Good morning Nursery 

It's good to see that the beautiful weather is still here. We hope you enjoy a little bit of sunshine in your garden or on a walk today. When you're outside can you see if you can spot groups of objects? Or maybe you can make groups of toys in your house?

I've been reading one of our favourite books this morning, 123 by Alison Jay. It has lots of our favourite characters in it and they are in groups. Why don't you read the story with someone in your family? Can you point and count and remember how many in the groups? Use Success Spider's Success Criteria photo to help you do clever counting.

Later on I'm going to take some photos of groups of objects that we see when we go out for our walk and I'll post  them here on the blog. Mrs Heritage and I would love it if you could send us some of your photos.

You ought to put more effort in, in your maths lessons.

26.03.20 - Maths

Date: 25th Mar 2020 @ 11:50pm

Good morning everyone! 

It made me giggle yesterday when I saw myself in the background of Denico's and Rhianna's photograph! It also made me smile, because it showed me that you are benefitting from the videos and it made me feel very helpful - so thank you!

Today's focus in maths, is all to do with scales and converting measurements (grams and kilograms).

If you don't have the worksheet, I've also attached it to the video. Whatever worksheets you choose to do, is your choice - but if you feel like doing some conversions, enjoy the video!

If you want to have some more practice, have a go at the questions below. Remember, there are 1000g in a kg. So if you are changing kg's into g's you have to x1000, if you are changing g's into kg's you have to ÷1000.

I can't wait to see your answers again.


1. 3.56kg = __g

2. 4.5kg = __g

3. 5600g = __kg

4. 4200g = __kg

5. 1.68kg = __g

Then use the numicon shapes to make 10.

8 and 2 makes 10

8 add 2 equals 10

There’s a penguin in my kitchen!!

Date: 25th Mar 2020 @ 2:38pm

I've just found out about something really cool! 

If you go onto google and type in the name of any animal, then select view in 3D you can make it look as though the animal is in your house! I now have a penguin in my kitchen! 
 

I thought this would be cool for your Connected Curriculum lesson where you have to research an animal and find out facts about it. Have a try for yourself and send me any pics or videos you make!

Worry people

Date: 25th Mar 2020 @ 10:49am

Dear 2HR, 

I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine, I know I am! Today is Artful Wednesday. I would like you to make or design something from a simple sketch to a junk model. I have decided to make some worry people to help me get through this different and possibly confusing time. These little people could be great friends to share any worries with. I didn't have any fancy materials so I used an old cloth instead. 

Please remember to share your art with me through our email address. It would be lovely to see what you have all been up to.

Hello Year 6!

I hope you have been looking after yourselves and staying safe at home. What amazing weather we have been having - if you have somewhere safe to go outside, make sure you are getting lots of fresh air and making the most of it!

Today I have 2 challenges for you:

1. Gary Lineker is back and he needs help with another maths puzzle. This week it's percentages! Have a go at solivng his questions - let me know how quickly you could do it.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/znjqtfr/articles/zsgwq6f
I have attached a knowledge organiser to help remind you how we solve percentages - remember to look in your red books too! (Don't forget about your magic %!)

2. This week I have been reading Mythos by Stephen Fry - it's all about Greek myths and I have really enjoyed it! Unfortunately, I am nearly finished and I just don't know what to read next! I'd love to hear your suggestions - I'm all out of ideas :(
Could you create a book review of something you have read recently that you think I would enjoy? You could write about it, draw it or even present it as a video (I know some of you are so creative with technology and can probably think of an even more exciting way - I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with).

Send these into me at: y6homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk or tweet me at: Year6Ravensbur1 - Check back to see what my next book will be!

Some other fun things you might like to try at home this week:
10am - Oti Mabuse from Strictly Come Dancing - live dance lessons (I know how much you all love dancing!) 
11am - Storytime with David Walliams. every day at 11am on www.worldofdavidwalliams.com
Music with Myleene Class. Twice a week, Myleene is doing music lessons on YouTube. Next one is Friday 27th March 10am
 - Let me know if you try any of these! I will definitely be listening to David Walliams, maybe I'll choose one of his books next!

Have a lovely day!
Miss Kenwell

25.03.20 - Science (+ a science challenge!)

Date: 25th Mar 2020 @ 9:34am

Good morning everyone!

Today's focus is science, and more specifically, the life cycle of mammals. Did you know that kangaroos look after their joey it their pouch when it's only the size of a bean? Did you know that platypus' produce milk in the same way they sweat? There are lots of new facts!

I have a science challenge for you all - it doesn't matter if it is with this worksheet, or with another. I want you to show a life cycle in a creative way. I want you to think about how you could present this. A drawing, a pop up, a booklet? It's your choice! This can be about any of the life cycles we've looked at in school, or that you have in your pack.

I'm looking to give outstanding to those children who have clearly put some effort in when having a go.

Good luck!

25.03.20 - Maths

Date: 25th Mar 2020 @ 9:24am

Good morning everyone! I'm loving seeing what work you've been getting on with. Well done!

Today's maths is about time - we're great at reading a digital clock (thanks to technology) but some of us struggle reading an analogue clock, so that might be something worth practising at home grown ups smiley

I've attached the sheet that I'm discussing on the video, in case you don't have it in your pack - remember, you don't need to do the sheets in a particular order, it's up to you which challenge you want to accept.


Here are some questions on time, if you want to practice this skill.

1. What is 45 minutes after 8:20?

2. What is 30 minutes after 9:15?

3. What time is half an hour before 11:10?

4. The train leaves Hogwarts at 10:15. It arrives at Diagon Alley at 11:05. How long is the train journey?

If time is a challenge you really struggle with (it's a tricky skill to learn!) have a go at some of these interactive activities: https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/116/telling-the-time


I'm looking forward to seeing what work you get up to again smiley

Happy Wednesday!

Date: 25th Mar 2020 @ 9:20am

Hi children and parents!

Hope you're having a great time learning at home and those still in school. 

I've found lots of exciting things for you to do today: 

9am - As I keep saying, Joe Wicks PE on YouTube. This is so much fun and keeps you fit and healthy. 

10am - On Facebook (ask to go on your parents account) Oti Mabuse from Strictly Come Dancing is doing live dance lessons. She did one to the Lion King song the other day so give her a look!

11am - Storytime with David Walliams. every day at 11am on www.worldofdavidwalliams.com he releases an audio book so you can listen to him reading. He might even read The Midnight Gang!!!

Carol Vorderman's website www.themathsfactor.com is free until schools return. This is a great website for maths of all ages. 

Music with Myleene Class. Twice a week, Myleene is doing music lessons on YouTube. Next one is Friday 27th March 10am. 

 

If you're still a bit confused or worried about what is going on, watch this video and hopefully you will feel a bit better :)  https://nursedottybooks.com/dave-the-dog-is-worried-about-coronavirus-2/
