Sentence of the Day answers:
Julie and Ben were walking through High End park on Sunday when a fox jumped out of the bushes and chased them all the way back home to their house on Windmill Lane.
They all need a capital letter because they are proper nouns – they are the name of a person, thing or place and therefore need a capital letter.

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:
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

Good morning Year 3,
Half way through another week of home learning! We are so impressed with all of the work you have sent in to us this week!
First of all... here are the answers for the sentence of the day and fluent in 5 from yesterday:
A mountain range is a group of mountains found on land or under the sea. Some mountains used to be volcanos like Ben Nevis in Scotland Snowdon in Wales.
A needs a capital letter to start the sentence.
Under not unda – it has the er suffix
Sea not see – this is a homophone, two words that sound the same but are spelt differently and have a different meaning. Sea is like the ocean which is the one we want. See is to see something.
Some not sum – again, homophone. Some means a few of something and sum means the sum of something e.g.the sum of 2 numbers in maths.
Used – It may sound like it has you at the beginning but it is just the ‘u’ sound
2 in 1 = Wales – first of all needs a capital letter because it is the name of a place and secondly, it is spelt differently. Whales are the animal. Wales is the place.
2/3 of 12 = 8 3/8 of 40 = 15
4/10 of 50 =20 2/4 of 44 =22
Well done if you got those answers correct! Now on to today's challenges.
Sentence of the day:
Can you spot where the capital letters should go and why?
julie and ben were walking through high end park on sunday when a fox jumped out of the bushes and chased them all the way back home to their house on windmill lane.
SPAG Activity:
Maths Activity: Addition and subtraction of fractions with the same denominator.
Remember, you only need to change the numerator by adding them together or taking them away. The denominator stays the same.
The answers are only these 3 fractions on the bottom so if you got a different fraction to 3/10, 7/10 or 9/10 for your answer, check again carefully.
CC activity:
Watch this video on getting to the very top of Europe’s 10 tallest mountains and imagine how it might feel whilst you were stood at the very top of them. After all that hard work and training, how would you feel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Imiz_vi_Ozg
Now, can you write a short diary entry as if you were one of the people in the video? Remember, a diary entry is FIRST person. That means, I, I’m, we, my, us, me, I’ll – you know this from your Boudicca diary entries! See how much you can describe. Answer these questions:
What can you see?
What can you hear?
What can you smell?
How do you feel?
What are you thinking?
Start with:
Dear Diary,
I can’t believe we’ve finally made it to the top. The view is …
We can't wait to read them all!
Finally, speaking of reading. We set you a challenge to read in as many different places as you could, we've had a few emails back with pictures of this which were great! Keep sending your pictures of you reading in random places to y3homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk - Here, we've seen Miss G reading... in her bath!!!
She's reading on her tablet. Remember, you can read using Lexia and Reading Plus and lots of other online platforms too!
Happy learning at home!
