Good morning,
Yet another lovely sunny day! I'm looking forward to getting out in the sun later although I actually got a little bit sunburnt yesterday! Remeber that suncream!
Today's challenge is a creative one, I'd like you to try a bit of origami. Origami is the art of folding paper and while it can be a bit tricky, it's also quite a nice relaxing activity once you know what you're doing and you end up with something that looks amazing. You could even make a few things and use them to decorate your house!
What you need for all origami is a square of paper, either plain or patterned. If youre not sure how to turn a piece of paper into a square then have a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPxi1dIWRws
Then you could take some time to decorate your paper if you like before you fold it.
Then this is a fairly simple one to get started, a butterfly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWjEYlMZnhE
Just follow each instruction carefully and the good thing about watching a video is that you can rewind it as much as you like! If you're not a fan of butterflies then feel free to have a look for something else on the Red Ted Art channel.
Here's my butterfly that I've just made. It's not perfect but it's the first time I've ever done it so I was quite impressed with myself!
As always I'd love to see pictures of what you've made or of any past challenges, e-mail EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk to send them or even just to let me know what kind of challenges you prefer so I can make sure I'm doing ones that people like :-)

Thanks to all the children who have sent me pictures, you've all been very busy which is great to see!

Good morning,
Another sunny day! 
First all of all I want to thank everyone who has sent in pictures of them doing my wellbeing challenges, it's fantastic to see and hear about how you're enjoying doing them! Have a look at the Past Challenges bit at the bottom to see some photos.
Today's challenge is another one to get you moving and do a mini workout. Sometimes it can seem a bit scary or time consuming to do a whole workout so these mini workouts are perfect if you want a quick break from doing school work or even from just watching TV if you fancy a stretch! All of these little energisers from Go Noodle are between 2 - 4 minutes long so perfect for something to wake you up in the morning or as a break from whatever you are doing.
Here are a few that I like:

Or just go to YouTube and type in Fresh Start Fitness to see a variety of mini workouts.
Remember to email EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk with any photos of you doing any of the challenges.
Have a lovely day!

Good morning everyone,
I don't know about you but I can't wait to get out in that sun so today's challenge is one that can be done outside if you like.
Today we are focusing on having a growth mindset and doing this through yoga. Having a growth mindset means you have a positive attitude to your learning and know that just because you may find something difficult and you can't do it yet, you will get there as long as you don't give up!
Here are 5 different growth mindset yoga poses to try. Please feel free to try as many or as few positions as you like and send any pictures to EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

Thank you so much to the pupils who have sent in pictures of their shields of strength from yesterday, it really makes my day to see what you've ben doing!
Date: 4th May 2020 @ 11:24am
Good morning everyone,
I hope you all had a good weekend and are ready to work hard on your learning (and your wellbeing!) this week.
Today's challenge has actually come from a website that Mrs Hughes sent to me to look at so thank you Mrs Hughes!
Today I would like you to think about resilience which means keeping strong and bouncing back even in a difficult situation. I'd like you to design a Shield of Strength.
Think about what your strengths are, especially the ones that can help you at the moment while we're not in school, and write or draw (or both!) onto a shield. Here is my shield that you may want to use for help: 
I have attached a template of the shield in case you want to use it but otherwise you can just fraw a shield on a plain piece of paper.
As always I would love to see your challenges so please send them to EALhomelearning@ravensbury.sch.uk

Hi everyone and Happy Friday! I can't believe it's already the end of another week. I hope everyone is working hard and staying safe.
I got the idea for today's wellbeing challenge yesterday when I saw the most amazing rainbow in the sky. It was the brightest colours I've ever seen and I could see the whole arc. There was even a faint second rainbow next to it!
Photos don't really show how amazing it was but you can see how vivid the colours are:
The rainbow made me feel happy when I saw it and I thought it might make other people happy too! So today's challenge is to take a photo of something that makes you feel happy. You could find something in your house or do it on a walk. It could be a person, an animal, an object or even something that you've made. Anything that makes you feel happy or positive. If you don't have a camera, phone or tablet of your own then ask an adult if you can borrow theirs but please be careful with it!
If you'd like to share your happy photo then please e-mail it to EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk, I'd love to see it and then I can post some of them and spread the happiness around!
Have a good weekend,
Mrs Glover

Good morning everyone,
I hope everyone enjoyed some relaxing colouring yesterday, here is a picture of mine. It isn't quite finished yet but I had a nice relaxing hour doing it last night:
.jpg/colouring(1)__427x320.jpg)
Today's challenge is to do a mindfulness breathing activity. Mindfulness can help you relax and be in the moment, appreciating everything that's around you.
Just one breath
Find a relaxing place where you won't be disturbed. Sit in a comfortable position, either with your legs crossed or any comfortable posture. This activity can be done in as little as one minute, but you can also do it for longer periods of time.
Begin by setting a timer for one minute.
Start breathing deeply in and out. Notice how the breath feels as it moves in and out of your body. Notice how the air feels on your skin. Pay attention to any sensations that you notice or any sounds that you hear.
Take another slow deep breath and see if you can imagine how the breath moves down into the lungs and then back up again. Thank your body and breath for giving you life and keeping you healthy.
Take one more deep breath and hold the breath for a moment - then release it.
If any thoughts worry you, try and imagine your thoughts immersed in a white, puffy cloud and push the thought cloud out of your awareness.
Afterward, notice how you feel after taking this one-minute break.
If you want to tell me about your experience or send any photos of yourself doing the activity then e-mail me on EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk.
There are more simple instructions below.

Hope you're all having a lovely time learning at home with your adults.
Let's start with the answers for yesterday.
Sentence of the Day answers:
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.
They all need a capital letter because they are proper nouns – they are the name of a person, thing or place and therefore need a capital letter.

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:
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

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!

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

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!
Please feel free to tell me about any of the wellbeing challenges you have done, I'd love to see what you're all doing in your free time! You can now e-mail me on Ealhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk to let me know (or to contact me or Mrs Harriott about any EAL home learning too)

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!
https://twitter.com/ravensburycomm1/status/1254470310063222785?s=21 - Video of staff.
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.
|
What I know already |
What I would like to know |
What I know now |
|
|
|
|
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 :)

Happy Monday everyone!
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend and made the most of the lovely warm weather (I think it might be the last hot sun for a while although it seems nice so far this morning!)
Today's challenge is to do something that I have just discovered myself although my husband has been nagging me to do it for a while - Listen to a podcast.
A podcast is a bit like a radio show that you can download to your tablet, phone or laptop and listen to either while you relax or while you go for a walk. Some include music, some are educational, some entertain you and some are just good for helping you relax. You can listen to them with others or by yourself if you need a bit of me time.
This weekend I have been listening to one called Sounds of the 90s by Fearne Cotton that includes lot of music from the 90s as well as intervews with 90s pop stars. I've been listening to it while I go on my hour long walks every day and I think some of the teachers may also enjoy it!
Here are some podcasts I've found that I think you might all like, the links are under each description:
But Why: A pocast for curious kids

Good morning Year 3,
Hopefully the sun comes out soon! We don't like this weather :(
On the other hand, we are SO impressed with all of the work that you have been sending to our email. It has made us so happy to see what you have been up to, please continue to do so! y3homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk
Let's get to it!
Sentence of the day
suddenly, rain started pourin_ down so fast? The sun had been owt all day and then the rain came. That ment one thing… a rainbow! It was butiful and so colerful. There were so many different colours, I couldent believe my eyes!
Errors in green:
- Pouring needs a ‘g’ on the end of ing
-Out is spelt incorrectly
-Different needs another e – diff – er - ent
-Couldn’t is spelt incorrectly. (Could+not) It uses an apostrophe for omission as it omits the ‘o’ vowel from the word not and replaces with an apostrophe.
5 unmarked errors.
Send your completed sentences of the day to the email above. We will post the corrected sentence tomorrow morning.
Fluent in 5 – Focus on unit fractions
1/3 of 12 1/8 of 32
1/4 of 44 1/10 of 90
Remember, to find a unit fraction you do the whole number divided by the denominator (bottom half of the fraction). E.g. 1/5 of 20 20 (whole number) ÷ 5 (denominator) = 4
Connected Curriculum
Our topic this term is ‘Can I grow lettuce on a mountain summit?’ where we look into rivers, mountains and plants.
Today you are going to be doing a KWL grid on mountains like we do in school before the start of any topic. Get a piece of paper: Draw a table like this.

What I know already |
What I would like to know |
What I know now |

|
|

Fill out the what you already know section and the what you would like to know about mountains.
Once you have done all of that, watch this BBC bitesize video about mountains,
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z849q6f/articles/z4g3qp3
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/mountains there are lots of pictures and facts on mountains that might help you with the next job.
Your job is to now write three facts about mountains in your ‘what I know now’ column. Send us your results of the quiz and your 3 facts to y3homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk
A little challenge for you!!! How many places can you read a book. We saw Year 1 doing this fantastic challenge and would love to see how many pictures you can take of you reading in different areas of your house! Make sure it's a book you love because we will be asking for a little review soon! Good luck!
Here's Miss Humphreys on the sofa researching what to cook for tea!
