Good morning,
Well done Faith from 2CC who e-mailed us yesterday in record time to correctly tell us that it was the French flag and the capital is Paris. She also knew that my name is in French is mon nom est (or you could also have had je m'apelle)
Here is today's flag. Can you tell us the country and capital city? What is the main language that is spoken in this country? Bonus point if you can tell us any of the other languages that are spoken here too!
Have a lovely day,
Mrs Glover

Here is chapter 16 for you and some questions to answer after.
https://www.showme.com/sh?h=4WEHE5w
Chapter 16 Questions
On page 169 why is Michael worried about ‘The Greatest Plan in the World’?
On page 170 find and copy a word that means encouragingly?

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 Year 5!
Another beautifully sunny day, I wonder if you'll go on a little walk or a bike ride today? Livvi and Asaph did some baking with Jon yesterday and made lemon shortbread, it was very tasty! Let us know what you get up to!
We've another few activities ready for you today, so check back on this blog post to make sure you don't miss anything!
Tomorrow we will all be having a day off to celebrate 'VE day.' It stands for 'Victory in Europe," and celebrates the end of the second world war in Europe. We've attached some extra VE activities for you all, that are entirely optional, if you want something to work on tomorrow. Miss Brookes' street is having a 'social distancing party.' They are all standing outside their houses for a 2 minute silence at 11am, and then sitting in their front garden to enjoy a coffee/tea and cake! Hopefully the weather stays sunny for it.
Don't forget to check your class blog later for the celebration post, and please continue to email us your heart photographs - each class has sent in 7 so far.

Miss Wendt here!
Hello everyone, looks like it's going to be another lovely sunny day. Hopefully you will be able to get outside for some fresh air; the children who live next door to me have just got a new trampoline and paddling pool. I am very jealous, I might even see if I can order a paddling pool for me!
Here are today's fluent in five questions.
And here are the answers!
For Spanish today I want to recap on something we know quite well. Next week I am going to look at a new topic with you, but for today I want to consolidate our learning about food.
I think we all have quite a lot of food vocabulary, but in case you can't remember any (and that does happen!) I have attached a word mat to download and inserted the image below!
We are going to think about how we say our likes and dislikes today. We use the phrases:-
Me gusta - I like
No me gusta - I do not like
Me encanta - I love
So for example, if I wanted to say I love cheese (which is very true!) in Spanish, I would say me encanta queso!
I have attached a powerpoint with lots of examples, and a series on images below that will help.
Why not email the Year 5 team and tell us what you like and dislike? En Espanol por favor!

Good Morning Year 5 from Miss Brookes!
I wonder if this is how Mrs Hodges feels? Knowing that today is the last working day of the week - it is a very strange feeling, but it must feel ordinary for Mrs Hodges!
Today's GVP is our recap of the week, plus a quiz to test your knowledge. Don't forget to check back at about 1pm for the answers, and if you want me to mark any, please feel free to email them across at y5homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

Good Morning Reception!!
Have you enjoyed the story ‘The Very Busy Spider’ this week…? Adam did not like it very much because he hates spiders!!!
Today I am wondering what if another animal landed on the fence and started to do something else....???
What would it be…?
What would it do…?
What other small creatures could have landed in the farmyard….?
Today I want you change the main character; the spider in the story and think about the questions above… Create a new front cover using a new animal. Here are some ideas…
Bee - busy collecting pollen from flowers
Caterpillar – busy munching leaves
Butterfly – busy flying around
Worm – busy wriggling in the soil
Use the minibeast wordmat to think of other small creatures that could land on the fence.
Your new front cover can go on the sheet that I have attached on the blog or you could design it on a piece of paper.
Mrs Iqbal and Mrs Cooper's Phonic groups I want you to write a sentence describing your new animal and what it is doing. Try to make your sentences longer by adding the connectives 'and' or 'because.'
Love Mrs Iqbal

Good Morning Reception!!
Let us start today’s phonic activity by getting active with a Jack Hartman song. Click the link at the bottom of the blog.
Today we are going to continue thinking about the sounds oa and igh that we have learnt this week.
How many words can you read in 20 or 30 seconds…? How many words can you read in 1 minute…? Ask a grown up to time you!!!
How many alien words can you read…? Ask a grown up to time you!!!
Today’s practise and apply activities are:
Play Word Treasure Hunt using the oa and igh words. Write or print the words and have two containers or buckets with the sounds oa and igh written on them. Hide the words around the space where you are working inside or outside. When you have found a word read it to your grown up and place it in the right box/container. Watch the video where Adam is showing you how to play the game.
Play the oa and igh woodland board game.
Play the oa and igh roll and read game.
If you do not have a dice, you can google a virtual dice or use the link below:
https://www.random.org/dice/?num=1
Which activity will you pick…? You can do 1, 2 or all 3 of them…

Maths Daily Challenge - Thursday 7th May
Today were going to look at how we can create our own shapes from something I’m sure you have been collecting over the week - toilet or kitchen roll tubes. Tubes are round and curved but they are also flexible so you can squash them into whatever shape you want to create. Will you make straight edged shapes or curved? Are there any shapes that are curved and straight?
Shape Toilet Roll Challenge
Look at the picture of toilet roll shape printers and work together with your adult to make your round, curved toilet roll tubes into new shapes. You choose which shapes – it’s your challenge.
Dip the end of the shape roll into paint or food colouring or even muddy water and make prints. You could do your printing in the back garden, on the pavement, on paper or material - anywhere your grown up says you can. I had to use tomato sauce for the red in my picture and I didnt have paper so I used kitchen roll!
Talk about one of the shapes you’ve printed to see if your grown-up can guess which one it is. You’re not allowed to say their shape names! You have to describe it.
Show me your shape pictures and all of the other things you’ve been creating this week by emailing
nurseryhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk
Another shape challenge coming up for maths coming up soon.
See you tomorrow

Phonics Daily Challenge - Thursday 7th May
Today we’re going to create and make a friend to help us play a fun phonics game. Then we can practice making groups of objects that have the same sound. We’re not linking the sounds to our names for the rest of the week so when we write the letters today and tomorrow we will NOT be writing capital letters any more.
Sound Monster challenge - s,a,t
Make a sound monster, like the one in the photo, using any box you have at home. This one is a tissue box with eyes and teeth and a tongue glued on to it. I’m going to call him Sammy Sound Monster. What are you calling your monster?
Then feed your monster some objects that begin with its’ favourite sounds. The challenge is to find things beginning with ‘s’ or ‘a’ or‘t’ and let your monster snack on them! Make sure there are lots of silly sound effects too!
Remember to practice writing the initial sound too:
|
Say the sound |
name the letter |
write the letter |
|
Stretch sssssssnake |
letter s |
slither down the snake |
|
Bounce a a a apple |
letter a |
round the apple, down the leaf |
|
Bounce t t t t tower |
letter t |
down the tower, across the tower |
I’ll be back tomorrow with some more sounds to find

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!
Story Adventure The House on Haunted Hill Part 3
Date: 6th May 2020 @ 9:36am
Well I cannot wait any longer so I am going to decide where we go next on our story adventure. We had these two choices in Part 2 of the adventure...
Do you want to investigate the source of the noise
Or
Continue to find a back door
I am quite a nosey person so I have an urge to investigate the source of the noise. Here we go..
You cautiously walk towards a large, dark bush to see what is causing all of the noise. The rustling is getting louder and then stops.
You strain to hear it when suddenly a powerful dog leaps out from the bush, its ferocious attack surprises you and knocks you to the ground. Its ravenous jaws dribble saliva all over your face and then before you have time to defend yourself it snaps its mouth shut!
Your adventure is over.
Oh! Oh dear!
At least we get more chances. Tomorrow we will see what will happens when we continue to find the back door instead. Come on year 6 I need your help with the choices, as you can see mine are not always the best!
Date: 6th May 2020 @ 9:27am

Good Morning Reception!
First of all, I’d like to say a big WELL DONE to all of the children who participated in their maths learning earlier this week! Your teachers are so proud of you! J
Today let’s begin our maths learning with some familiar songs and some fluent-in-five questions! How quickly can you work them out? Can you get an adult to time you?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TgLtF3PMOc&t=17s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGetqbqDVaA
Today in our maths learning, we are going to belearning about CAPACITY. We have learnt a little bit about capacity before in reception, it sounds a little bit tricky, but it’s not! Capacity is the amount something can contain (a container, box, etc!)
Take a look at a funny capacity video/song below!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4UC_StFhAk
In reception we have taught this before by looking at different measurements of water and rice in cups. We use the vocabulary of ‘full’ ‘almost full’ ‘half full’ ‘empty’ ‘almost empty’ and ‘half empty.’
Below I have posted a list of activities linked to capacity that you can try at home:
Container activity: Provide children with different containers. Can they make their container full, nearly full, nearly empty and about half full. Can they find a container which holds more than their container? Can they find one which holds less?
Spoons activity: Provide your child with a bowl or cup and a selection of different sized spoons and ladles. Ask them to investigate how many small spoons it takes to fill their container. How many large spoons? How many ladles? Which sized spoon was the best? Why?
Outdoors activity: Provide a small box for children. Ask them to hunt for things to put inside. How many items can they fit inside? Can they find the prettiest leaf? A small pebble? What is the largest item you can fit inside your box?
Don’t forget to email in pictures of your maths learning! Enjoy! J

I think we've got a couple of lovely, warm days with us today and tomorrow, hooray! I managed to weed the garden over the weekend, and I'm very pleased with how tidy it's looking, so I'm excited to be outside for a bit later today. I think Asaph is keen to put up a mini tent we have and use it as a den!

Hello! Mrs Hodges here.
Two activities from me today - firstly, the Sentence of the Day.
https://www.showme.com/sh?h=SBGz0oi
There's not many corrections in today's sentence because I'd like you to focus on adding in parenthesis where you think it would be most helpful (clue: remember parenthesis can be used to explain the meaning of a technical or scientific word...if you're not sure what any of the words in the sentence mean, go back and rewatch Tim Peake's YouTube video I posted on the Monday blog!)
The second activity is a Writing/Vocabulary activity. I've attached a Pobble document called, "Fairytale Ending" - I'd like you to look at two little activities from it. Firstly, have a look at the "Question Time" section and have a go at answering them to help you think about the image you can see. You could write your thoughts down or talk about it with a brother or sister, or your grown up.
Then I'd like you to focus on the "Sentence Challenge" part.
I walked across the field towards the door.
Consider other verbs for "walk" - how does changing this verb impact the picture the reader would have about the character and how they're feeling about approaching the house? To get you started, here are some other verbs you could use:
crept, sauntered, bounded, sprinted, wandered, strolled
Do you know the meaning of these verbs? Can you act them out to show how you would move? Are there other verbs you could use instead?
Practise writing 3 or 4 sentences where you change the verb each time, and think about how this impacts the meaning of the sentence. Which one do you think is most effective?
I'm looking forward to seeing your sentences!

Good morning everyone, hope you are all well and looking forward to a very sunny Wednesday. I was writing your reports in the garden yesterday. It was a chance to look back and think of all the fun things we do in Y5, and how much progress you have all made this year. I think in 10 years time we'll all still be talking about the events in 2020!
Answers from yesterday!
Have a look at the different ways I have chosen to partition 0.62. This question is a find all possibilities, there were many! Remember to email your answers.
Here is the fluent in five for today!
I'll be back later with the answers
...and here they are! How did you do today?

Good Morning Reception!!
Let us start today’s phonic activity by revising Phase 3 tricky words. Use your Phase 2 and Phase 3 tricky words. Play quick read. How many words can you read in 20 seconds or 30 seconds? Ask your grown up to time you!!!
Today we are going to think about a new sound. This sound is a diagraph. Remember a diagraph is two letters that make one sound. Our new sound is oa…
Watch this show me video where I am going through the diagraph oa:
https://www.showme.com/sh?h=pEfEZUG
Today’s practise and apply activities are:
Can you label the pictures with the oa words? Check your answers on the second page.
Play the caterpillar spelling game with someone in your house. Cut out the strip of words on the sheet and keep them to one side. Take turns to tell each other a word on the list which must be spelt in the box under your caterpillar. Check if it is correct with the list of words, then colour a circle on your caterpillar. Who will be the first to colour all 6 circles on their caterpillar?

Good Morning Reception!!
Wow!! I can't believe it's the middle of the week already!!! This week is going really fast!!
This week we started a new story called ‘The Very Busy Spider.’ If you have not managed to listen to it yet go to Monday’s reading blog where you will find the video at the bottom of the blog.
Your grown up will ask you these questions about the story, try to remember the story and say your answers in full sentences…
Where did the spider land?
What did the spider begin to do?
What did the horse want the spider to do?
What did the cow want the spider to do?
Which animal wanted the spider to run in the meadow?
Who said ‘Maa, Maa?’
The pig said roll in the mud, but the spider ignored him. How do you think that made the pig feel?
What word would you use to describe the spider’s web?
Today I want you to make some stick puppets and retell the story ‘A Very Busy Spider’ to someone in your house. You could colour and cut out the characters from the story and put them on straws or lolly pop sticks. You could even put little strips of paper at the back of each puppet and make finger puppets.
It would be lovely if someone in your house can video your puppet show and send it in to us.
Love Mrs Iqbal

Today’s story, 'No Matter What’ is read by Suranne Jones. It makes me feel happy when I read this story and there are so many rhyming words in this book too – just like in yesterday’s book.
Can you tell your grown-up some words that rhyme and then keep adding more to make a rhyming string?
I found two words that rhymed ‘small, all’ and then Mickey and Minnie helped me play a game to create more ’all’ words like ball, fall, call, nall, sall, rall, zall - yes that’s right I included some silly billy rhyming words too. Send a video in of you playing the game with your family.
