Wednesday Challenge

Date: 29th Apr 2020 @ 10:43am

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.

Maths Challenge

Well done to everybody who has been logging on to TTRockstars. Today, I would like you to try and beat your time from last week. I know you can do it.

Miss Hamer

Wellbeing challenge number 13

Date: 29th Apr 2020 @ 10:36am

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

Mrs Glover

Past challenges

A big thanks to Roderigo from Year 1 who sent me a picture of his crystal ball challenge from yesterday, some fantastic goals there!

Wednesday 29th April :)

Date: 29th Apr 2020 @ 10:06am

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!

Miss Humphreys, Miss Faragher and Miss G :)

PS. The Roman Shield challenge ends on Friday! Remember to send your pictures in of you designing or creating a shield!

Wednesday sentence of the day and phonics :)

Date: 29th Apr 2020 @ 9:52am

Good Morning Year 1! We hope you’ve had a great week so far. I have loved looking at all of your home learning pictures! I think this weeks celebration is going to be a long one!

Sentence of the day

Well done to all of those children who spotted the mistake! The time connectives were in the wrong order! It should have looked like this…

#

Here are Gerards and YuXiangs sentences, well done boys!

Now look at today’s sentence. Look at the green for growths, have I used the correct grapheme (phonics) to spell the words?

Phonics

Let’s have recap of yesterday’s phonics. Sort these words into the correct sound category. I have two for you…

Can you think of any other words to put into the categories?

Watch the video and see if you can guess what todays sound will be?

For today’s phonics challenge I want you to make your very own phonics ai family bingo game.

First you will need to make a bingo card for all of your family with different ai words on – remember they must all be different otherwise everyone will win!

Next you need to write down all of the words that you will call of pieces of paper and fold them up.

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!

Sentence of The Day

Date: 29th Apr 2020 @ 9:26am

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? 

Wednesday 29th April

Date: 29th Apr 2020 @ 8:44am

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

Wednesday 29th April - Dragonfly Puppets

Date: 29th Apr 2020 @ 8:15am

Hi Reception!!
 

Whilst we are learning about minibeasts, and the weather isn’t great outside, I thought it would be a lovely idea to get crafty and make some dragonfly puppets!

You will need:

Coloured paper (for dragonfly body)

White paper (for wings)

Paper straws

Glue

Hole punch

Scissors

Pencil

Your first instruction, using a pencil, create a dragonfly body template using coloured paper. Now create a wing template onto white paper (see pictures below.) Draw some lines onto the dragonfly body to help as a guide for folding.

Using scissors, cut out the templates and begin to fold the paper backwards, then up and down again, creating a concertina effect on the dragonfly body.

Use a hole punch on the dragonfly  body while it is folded, and feed the paper straw through. The top of the body should hang off quite a bit.

Add glue on the underside and end of the long piece of paper hanging off the straw. Then curl it around into a circle and secure the end on the first fold on the front of the dragonfly body to make the dragonfly head. See the pictures below as a guide.

Turn your dragonfly body face down. Flatten the first fold on the body and add glue to the middle of it. Glue the dragonfly body down in the centre of the wings.

Add a googly eye or draw an eye on each side of the face of your dragonfly craft.

Ta-da, your dragonfly craft is complete! How amazing!

Please email in your pictures, I can't wait to see your fantastic creations!

Wednesday 29th April - Doubling and Halving Board Game

Date: 29th Apr 2020 @ 8:14am

Good Morning Reception!

Here are your three fluent-in-5 questions for the day! See how quickly you can work them out!

Today I have posted a super doubling and halving game for you to play at home!

I have attached the template onto a link below for you to print. If you don’t have a printer, you could ask an adult to help you to make your own copy of the game on paper!

The rules are simple - Simply roll the dice and move to the square indicated. Then, complete the instruction by correctly doubling or halving the number on that square. If you answer correctly, you stay where you are. Answer incorrectly and you must go back to where you came from.

Have fun! See how far you can get! Can you get to the finish?

Email in to receptionhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk, we can’t wait to see how you get on!

Wednesday 29th April - Maths

Date: 28th Apr 2020 @ 2:21pm

Hi everyone!

Today we are going to start our Maths learning by singing the days of the week song.

Click on the link below to listen to the days of the week. You can teach this song to your grown up as we sing it every day at Nursery!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtQcnZ2JWsY

Jasper's beanstalk

Today we are going to be looking at the order and sequence of the story.

You can remind yourself of the story and listen to it again by using the link below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4OIrJWXfjs

Today I would like you to talk with your grown up about what Jasper does on each day of the week.

Use the picture cards attached below to discuss what he does on each day of the week.

Talk about the order and sequence of the story. What does he do first? What happens next? Which day follows? What happens on that day?

Today is Wednesday. What does Jasper do on Wednesday? What will he do tomorrow? (Thursday)

Below I have attached a rhyme to help you remember the order and sequence of events for the story.

Wednesday 29th April - Phonics

Date: 28th Apr 2020 @ 1:27pm

Good Morning!

Let’s start our learning today by listening to a rhyming story.

UCan you join in with the words to the story and repetitive phrases?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoQyyB5xvLk

Today we are continuing to learn about rhyme.

We are going to play a game called ‘odd one out’.

Have a look at the pictures on the strips below and say the name of each item.

Listen carefully … can you find the one that doesn’t rhyme with the others? Remember to listen to the sound at the end of the word.

Let’s see if you can find the rhyming pair?

Which one is the ‘odd one out’?

You could collect some objects from around your house and have a go at playing this game with items too! (You may be able to use the following rhyming pairs: hat, cat, dog, log, pan, can, car, jar, pen, ten, duck, truck. Then find some other objects too that will not rhyme)

Ask an adult to choose 3 items (a rhyming pair and one that does not rhyme) and place them on the table. Point and name each item. Then have a go at finding the rhyming pair and the ‘odd one out’.

I hope you have fun playing this rhyming game!

Good morning everyone,

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

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!

Good morning Year 3, 

WOW, Miss Faragher and I are so impressed with the work that we recieved yesterday! And all of the love heart pictures for Mrs Thewlis to create a brilliant video with. In case you didn't know, Mrs Thewlis recently uploaded a video of the staff sending a picture of themselves with a love heart ... link is attached below in case you haven’t seen it. She has asked us to challenge everybody in our class to send a picture of themselves doing a love heart with their fingers. She will then make a little video/collage and upload to the twitter and website pages. There’s also a prize for the class who get the most responses! So send your pictures in as soon as you can!

Let's get to it!  ANSWERS FROM 28.04.2020

First of all, here are the answers to yesterday's sentence of the day and fluent in 5. 

Suddenly, rain started pouring down so fast! The sun had been out all day and then the rain came. That meant one thing… a rainbow! It was beautiful and so colourful. There were so many different colours, I couldn’t believe my eyes!

Capital letter for Suddenly because it starts the sentence

Exclamation mark rather than question mark. It is not asking a question.

meant – spelt wrong           beautiful – spelt wrong                  colourful – spelt wrong

1/3 of 12        =4                                   1/8 of 32                 = 4

1/4 of 44       =11                                  1/10 of 90               =9

Today's sentence of the day

a mounten range is a group of mountains found on land or unda the see_ Sum mountains yoused to be volcanos like ben nevis in Scotland Snowdon in whales.

Errors in green:

-Mountain is spelt incorrectly. It has the ai sound like rain

-There needs to be a full stop at the end of the sentence.

-Ben Nevis needs capital letters because it is a proper noun – it is the name of something.

7 unmarked errors (including a 2 in 1 error)

Today's fluent in 5

Focus on non-unit fractions

2/3 of 12                                              3/8 of 40

4/10 of 50                                            2/4 of 44

Remember non-unit fractions are similar to unit fractions to work out, they just have one extra step. Divide the whole number by the denominator (bottom part of the fraction). Whatever answer you get, times it by the numerator (top part of the fraction). E.g. 2/3 of 30          30 (whole number) ÷ 3(denominator) = 10          

10 (answer) x2(numerator) = 20    20 = answer.

Today's CC activity:

Yesterday, we introduced mountains as part of our 'Can I grow lettuce on a mountain summit?' topic. Today, you are going to do the same activity of a KWL grid but for rivers. 

Get a piece of paper: Draw a table like this.

Fill out the what you already know section and the what you would like to know about rivers.

Once you have done all of that, watch this BBC bitesize video about rivers, https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z849q6f/articles/z7w8pg8

Read all of the information below the video, then there is a quiz at the bottom. Have a go at that and see what score you get!

If you visit https://www.theschoolrun.com/homework-help/rivers there are lots of pictures and facts on rivers that might help you with the next job.

Your job is to now write three facts about rivers in your ‘what I know now’ column. Send us your results of the quiz and your 3 facts to y3homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

Our reading challenge

Yesterday, we challenged you to read in as many places as you can. Miss Faragher has been found reading under her table!!

Send in your pictures of you reading in as many different places as you can to y3homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk. Remember - this could even be whilst you are on Lexia or Reading Plus. There will be prizes for those children who are working their way through their work on these apps! 

And finally... remember, I challenged you to make your very own Roman shield, you have until Friday to send them in! We've seen some amazing ones so far!!! 

Good luck with all your work! You're doing a fantastic job so far.

Miss Humphreys, Miss Faragher and Miss G :)

Tuesday Sentence of the day and phonics

Date: 28th Apr 2020 @ 10:03am

Good Morning! It was great to see you all up and busy doing your home learning yesterday, we had so many emails and pictures to reply to which really made us smile! Well done!

Sentence of the day

Here are the answers from yesterday’s sentence of the day. Lots of you spotted the mistakes so well done. Here are my corrections as well as some of yours that you have sent in.

Courteous's sentence of the day! Well done Courteous!

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?

Phonics

Lets have a quick read practice of those tricky words from yesterday. Look at the video and turn the sound off! Can you read the tricky words? Give yourself a point for every word you read correctly? How many points did you get? Can you beat your score?

Watch the video below to find out all about todays phonics…

We hope you all have a lovely day. Don't forget to send your home learning and love heart pictures into us at y1homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

Jasper's Beanstalk

Date: 28th Apr 2020 @ 9:57am

In the story ‘Jasper’s beanstalk’ Jasper planted a bean and waited for the bean to grow.

Hopefully the weather will stay fine this week, so when you go outside have a look around and see if you can spot things that grow.

What plants, trees or flowers can you see outside or in your garden? You can use the 'plant and flower hunt' sheet attached to see which ones you can spot.

Talk and describe to your adult what you can see.

How long do you think it has taken for the plant, tree or flowers to grow?

How do you think it has changed?

You could draw a picture or take photographs of the plants / trees you find.

It would be great if you could plant your own bean /bulbs / plants / flowers or vegetables at home and watch them grow. You would then be able to see how it has changed over time.

I am going to plant sunflower seeds in my garden and watch to see how tall the sunflowers will grow!

You could even try planting pepper seeds or apple pips and watch to see if they grow too!

Have a look at the picture below for some creative planting ideas.

You can also use the links and activities below to find out some more about growing and planting:
