The Boy at the Back of the Class Chapter 11
Date: 30th Apr 2020 @ 10:55am
Here is Chapter 11 for you to follow today. I think the narrator of the story is like Felix from 'Once' in so many ways!
https://www.showme.com/sh?h=k9oSlNI
Think about Chapter 12. Using the title as a clue, what do you think the next chapter will be about?
Will he get to ask Ahmet any more of his questions?
Do you think Brenden-the-Bully will play anymore tricks?

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.

Happy Thursday Year 3,
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.
SPAG activity answers:
Maths activity answers:
Today's activities!
Sentence of the day:
Add the punctuation in to today’s sentence of the day.
Early in the morning the dazzling yellow sunshine appeared from behind the clouds What a beautiful sight it was

Good morning year 6. I hope you enjoyed writing a DAD (description, action, dialogue) sentence yesterday and you noticed that I had misspelt fierce and apprehensive yesterday. I asked you also to see if you could improve the word 'walked'. You could have used stumbled or trudged.
Today the sentence I am going to write is an action sentence using an expanded list and powerful vocabulary, making sure I keep the atmosphere needed for a spooky story.
Tom and Ahmet knew it was too late to turn back now! A dare was a dare!
Cautiously, Tom lifted the old, tarnished gate latch; the gate swung open, forced by the wind that had whipped up a strange force around them, they both clung on to each other, trembling, as they made their way to the ancient, warped front door and both stopped simultaneously and stared at the strange, yet familiar, symbol right in the center.
Can you spot the spelling mistake?
I have also included a 5/6 spelling in my sentence can you find it?
What do you think the word simultaneously means?
EXTRA! EXTRA!
Can you add some dialogue? What might Tom say to Ahmet? What could he reply?

Good morning everyone!
It's the last day of April - I don't know about you, but it feels like it's been a very long month!
I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that Livvi has finally finished her story (that she started over a week ago!), she's very pleased with it and titled it, "The Curse of Bastet". Asaph did some writing yesterday too - his teacher wanted him to continue the story of "Dinosaurs in my School" and think about two more places in school that the dinosaurs could ruin. He chose the playground and the toilets...and found it ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS that he drew a poo and wee in the toilet that the dinosaurs didn't flush away. He also needs to "have a stretch" after literally every word he writes. That's 6 year olds for you I guess! I'm definitely missing working with you wonderful Year 5 writers!
Anyway, let's move on from that...Miss Wendt, Miss Brookes and I are so enjoying see the learning you're emailing across, keep it up Year 5!

5HW are currently winning with 7 heart photos! 5CB have 6. Which class will win?

Hello from Miss Wendt!
Mrs Hodges, I was laughing so much at Asaph's "Dinosaurs in my School" story!
Sadly I don't have anything featuring dinosaurs, poo and wee - but I do have some maths! Have a look at today's fluent in 5 task.
*hint* remember our learning on square and cube numbers!
I've also included another challenge today, recapping on our fractions work which we completed at the start of the year. Who thinks they can email the correct response?

I will update with the answers later!
For our Spanish learning today, I have chosen a favourite song of 5HW's! The song is called Tengo Hambre which means I'm Hungry!
Have a look at the video below and try to write as many food words as you can. I promise you will be singing the song for days!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu5gm6LgCzo
Maths Answers!
Did anyone get the answer to the fractions question? The answer is...they were all correct! Whitney was counting in improper fractions, Eva in mixed fractions and Teddy counted using some equivalent fractions.

Good morning everyone! From Miss Brookes
My internet wasn't being cooperative this morning, so it took me a little longer than I would have liked to get this post up. It's working now, and hopefully it will work for the rest of the day.
I think Mrs Hodges will have to bring those two stories to school when we go back - I'm intrigued, especially by Livvi's effort and committment (and of course, Asaph's humour)!
I recorded today's GVP video yesterday evening, and I was all snuggled up with a blanket and a cup of tea - my ideal evening! Thank you to all of the children that have emailed their word mats for yesterdays learning - keep them coming!
Today's focus is all about adverbs of possiblity, and it will continue into Monday's lesson as well.
https://www.showme.com/sh?h=wJOX6Q4
Here's a reminder of the adverbs of possibility we used, to help you with your work:
certainly, definitely, maybe, possibly, surely, clearly, obviously, perhaps, probably, undoubtedly.
How many did you remember in 30 seconds?
Enjoy your Thursday!

Good Morning Reception!!
Today you are going to do something really exciting and make your very own information book about the minibeast that you found lots of information about. Remember I asked you to choose a minibeast from the text ‘Mad about Minibeasts’ and do some research and write some facts on the sheet below:
Watch the first video where I am showing you how to fold a piece of paper into a book that will have 8 pages. Pause the video at each point to make sure you fold the paper carefully. Ask a grown up to help you this, it may get a little tricky!!! The second video shows you how I used my information to write it in my little book. My cat Buffy decided to join me at this point and have a nosy at what I was doing!!!
Make your book as creative as you want. I cannot wait to see what they look like.
Good Luck!!!

Good Morning Reception!
This week in our maths learning we have been looking at doubling and halving quantities. Many of you have emailed in pictures of yourselves trying very hard with these activities so well done!
Today I would like you to have a go at these fluent-in-5 questions linked to this week’s learning!
Below I have listed ideas for some practical activities linked to doubling and halving that you can try at home:
Doubling with dominos: Provide sets of dominoes and ask the children to find the doubles. Show the children how to play dominoes and look at the doubles they make as they play
Play doubles using dice: The children take turns to roll 2 dice and score a point each time they roll a double. The first to reach 3 points wins the game.
Pebbles/cube doubles: Sit opposite your child. Demonstrate setting out a quantity of small items such as pebbles or cubes. Ask the children to double it by making the same quantity. You can also try this by holding up your fingers and asking the children to match them to make a double.
Sharing with fruit: Show the children a bowl of strawberries/grapes etc. Explain that you are going to share them into 2 equal groups so that there will be half for you and half for them. Put a handful straight onto each plate without counting – make sure that one plate has much more pieces of fruit than the other. Ask the children if that is fair. Prompt them to show you how to share the strawberries fairly by splitting them in half.
Sharing items: They could share out cards or dominoes before playing a game. Prompt the children to notice that sometimes they can make equal groups, and sometimes they have items left over!
Have fun completing your practical tasks! Don’t forget to share your learning at receptionhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch! :)

Good morning Year 2!
How are you all getting on with your connected curriculum/ science challenges? I would love to hear how you are finding our recycling topic.
Yesterday’s sentence of the day:
The children loved playing football so we decided to play it again.
Today’s English challenge
Today’s challenge is going to be a little bit different. I know that this is possibly a difficult time for you at home and I sometimes have my down days too. It is totally normal! In day to day life, I bet you hear lots of compliments from your friends and it might make you feel good about yourself. Today I want you to write down 5 sentences and include 5 things that make you feel proud of yourself. Remember, it doesn’t have to be anything big and there are no incorrect answers. Here are my sentences:
I am proud that I have finished my jigsaw this week and I have started a new one.
I am proud that I have finished my suduko puzzles without support.
I am proud that I have been on a run three days in a row because I sometimes find running tricky.
I am proud that I have managed to do lots of school work.
I am proud that I have been recycling more items.

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

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!!!

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!

Good morning year 6. Today we are going to continue to look at Spooky Stories and the sentence you are going to explore would be ideal for you to use at the start of a Spooky Story to hook in your reader.
As the feirce wind howled around Tom and Ahmet, the moonlight giving them limited visibility, they aprehensively walked up the uneven path and approached the ancient uninviting gates which guarded the monstrous house beyond.
Can you find two spelling errors? They are quite tricky!
I have also missed out an important piece of punctuation. CLUE- It is used to separate adjectives.
I would also like you to think of a better word than walked.
Write out your sentence and send it to us at our email address or Tweet us your sentence.
EXTRA, EXTRA!!
Could you now add to my sentence using DAD - I have written the description now you can add an action from the characters then some dialogue?

Good morning!
How is everyone today? We're up and ready for PE with Joe, and I think Livvi and Asaph have chosen to do some Science, Writing and Art for today. We'd love to see your completed activities for today, remember to email us!
Thank you to all the children who have sent us a heart photograph so far! They are: Jennifer, Denico, Victoria, Ivory, William, Zain, Alissia, Maddison, Aden, Rhianna, Lilly-Anne and Taissa! Six children in each class...I wonder which class can send them in first? y5homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

Mrs Hodges here!
Hello! Two activities from me today - the first is the Sentence of the Day, which is still to do with the YouTube video I posted on Monday where Chris Hadfield shows us how he makes a sandwich on board the International Space Station. Click on the link in Monday's blog post if you haven't watched it yet!
Here's today's sentence!
https://www.showme.com/sh?h=afialqi
The second activity is working on our writing and vocabulary. I've attached a document called, "The Visitor". First, I'd like you to have a look at the section called, "Question Time!" to get you thinking about the image you can see. Secondly, I'd like you to read the "Sick Sentences". At the moment, the two sentences given are not very detailed and use repeated vocabulary to describe the robot. Can you improve the sentences by describing what you can see in more detail? Remember that skill we've been practising in school - show not tell. How can you show the reader than the robot is big without simply telling the reader? See if you can write 3 or 4 sentences, including these things in some of your sentences:
* relative clause
* 2a sentence
* -ly, -ing or -ed sentence opener
* conjunction to extend the sentence
I can't wait to see the sentences you create! If you have time today, there's a lovely activity on the same document asking you to design your own robot and describe it. If you fancy doing this too, I'll be very impressed!
Thank you to those children who have emailed their Sentence of the Day in today! Click on the link below to see my purple pen!

Good morning from Miss Wendt!
After a very exciting time yesterday, today is back to normal. I've still got my balloons up though!
I thought we'd try a challenge today; this will practice sequencing and counting on/back in 10's. Have a look and I will post the answers later.
Have a look at Aden's work for a good explanation of the right answers! If you count back or forward in 10's, the ones digit will never change -
43, 53, 63, 73, 83
119, 109, 99, 89, 79, 69, 59
I've also attached a blank multiplication square, just in case you want to practice a timed challenge at home. Get someone else in your house to time you, and email me your times! We can create a leaderboard to see who can complete it the quickest!

Good Morning Year 5! From Miss Brookes
I hope you all enjoyed your Monday, I was especially happy when it rained as I enjoyed an impromptu 'family film night' with my parents, while video-calling my sister as she watched the same movie! I apologise to everyone that wanted sunshine, I may have jinxed it as it's looking chilly today too!
A huge thank you to everyone that has completed their Connected Curriculum challenge so far - be sure to look out for your photographs in Friday's celebration post.
Well done to Aden who has already read 5 books this week! There are quite a few of you who are almost there as well.
Now, onto today's GVP.
Today, we are looking at adverbials. I even included a fronted adverbial at the start of that sentence, can you spot what it is?
Don't forget to share your adverbial word mat with us, and keep it safe so we can use it when we go back to school. You can use the template attached, or create your own - whether that's on a computer or piece of paper (if you do it on a computer/tablet, email the document across to us and we will keep it safe until school returns). When we get back to school, we can laminate them to stop them from getting damaged, and then use them in our writing lessons! I'm looking forward to seeing how creative you can be.

Enjoy your Wednesday!
Wednesday 29th April Phonics/Reading
Date: 29th Apr 2020 @ 8:25am
Good Morning Reception!!
Let us start by singing a new phonics song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKsIi1MH4lw
Today we are going to think about the diagraph ng and all the diagraphs that we have learnt so far this week. Remember a diagraph is two letters that makes one sound.
Watch Geraldine the Giraffe video showing you how to read words with the ng sound in them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQshNmncnBs
Practise reading words in the diagraph flowers. See the sheets attached to this blog. How many words can you read in 1 minute? Get a grown up to time you. I saw Year 1 doing this on their blog...Find some interesting places in your house to read the words. Where will you do your reading...?
To further apply your knowledge of reading words with diagraphs play the game Bingo. Use the template that has been attached to this blog. Grown-ups put the words in a bag or box. Pick out a word and say it if it is on the board it must be covered. To cover the word, you could use pasta shells, small toys or even raisins. Once you cover all the words, shout BINGO!!!
Mrs Iqbal and Mrs Cooper's Phonic groups: Can you put some of the BINGO words into a sentence and draw a picture about your sentence...? As an extra activity make a ng flower. Your grown up will help you read the instructions to make the flower and you can then write the ng words in each petal of the flower.
Miss Williams and Miss Cogger's phonic groups: Play quick write with some of the ng words from BINGO and do the ng sound book activities.
Don’t forget to send in your photos/work to receptionhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk
