Tuesdays's maths

Date: 21st Apr 2020 @ 8:54am

Hello,

Well it looks like it is going to be a bright and sunny day today. It would be good if you could get your learning done before it gets too hot then you can play in the gardan or go for a walk as part of your families daily exercise.

Today we are going to continue  learning about the days of the week. Always remember that your first job is to write the date in your yellow exercise book, as neatly as possible. Miss Riley and I are looking for the child who presents their work the very best!

If it was Monday yesterday what day is it today? Remember to use a ruler to make a line underneath!

Here is a remnder of how to write the days of the week .

Today we are going to do have a go at solving some days of the week word problems. If you are still unsure about the order of the days look at the picture and sing the songs from yesterday to help you.

Questions

1.If today is Tuesday. What day will it be tomorrow?

2.If today is Tuesday. What day was it yesterday?

3.What  days do we normally come to school?

4.What days are at the weekend?

5.What day do we normally eat fish at school?

6. What day comes after Wednesday?

7.Which 2 days begin with the letter S?

8.My favourite day begins with the letter W. What day is it?

9.Today is Tuesday and I am going on holiday in 3 days. What day am I going on holiday?

10. Today is Tuesday and I am going on holiday for 7 days. What day will I come back?

Now I know some of you like a challenge so I have added an extra challenges for you to complete if you want to.

Tuesday - Repeating Patterns

Date: 21st Apr 2020 @ 8:32am

Good Morning Reception!

Who is ready for some more maths learning today?

First of all, let’s warm up with our count from 1-100 work out song!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TgLtF3PMOc

Super! Do you feel warmed up?

Today in our maths learning, we are going to focus on ‘PATTERNS!’

Does anybody remember what a pattern is?

A pattern is when we repeat something again and again.. this can be demonstrated through our movement, with shapes, numbers EVEN food, anything you can think of!!

Take a look at some examples of patterns in the videos below!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBjjxSx45-Q

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoFhVdYsmPg&t=34s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ9q4U2P3ig (My personal favourite!)

Here are some ideas below for how to represent a pattern…

How many can you complete??

If you want to challenge yourself to do EVEN MORE pattern learning - see the links attached below!

Tuesday 21st April

Date: 21st Apr 2020 @ 8:27am

Hello Year 5! 

It's another beautifully sunny day (I am SO thankful for this lovely weather we're having!), and we're up and ready for our day - Livvi, Asaph and I are going to start off doing PE with Joe Wicks, then I think they've chosen to start their stories today. Asaph's is about a dinosaur and Livvi's is an increasingly complicated story about the great great granddaughter of Howard Carter who discovers his diary, gets sucked into it (taking her back to the Ancient Egyptian era), and has to break the curse of the golden statue of Bastet. Or something like that...to be honest, it got a bit hard to follow as she was thinking of ideas yesterday, so wish me luck for today!! I'm going to set you a little writing activity tomorrow, I can't wait to read your ideas and brilliant word choices, I'm so missing reading your fantastic writing!

But back to today - remember to keep checking in with today's blog post to find the activities that Miss Wendt, Miss Brookes and I put on! Don't forget to email us to show us what you've been up to!

Good morning from Mrs Hodges!

Are you ready for today's Sentence of the Day? Remember it's linked to the YouTube video I posted yesterday of how astronauts exercise on the International Space Station, so check back to Monday's blog post if you haven't watched it yet!

https://www.showme.com/sh?h=iYCFZQW

I'd love to see your corrected sentence before I post my purple pen video later this afternoon!

Good afternoon! I hope you're having a lovely day Year 5! How did you get on with today's sentence? Click the link below to see my corrected sentence!

Hi from Miss Wendt!

Hello Year 5! Hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine. Like Mrs Hodges said, I too am very thankful for the lovely weather. I've set myself up a little desk in my back garden so I can enjoy the fresh air while I'm working. 

Have a look at today's maths. It includes a negative number calculation, a skill we first practiced in September! Who can remember the rules?

I'll update with the answers later!

Hello again!

How did you all get on? Did anyone remember the strategy we use to multiply larger numbers? Here are todays answers, see if you got 5/5!

See you tomorrow with a slightly different challenge!

Good Morning Year 5! Miss Brookes here. 

I hope you all had a wonderful Monday, and will have an even better Tuesday. A huge well done to the children that have already begun the reading challenge! I was very impressed when I checked Reading Plus yesterday evening.

There are two lessons from me today, GVP and Science!

Today's GVP is focusing on relative clauses (5CB know how much I love to use them!) I can't wait to read the sentences you come up with to describe Merlin and Disney Land.

https://www.showme.com/sh?h=d2xw1Eu

And now for science...

I was looking forward to recording the science video yesterday, this is my favourite science unit to teach! Just like our connected curriculum, it is all about Space (how exciting!) I've attached the worksheet I mention, and I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Which planet is your favourite?

https://www.showme.com/sh?h=QEbBamO

Can you think of a mnemonic to remember the order of the planets in our Solar System? 

Here is one:

Tuesday 21st April Writing

Date: 21st Apr 2020 @ 7:45am

Good Morning Reception!

Hopefully, you have had a chance to listen to our new text ‘Mad about Minibeasts.’ If you have not check it out using the link below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rDQN8I7RkY

Today I want you to start by playing the ‘What am I?’ game using the PowerPoint attached to this blog. Ask your grown up to help. How many minibeasts did you guess correctly…?

Next, I want you to look at the first page from the book where you can see all the minibeasts in the garden. I have attached it to this blog. Can you label the minibeasts you find in this picture? Remember to use your segmenting, blending and correct letter formation to write the name of each minibeast as you find it. 

You may want to pick your favourite minibeast and write a super sentence about it.

Don’t forget to send us an email with your pictures and writing!!

Tuesday 21st April Phonics

Date: 21st Apr 2020 @ 7:38am

Good Morning Reception!!

Today I want you to start by looking at the Phase 3 tricky words from your Phonic learning pack. Can you read them in different voices? Can you play fastest finger first? Ask your grown up to say a tricky word and see who finds it the quickest…

Why don’t you sing along with the tricky word song below?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R087lYrRpgY

I want you to continue looking at the Phase 3 sounds from yesterday and also use the Phase 2 sounds confidently in your reading and writing.

You are going to play a game called ‘Treasure Hunt.’ Use post it notes or any scraps of paper to write the following words…

After that, hide the words in your garden or room inside your house. You must take turns to find a word and read it. Every time you read the word correctly you will be given a reward. Grown ups the reward could be something to represent jewels such as pasta pieces, Lego, special pebbles or shells. Anything that is small and looks something like a reward/gem. 

Extra Challenge – Can you use your word that you find and write it? Mrs Cooper and Mrs Iqbal's phonic groups you may want to write some sentence. You can do your writing on a piece of paper or if you are doing the treasure hunt outside write it using some chalk on the ground. Please ask your grown up if this is want you want to do.

Good morning year 6. I hope you all enjoyed your Easter break and didn't eat too much chocolate!! I tried my best not to.

I have been looking at Spag.com and have noticed that some children have been completing the activities I have set. Well done to Dian firstly for completing all of the tasks set so far, I have put on two more tasks for you to complete this week. Michelle, Zarak and Cindy have completed two of the tasks set and Charlie, Sophie and Liam have completed one of the tasks so well done to you too!!

Come on the rest of year 6, I want to see your results as well. The year 6 team are expecting you to do at least one of the Spag Tests each week to consolidate the work you are doing in your Rising Stars work books we sent home.

I noticed that one of the questions asked you had to change a question to a statement and you all found it tricky and changed the question to a command instead.

E.g. Did you check your work?

As a statement it would be ‘You did check your work.’

You try this one- Will you go for a walk?

As a statement it would be… 

Welcome Back!

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:
https://www.theschoolrun.com/what-are-negative-numbers
(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?)
https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/37/placing-numbers-on-a-number-line

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!)
https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/52/temperature--word-problems-

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.

https://www.storyboardthat.com/storyboards/chelsea51535/the-boy-at-the-back-of-the-class

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

Good Morning Everybody!

Hope you all had a fantastic Easter and had a teeny tiny bit of chocolate? Anyway, it's so lovely to see all of your pictures and work that you have sent in to the email and to the school Twitter account. Just want to shout out especially to Ben who looks like he's had a brilliant time making his very own Roman shield! How amazing!!!

I would love you to have a go at making your own. I have included below a picture/outline of a Roman shield. Your mission is to decorate your very own Roman shield. You can present it however you like, you might want to print out the outline below, draw it yourself or make it out of materials like Ben. Either way you decide, send your finished Roman shields to y3homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk and I will be able to display them on the blog and the Twitter page. I will be looking out for those people who have put lots of effort into their shield and can't wait to see them all! You have until Friday 1st May to get them sent in to the email. Get crafting!

Sentence of the day!

Here is the sentence of the day. Send your completed sentences back to y3homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk - I will post the correct sentence tomorrow morning so look out to see if you are correct.

Errors in green:

-Before needs a capital letter as it is the beginning of the sentence

-There needs to be a comma after ended as it shows our fronted adverbial for time

-Full stop is needed at the end of the sentence

5 unmarked errors - Good luck!!

My challenge for you this week is to see if you can go up a level in your TT Rockstars. Remember, you want to end up as a Rock Hero! Keep practicing! I can see Fisayomi is 7th out of everybody in the school!!!! That is amazing Fisayomi, keep it up! Can anybody catch her?

Weekly Reading Challenge

Date: 20th Apr 2020 @ 9:58am

Good Morning everyone!

It's been great to see that some of you have been on Reading Plus, and have been earning that hot chocolate and biscuit (I can't wait to give it to you)!

The same rules apply here in our Reading Challenges, those that show they have tried their best will be earning some outstanding awards. 

This weeks focus is still on Reading Plus. Since the beginning of this month, over half of you haven't been on the website - not even once. I understand that sometimes it can be tricky to find the time in the day to use Reading Plus, but even something as short as 15 minutes a day can help boost your reading skills. 

Therefore, this week I am setting you the challenge of reading 3 books. Some of you may wish to read more, but a lot of you haven't read any yet (or have only read 1 or 2 since the programme began!)

If you cannot remember your log in details, or you are struggling to access the website, please do email us and we can try to help: y5homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

Connected Curriculum - 3 Week Challenge!

Date: 20th Apr 2020 @ 9:34am

Good Morning everyone! 

Our focus this half term is Space, and more specifically, 'what's inside an astronauts suitcase?' 

This is my favourite to teach, so I am very excited to share the three week challenge with you! Below, there are six different activities to choose from. These include: writing, research and creating activities. 

It is entirely up to you which activity you choose - I'm going to choose one as well to complete - so pick the one that makes you the most excited for learning. You have three weeks to complete it. 

If you choose to create the 'how to' guide for surving on the International Space Station, here are some useful youtube links:

Space Kitchen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZx0RIV0wss

Sleeping in Space - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyFYgeE32f0

Brushing your Teeth in Space - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU9kffoAQ8U

Washing your Hair in Space  - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOIj7AgonHM

Those are just a few of the exciting videos out there. If you search on youtube Chris Hadfield International Space Station you will find even more! 

There is also a great website for finding out about different planets at: https://space-facts.com/planets/ 

I haven't decided which challenge I am going to accept yet, maybe I will make a space helmet out of tinfoil, or perhaps create a fact file about my favourite planet (which is Mars). 

Look out for my weekly science lessons as well, because they will also be focused on Space and might help you if you're researching planets! 

Don't forget to send pictures of what you have created to y5homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk
