Good morning,
I hope everyone is well and taking good care of their mental health this week. We are still looking at kindness today and how important kindness is to keep everyone happy and healthy. Today's challenge will hopefully help everyone to see that kindness is all around us and I bet there are things that others do for us (and that we do for others!) that we barely even think about.
Today we're going to draw a kindness heart.
First of all draw a large heart on a piece of paper. Then on the left hand side write all the things that people do for you that are kind, all in different colours. Then on the right hand side write all the kind things that you do for others in different colours. If you can't think of many then maybe have a think of things that you could do. The acts of kindness could be as simple as just smiling at someone or saying good morning.
Here is mine if you would like to steal some ideas!
If you would like to share your kindness hearts then as always please feel free to e-mail me on EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

Thanks to Mrs Iqbal who sent me her kind acts for the week!
Well done to the children that are still sending in their mask designs as well as their kindsness acts (one here has even made his mum a cup of tea and some biscuits!)
Reading and writing challenges
Date: 19th May 2020 @ 10:13am
Reading challenge
This weeks reading challenge is to try and level up on Lexia.
https://www.lexiacore5.com/register
If you are unsure of how to log in have a look on the blog post titled Lexia and active learn, you’ll find all the information you need there. If you are still struggling send us an email and we will be happy to help you J
Writing challenge
For this weeks writing challenge you will be using the bug hotels that you made the other week. Don’t worry if you didn’t get chance to make one or if you can’t find yous, you can just make one this week before you do your writing challenge.
This week I would like you to write your own instructions on how to make a bug hotel. Use this check list to make sure you have everything you need in your instructions
Bossy verbs are our words like put, fill, find, add, peep. They are words that are bossing about the person who is reading the instructions. These words usually come at the start of your instruction, just after your time connective. For example, First fill your pot with water.
Time terms are your time connectives – first, next, then, after that, finally
If you need a little help writing your instructions then watch the video all about how to make a bug hotel and read the instructions below. Remember these are your own instructions, so if you made the bug hotel in a different order then that’s ok J

Tuesday Sentence of the day and phonics
Date: 19th May 2020 @ 10:11am
Good Morning everyone!
We hope you are all awake and ready for your home learning. If your brain doesn’t quite want to wake up this morning then maybe have a dance or do some yoga to get it woken up and ready to learn J
Sentence of the day
Here are the answers to yesterday’s sentences…
Could the elephants stand on their heads?
Did Mrs Green ask Mr Green for some cake?
Oh wow shouted the people when the dolphin flipped in the air.
Have a look at today’s sentences what are they all missing?
i see a strand of hair on the screen.
on monday steve sprinted to school/
the stray dog scratched and scratched his head.
Phonics
Let’s start our phonics by quickly recapping some of those three letter consonant blends. Have a look at the different pictures below. Which blend is missing from each word? You don’t have to write these down if you don’t want to, just say the consonant blend that you think is missing.
Today’s phonics focusses on polysyllabic words. Polysyllabic words are words that have more than one syllable for example windmill has two syllables – wind-mill, Saturday has three syllables – sat-ur-day. Syllables in a word always contain a vowel – A, E , I, O U. It is useful to know this to make decoding words easier. When we read polysyllabic words we chunk them up to make them easier to read.
Challenge one – Watch the video and find the syllables in the different words. Don’t forget to do the actions as they will help you to understand how many syllables are in a word.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlBc703kYMg
Challenge two – Read the words, clap out the syllables and decide how many syllables each word has. Colour in the syllables in different colours
For example towel
Challenge three- Now look at the different pictures. Say the word that you see and write it down. Use the syllables you hear to help you.
Hope you all have a lovely day!

Good morning Year 2!
I am so excited today. I have been working really hard on something new to show you. Instead of posting all of our daily activities on our blog, I have decided to create a padlet where you can see all of you daily and weekly tasks and some extra links all in the same place. It is still important to check the blog each day as I may still post some extra information or learning on here too :)
Here is the link to our new Padlet -https://padlet.com/y2homelearning/obn2yxcgbsitjnx5
Adults: Please let me know via email if you find it easier on the Padlet or if there is anything you would like me to change. I want to make home learning easy for you as well as for the children.
Go and have a look. I hope you love it as much as me :)

Hello Year 5!
Did you manage to do an act of kindness yesterday I wonder? Livvi made me a birthday breakfast, which I thought was very kind! What could you do today that's kind to yourself or to someone else? Perhaps you could write a letter to a family member or friend who you haven't seen for a while, or perhaps you could help your grown up around the house (offering to help with dinner, or hoovering, or keeping your room tidy!)? Let us know what you get up to!

Good afternoon!
We've just got back from a little bike ride to our friends' house to drop off some carrot cake cupcakes as our act of kindness for today! It's getting very warm outside - I think tomorrow looks like it'll be very hot!

Good Morning from Miss Wendt!
Like Mrs Hodges I've been thinking about kindness too. Sometimes the smallest things can have the biggest impact. Let us know today what you have done to be kind to others.
My act of kindness today is to make Katy a pot of tea. Katy has lots of meetings all day, so I know she will appreciate it. I know it doesn't seem like a big thing, but for me it is. The smell of tea makes me feel really ill, and the taste of tea is actually enough to make me sick. In fact, I accidentally drank someone's tea once and was sick in the sink in Y3/4!
Here is today's fluent in five!
I have to say I did laugh at Miss Brookes being shocked that I don't like tea! Here are the answers for today's fluent in five.

Good Morning Year 5! From Miss Brookes
I have to say, I am shocked. I have never met someone who dislikes tea! Tea always makes me feel better if I'm stressed, how can someone not enjoy that luxury?
Today's act of kindness, is for my step-niece. She doesn't have any brothers or sisters, it's her Dads first day back at work today, and her step-mum works all day from home. So she'll be feeling a little lonely. My act of kindness today, is to find some time this evening is to cheer her up by playing Animal Crossing on the switch, with her - she loves to take her character into my world and play virtual hide and seek!
Here is today's GVP work:
If you get stuck on any of the terms, here's a link to all of the videos we have done so far:
You just click on the one that you can't remember, and it takes you back to that video. I was surprised when I created this list for you - I couldn't believe how long it was! We have got so much learning done, well done everyone. I'll add the answers at 1pm.
Here are the answers:
Now onto today's Science.
Today's science is a practical task, and I have attached a worksheet to help you (remember to click on the link at the bottom of the blog post).
This week, I would like you to create a sundial. A sundail can be used to tell the time, based on where a shadow might be. As we discussed right at the start of this unit, the Sun looks like it's moving across the sky, even though it isn't - it is just the Earth's rotation. When the Earth spins, and we're facing different parts of the sun, we create different shadows.
I've attached a Gnomon template for you to use (gnomon means 'shadow maker')
Here are the instructions:
1. Carefully cut out the gnomon and attach it ot the sundial. Make sure that it stands vertically.
2. At exactly midday (12pm), take you sundial outside. Place it on the ground and rotatae it so that the shadow cast by the gnomon falls on the 12pm marker. Make sure that you do not move the sundial from this position, or it won't work properly.
3. Calibrate your sundial. At 1pm, use a ruler and a pencil to mark the line of the shadow cast by the gnomon. Label this line 1pm (the instructions with the template says 2pm, that is an error and it should say 1pm).
4. Repeat at 2pm and 3pm.
5. The next day, mark the shadow lines at 9am, 10am and 11am.
And then your sundial will be complete! Don't forget to email us pictures of your sundial - I can't wait to see them!

Good Morning Reception!
Are you ready for your maths learning today?
Here is a fluent-in-five for you to begin with! How quickly can you answer these calculations below?? Can you work them out with your adult at home and see you if you can beat their time??
Yesterday in our maths blog, we were looking at how our numbers can be represented through using ‘tens frames.’ We were looking at how to answer addition questions using tens frames to help us! Please refer to yesteday’s Maths blog if you did not see it!
Today we are going to be using tens frame to help us to...
Recognise our numbers being shown in different ways
Help us with early addition skills
Here is a link to the interactive tens frame we were using yesterday, you can have a go at these activities to begin with! https://www.nctm.org/Classroom-Resources/Illuminations/Interactives/Ten-Frame/
Below I have posted links to some different activities when working out with tens frame:
The first activity is a ‘tens frame matching game!’ You have to look closely at the tens frame and work out the correct number of counters in them. There may be some other numbers there to trick you – see if you can work out which numeral matches the tens frame correctly!
How many counters are in this ten frame? What would the correct answer be?
The second activity is a ‘number bonds to ten’ activity. You have to carefully count the orange counters in the tens frame and work out how many more counters you need to add to work out the total answer. There is a number sentence underneath, you need to fill in the empty box which represents the blue counters!
Can you count the orange counters? Can you count the blue counters? Can you add on from 5 to work out how many there are all together? Fill in your answer in the empty box!
Have fun! J

Good Morning Reception!!
Today I would like you to think about where the whale took the snail on his back. In the story the whale took the snail to lots of different places around the world including…
The Antarctica where they saw penguins.
A desert island with lots of palm trees and a volcano.
In the deep ocean.
A place with lots of mountains and bears gazing at them.
I want you to imagine if you were the snail where would you like the whale to take you. It could be…
A place like a desert, cold area or with lots of mountains.
It could be a country, maybe one that you have already visited.
It could be a made-up place.
Use the sheet attached to finish this sentence:
If I were a snail, I would want the whale to take me to…
If you are in Mrs Iqbal and Mrs Cooper's phonic groups use the connective 'because' to give a reason why you would visit that place.
For example,
I would like the whale to take me to New York in America because I want to see the Statue of Liberty.

Let’s start today’s phonic activity by recapping our Phase 3 tricky words. Start by singing and joining in with the tricky word song at the bottom of this blog.
Now play quick write using the Phase 3 tricky words. Your grown up will say a tricky word and you must write it correctly. Choose 2 tricky words and put them in your own sentences.
Sing along to the ‘ar’ song on the video at the bottom of the blog. How many words will you be able to read…?
Today’s practise and apply activities are:
Activity 1 – Choose some of the words from the ‘ar’ song and play treasure hunt. Write the words on scraps of paper and hide them in a room inside or in the garden. When you find a word read it and write it.
Activity 2 – Play ‘ar’ roll and read.
Activity 3 – Write the ‘ar’ word under each picture.
Activity 4 – Play Dragons Den on Phonics Play using this link https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/3/dragons-den
Click on the ‘ar’ sound to read the real and fake words.

This week we are continuing our CC topic on Climate Change and now that we have researched some of the causes and problems of cimate change we are going to find out about some famous people who are striving hard to change the way we live and to protect our planet.
Do you recognise these Climate Change Warriors?
|
Sir David Attenborough
|
DaDame me Jane Goodall |
Greta Thunberg |
Sir David Attenborough Dame Jane Goodall Greta Thunberg
This week’s task is to choose at least one of these “Climate Change Heroes” and find out what they have to say about the challenges the world faces in dealing with climate change, how they have helped educate the world about these problems and what they suggest everyone can do to play their part.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/45880639

https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/47467038
https://www.willowprimaryschool.co.uk/sir-david-attenborough/
Again you can present your research in any format. Perhaps you could use your findings to create an “interview” with questions and answers from your favourite warrior. You could create a poster or fact-file, maybe even a news clip or voiceover to a nature clip expressing their views.
Make sure you show what you have learned about your hero and why they are an important person to know about. I hope you have fun finding out about these inspirational people!

Well here we go again...
Maddison was as quick as ever to answer and select what we should do next! She has chosen to 'Investigate the Dressing Table'. Is that what you would have done?
Well here we go; let's see what fate awaits us...
The dressing table is full of ornaments, books, bottles and miscellaneous trinkets. You pick up an elegant bottle and read the label, Werewolf’s Blood. You throw it back to the table, disgusting!
Do you ignore your disgust and drink some blood
Go for a lie down as you are feeling sleepy
Leave and try the left-hand door.
Who will decide what we should do next? Remember we are looking for a ruby heart!
Date: 18th May 2020 @ 10:57am
Did you know that this week is Mental Health Awareness Week?
The theme of this week is all about ‘Kindness.’ In these uncertain times that we are living in now showing and receiving kindness is great for our own mental health. Watch the video at the bottom of this blog to give you more information.
This week we would like you to create a ‘Kindness Jar.’ This is what you need to do…
Get a jar, plastic bowl or any container that you can find at home and label it with something like ________’s Kindness Jar.
Next use the acts of kindness cards for some ideas and choose 7 acts of kindness that you will be able to complete this week. One for each day of the week, including the weekend.
Then write the acts of kindness on scraps of paper or on post it notes.
Fold the paper up and put them in your jar or container.
Each day pull one act of kindness out of your container that you are going to do.
Here is Adam's Kindness Jar. Today he has pulled out the act of ‘thinking about someone in need.’
I wonder what acts of kindness you will do this week...Don't forget to send in photos of your acts of kindness.

This week we are celebrating mental health awareness week. I know that things may be a little different at the moment and some of you may be finding the change a little difficult and thats ok! I have some down days too! I thought I would share some ideas with you to help think about our mental health. This year the theme is kindness.
- First of all, I would like you to read the book attached ‘What's going on inside my head?’. You don't have to read it all at once. You could read a page per day this week. I loved reading it this morning as it made me realise we are all unique in our own way :).
- Think of the things that make you feel happy or calm. I know that having a bubble bath makes me feel relaxed. I would like you to write 5 things down that make you feel happy. Can you create a poster to put up in your household with things that make you feel happy? That way if someone is feeling down, they can always look at it for ideas to cheer them up.
- Can you write down 5 kind words to describe somebody in your household?
- Can you do something helpful for somebody in your house? You could clean your bedroom or make them their favourite breakfast. Don’t forget you must always ask an adult for their permission to you use the kitchen.
- Can you complete 30 minutes of cosmic kids yoga to make you feel relaxed?
I would love to see what you get up to this week during mental health awareness week. If you have any other ideas, I would love to share them with the rest of the class :)

Good morning everyone, its the start of a new week!
Thank you to everyone who has sent their amazing face mask designs, I've been blown away once again! Have a look below to see what you have all done.
This week it is Mental Health Awareness week so I will be posting some activities linked to this. Mental Health means looking after yourself to make sure that you are happy and healthy. The theme is kindness and involves being kind to yourself and others.
For today I've attached a little booklet for "The power of kindness" where you have to draw or write what kindness means to you and then write (or draw) 5 kind acts that you can do this week (it says month but I think we can squeeze them all into a week!) The acts of kindness can be either being kind to yourself or being kind to others. Perhaps a mix of both would be nice. If you can't print out the booklet then you can just type or write them out like I have :-).
Kindness to me means doing something nice to make somebody feel good and loved.
The 5 things I am going to do are:
1. Make my husband some cups of tea
2. Send a friend a little message through the post to cheer them up.
3. Phone my mum for a chat.
4. Have a nice relaxing foot spa while I watch one of my favourite films (for me)
5. Buy myself a litle treat while I'm out shopping, maybe some nice chocolate! (also for me!)
As always, please let me know what your ideas are by e- mailing EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

Have a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qcyc68d6OAk&feature=youtu.be
The theme this year is 'kindness'. Obviously with everything going on at the moment, it is even more important to be kind to yourselves and to others.
As a challenge this week, we would love for you to carry out or reflect on an act of kindness.
If you can, take a photo or video (with permission!) and send it to us on Twitter (@year6ravensbur1) use the hashtags:

Vocab challenge
Over the past few weeks we have been looking at recycling. I have asked you to research key words which may have helped you understand why recycling is so important to the environment. Using your knowledge and your new vocabulary, can you use what you have learned about recycling to explain why it would be bad for the environment if we were to stop recycling objects? The challenge is to use as many of our new words as possible!
Reading Challenge
I would like you to read the book attached with help from an adult. If you cannot see all of the words, do not panic. Just listen to the audio instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf4b4no8ric . I would then like you to answer the questions below. I don’t expect you to answer them all in one go. Why don’t you try and answer a few questions per day? That way you will become more familiar with the book and the characters :)
1.On page 2, the author uses rhyme. What two words rhyme in the extract below?
But his stripes were too straight and his tentacles too few,
he just floated in the sea not sure what to do
2.On page 3, the words terrible and swallowed are in bold. Why do you think the author has put these words in bold?
3.Can you think of three other words the author could have used instead of terrible?
4.The author has used questions throughout the book. Can you find the questions and write them down?
5.The author has used lots of different suffixes throughout the story. Can you find them and write them down?

Science Challenge
This term, we have been looking at directions. As one of your challenges, I asked you to google your postcode to become more familiar with your surroundings. Whilst we have been off school, I am sure many of you have been going on daily walks to get out of the house. As an extra challenge this week, I would like you to note down any directions you have taken whilst on your daily walks. Do you always go the same route?
Have a great day!

Hello,
We hope you had a fantastic weekend and are ready for some more maths learning today!
Today we are going to focus on Measures with a focus on comparing then measuring the height of an object.
When we compare the height of objects we use the words short, shortest, shorter, tallest, taller, taller than and shorter than.
Watch the following links to see how you can use this vocabulary to compare objects.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrpSjTLTD3k
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi6fyV4C5GQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCzbgcAJBYc
Now you have a good understanding of how to compare objects according to their height see if you can complete the following challenges
Challenge 1
Complete the worksheet challenge at the bottom of the page- comparing the height of objects.
Challenge 2
Find 3 different objects in your house or garden. Put the objects in height order, starting with the shortest.

Maths Daily Challenge - Thursday 21st May
I was thinking it would be nice to have lots of flowers in my garden but I’ve not planted any seeds so I can’t have them.
This made me feel sad so I decided to reuse old things I had around the house to make pretend flowers. I used tubes and rolls and plastic shopping bags to make a big piece of flower art in my house. I’m going to take it in to Nursery and put it up in the outdoor construction area I think.

Challenge
Use anything you can find to create a flower garden in your house and remember to label either the petals or the flower so we can remember how many petals each one has.
I can't wait to see your flowers!

Hey Diddle Diddle

Say the rhyme with your grown-up and find all of the objects beginning with ‘c’ in it.
Make a poster of objects beginning with the same initial sound and label each object. I chose c c c c cow and c c c c cat from the rhyme and then thought of more objects beginning with ‘c’.

You might want to make a different sound poster with ‘m’ objects like moon, man.
Send in photos of your sound posters to nurseryhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk
It’s performance day tomorrow! You will be showing me your favourite rhymes performed in new and interesting ways.
