Another instalment of amazing home learning from our Nursery children.
It's such a privilege to be able to see your continued learning when we can’t be there to teach you ourselves. These awesome children have been practicing writing numbers and we're so proud of them. Keep up the good work girls!

Morning Everone,
Hope you are all well.
Mrs Ranyard has posted a blog about Numbots which is simiar to TTROCKSTARs that the older children in school are doing. Numbots is for younger children and has games linked to counting, addition, subtraction and much more. We are thinking about how to send out login details as we have just received them.
However, if you email us at receptionhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk me or Miss Williams will give them to you. Nursery parents if you email at nurseryhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk then Mrs Ganner and Miss Heritage will email your details over to you.
Thank you

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.

Another brilliant example of how creative and active our children are.
After watching the Goldilocks ‘show me’ app our little learner, here, drew her own. Look at those beautiful big blue eyes on the drawing!
Plus some exercise in the sun. Keeping bodies and minds active is so important. Well done - you’ve made us smile.

This beautiful sunny weather has made me feel really happy, which made me think of a song we love to sing in Nursery and also the Hokey Pokey ring game we play. Why don't you join in and sing at home?

Here are the first pictures of home learning from one of our amazing pupils. Key Skills practice and a little bit of creativity to raise smiles in Clayton. Well done!

Hello again Nursery. As promised, here's a video of me drawing one the characters from our story time book yesterday, that cheeky little girl, Goldilocks.
I hope you like her curly wurly hair! I really enjoyed drawing it for you. Please send your drawings to our special email

Hello everybody!
Last week you said you'd like us to read out your favourite stories to you on the blog. Here is the first of them. We hope you enjoy it and make sure you get your whole family to join in with the actions.
Challenge: Can you and your family make up a list of words that mean the same as big, middle-sized and small? We're Speaking Superheroes in Nursery so I think you'll be able to think of lots of words.
Remember to send in photos of you reading a book with an adult or your brother or sister to our home learning email:

We thought you might like to listen to a story, that we read and learned about a long time ago in Nursery, called 'The Colour Monster'.
Can you remember it? What is your favourite colour and why do you like that colour? Can you remember what emotions we attach to those colours. We hope you have a sunny day today!

Hello everyone!
The sun is shining on the rainbow Mrs Ganner made with you on Friday. It now sits proudly in the window at her house . Some of her friends have made brilliant rainbows in their houses too. You could ring your friends or send them a text to ask them to make one so Manchester is full of rainbows!
Can you send us photos of your rainbow that we can put up on our blog so we can spread smiles across Manchester?
Send your photos to nurseryhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk and we will put some of them up on our blog.
Mrs Ganner and the team

Today has been very emotional. We know that you might be feeling like that too so we thought we'd share a few thoughts with you. Things will be different for a while but we will still be able to do lots of the things we love if you watch our blog.
The children have decided they would like you to join in with our favourite stories and practice drawing and share some of our favourite songs and videos over the coming weeks on this blog. Check back every day to see what we are putting up on the blog to help you practice at home.

We talked today about how rainbows make us feel happy when we see them. We know that sometimes people can feel sad or angry or lonely and we decided that if we felt like that we would look out of our windows to see if we could see a rainbow.
The children then painted or coloured a rainbow to take home with them and put in their window, to spread happy smiles around Clayton.
We love to sing and dance and play

This morning we started our day as usual, waking ourselves up by being active to a Go Noodle song. You can find instructions in the home learning pack to show you how to join in the active fun with a few of our favourite songs and dances. Remember the Flow Channel to help calm your mind too.
We've also enjoyed spending time together playing in our favourite places today at school.

Today we had a special visit from Stuart the gardener and some of his helpers. We asked them to help us grow a rainbow. Stuart and his helpers showed us some bulbs that we can plant and pictures of the flowers that will grow. We can't wait to help the gardeners plant the bulbs and watch our rainbow grow next week!

Today we had a very special delivery. Our class learning powers poster. When Mrs Ganner showed it to the class two of the children recognised it and they took us into the atrium to show us where they'd seen it before. We agreed that although they were the same poster, there were some things that were not the same. Our class poster was smaller and it was flexible but the one in the atrium was gigantic and hard to touch so it wouldn't move like our flexible poster.
We embrace our learning powers in Nursery because it is important to understand how we can achieve our goals. We are super learners and we are very proud of that.

Even though the chicks have left for their home on the farm, we are still learning about the place they live. We have been designing our own small world farms. We don't know what a real farm looks like yet so we have lots of books in our classroom and farm toys to help us imagine what one looks like. Would you like to visit farms like ours?

We have been enjoying learning about the Traditional Tale, Little Red Riding Hood over the last few weeks. We have dressed up, retold the story with actions and we have drawn our very own wolves for our Guided Draw books. (Look at the big one we made on World Book Day for a display) When our backs were turned the wolves got together for colour group photos! Imagine having packs of wolves roaming around the classrooms 😂

As part of Science Week we used our skills as scientists to explore the natural world outside to see if we could find a rainbow of colours outside. We found some of the colours and brought them back into class, gluing them onto our indoor class rainbow. We will keep looking for other things as they grow outside that are the colours we need. Can you see anything that we can add to our rainbow?

As part of Science Week this week, we deciding to experiment with creating colours. We love rainbows, they are so beautiful and we wondered if we could create our own rainbow. We decided to put white flowers into food colouring and water to see what would happen. Some of us thought it would kill the flowers and we gave the experiment a thumbs down 👎🏽. Others thought it would change the colour of the flowers and we thought this prediction deserved a thumb and finger choosing sign 'the colours will choose to change the white'. Some of us thought the flowers would stay the same 👍🏽
We also chose which day we thought the flowers would have changed colour and then we made a living graph by standing next to that day. Can you look at the photos and work out which day was the most popular?
UPDATE: We didn't complete a full rainbow but two colours in particular were very good at sucking up the food colouring through the stems which they dyed the petals. Look on the pictures to find out which they were.
World Book Day lasted a few days!

To finish a week of work linked to characters in our favourite books we invited our adults to come in and share a book with us. We love reading and, even more than that, we love sharing books with people. Over the past week we have shared books, dressed up as Traditional Tales characters, created a display for the shared area outside our classrooms and had a brilliant time celebrating our love of books. We can't wait until next year!

We had lots of fun watching the chicks flap and run and stretch out their wings. It's been very exciting see how quickly they grow.
Setting up a brooder for the chicks to live in
Date: 2nd Mar 2020 @ 2:03pm
It's an amazing experience meeting a chick for the first time. Some of us were a little bit nervous and some of us felt very excited. After being in the incubator for a full day, the chicks were ready to move into a new home. We talked about how to set up a place to keep the chicks warm and to give them a place to eat and drink in.
We then got to touch a chick for the first time. It was very special. Some of the juniors even came down to spend time with our lovely chicks.
