Hello from Miss Kenwell!
Hi Year 6, and welcome back to the blog, I hope you all had fantastic Easters and have been managing to get outside to enjoy this amazing weather! It feels really strange not going into school again after our break and I'm sad that I don't get to see your faces for a little longer but don't worry, we've got plenty for you to be doing at home!
Make sure you check the blog daily, Miss Thornton, Mrs Ranyard and I will be putting up activities for you to have a go at each day and you should still have plenty left to do in your packs. We're really looking forward to seeing what you have been up to! I loved getting to see some of the learning Charlie has been completing - as well as working through his pack he has been so creative and has been keeping super busy cooking, making cannons out of different materials and creating his own games! Well done Charlie! I'm sure some of you have got some great activiteis you've completed - send them in, I love seeing them!
Maths
This week we're going be doing a bit of number and place value revision - this is really important as having a good understanding of number will help you with every other maths topic we cover!
Have a read of this to recap what we need to know in Year 6:

(There's a few games to practice to remind yourself of what negative numbers are!)
Once you are more confident, try these activities:
1. Place negative numbers on a number line (trickier than it sounds - can anyone get it exactly?)

2. Working out differences in temperatures - there are 4 different activities here - work your way through them (try drawing a number line to help you with these!)

That's it from me today - make sure you get outside, do some exercise, draw, read or do anything that you enjoy, take lots of little breaks!
Looking forward to seeing what you have been up to! Send us pictures/ask us any questions at y6homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk or tweet us at Year6Ravensbur1

Hello from Miss Ranyard!
I hope you've all had a wonderful Easter break at home and spent lots of lovely time with your families. I really wish we were all heading back into school today to catch up with each other but it is still nice to be back in touch again at least!
Apart from eating lots of chocolate and catching up on some reading in the sunshine and chasing after my twins, I have really enjoyed hearing about all the marvellous things that people are doing to help others in these strange times. I am sure you have all heard about Captain Tom Moore, the 99 year old man who has been raising money for the NHS. What an amazing man he is and what a lovely story to hear at this time.
I have attached a report about his incredible efforts - I though you might like to read and answer the questions attached too especially Michael in my English group as I know he has tweeted that he needs more things to read! Well done Michael!
Please get in touch by email or twitter and let us know if there is anything you would like us to put on the blog for you.
I am sure that you have all been enjoying listening to Miss Thornton reading the novel "The Boy at the back of the Class". Before the holidays we got up to Chapter 6. Here is a summary of the story so far made on a storyboard- it is a really fun way of showing the story as a sort of comic strip- click the link below and create your own summary of the story so far.

Please email or send us a copy of your storyboards to share, we would love to see them,
Mrs Ranyard
