10th June #30DaysWild - Challenge 10 🦋💧
Date: 10th Jun 2020 @ 9:16am
Hello Wild Things!
Today is all about being blue. NOT feeling blue (that means feeling sad) but looking for blue in the wild. Can you take photos or draw all of the blue things you see outdoors today?
Enjoy your wonders of the wild outdoors today
From Mrs Ganner
Send photos into my home learning email please:

Photos of past challenges:
Our latest ‘Wonderful Wildlife Wardens’ have sent in photos of themselves throwing their litter away, bird spotting and using their art skills to create very realistic representations of wildlife. I’m really impressed with what they are discovering in their wild outdoors. Thank you for joining in.
By the way – so far The Foundation Stage are wildest of our school (FIST PUMPS AIR!) They’re wilder than KS2 who are wilder than KS1.
Challenge on for those of you who haven’t sent in photos yet…

9th June 30 Days Wild - Challenge 9
Good morning,
Today sees a challenge that we should do every day. Litter is a big problem for wildlife. It can hurt them and so I’d like to see if you can pick up litter to make your area tidy and safe for the animals that live close to us.
- DO NOT pick up anything that could hurt you.
- ALWAYS do this activity with an adult.
- WEAR protective gloves if you have any.
- USE a litter picker if you can.
Send me your litter picking photos in to:
nurseryhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk
Have a great day
From Mrs Ganner
Daily Update:
We’ve had some amazing photos in from children in the Foundation Stage. Look at how happy they are looking after the wildlife they have found. They are being really careful too. Read what they say about their learning:
‘We have been out in the parks and garden looking for wild life. We saw some ducks with babies and a spider in the garden. We also have 3 snails which we look after and feed them every day.’
‘This is my friend the worm. I have been watering it and feeding it. Worms don't have any legs because they wiggle.’
You really are ‘Wonderful Wildlife Wardens’

Date: 8th Jun 2020 @ 9:12am
Good morning Ravensbury,
I hope your weekend was wild and wonderful. If you have an photos of you and your family finding wildlife in your garden, on the vale or at the park send your photos in so we can share them on our blog.
It’s the start of our second week going wild at school and we have one of my favourite activities
I love to sit in my garden recording the birds talking to each other first thing in the morning. They have so much to say to each other!
Can you hear the magpie chattering away loudly?

Have a great day

30 Days Wild - Weekend Challenges 🐞🐛🐝🕷
Date: 5th Jun 2020 @ 3:16pm
Well done to Honour and Jola for finding this fabulous centipede! It’s safely back outside now. Well done for ‘Going Wild’!
If any of you want a wild weekend then here are two more challenges:
Challenge 1: How do I know it’s a centipede and not a millipede? CLUE: The answer is NOT to do with the number of legs it has.
Challenge 2: Bugs shouldn’t be living in your house so why not make them a hotel in your garden? Stack wood and tubes and crates to make a bug hotel this weekend. Then watch them set up home in all the nooks and crannies. Bugtastic!
Send your answers to my home learning address:
nurseryhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk
Have a brilliant weekend! Keep those eyes peeled for lots of bugs

Date: 5th Jun 2020 @ 8:02am
Good Morning Ravensbury,
It’s the end of our first wild week. I’ve spoken to a few of your grownups about what they have seen and done this week. Did anybody find a minibeast in their house yesterday? Send in photos of your minibeast encounters so we can put them on the blog. Here’s today’s challenge:
Whatever WILD THINGS you see today write down a list and send a photo of what is in your local park or back yard or garden. Let’s work out what kinds of wildlife are living in and around Clayton.
Send your photos or short videos in and I'll put them up on our school blog

Good Morning Ravensbury,
I hope you managed to get out in the WILD yesterday! Send in your splashing photos so we can share the fun. Here’s today’s challenge:
When it gets cold and wet outside, sometimes the wild likes to come inside! If you find a minibeast friend, help them find their way home by carefully scooping them up and putting them outside.

Hello and welcome back to the start of our final half term of this school year!
As you know, Mrs Glover has been setting us wellbeing challenges to keep us feeling positive and productive over the last few months. It has been fantastic to look back at all the photos you have sent her showing your creative work!
For the next few weeks, Mrs Glover is lucky enough to be going into school each day to teach as we start opening up the school to certain year groups, so I'll be setting your wellbeing challenge.
So, here's your challenge for this week:
Can you set yourself an exercise goal for the week and try and do a different exercise each day? It could be going for a walk with your family, making up a dance , going on a bike ride, jumping on your trampoline, doing an online workout like Joe Wicks or doing 30 star jumps in your kitchen!
Use the chart below to record your exercise each day ( or just write it on a piece of paper if you do not have a printer) and send it in to:Ealhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk . If you would like to share a photo during the week ,send it in too and I can post it on the blog for others to be inspired to try your idea !
I can't wait to see who can be an exercise superstar!

Hello and happy half term!
I'm not going to be posting a daily challenge for you over half term but here is something you can do if you like. It's a funny time right now and it's one we may want to look back on in the future to remind oursleves what we did, how we felt and how lucky we are when it's all over. So I've attached a time capsule template for you use so that you can record some of these things, either by writing or drawing it's up to you.
You can either print it out, do it on a computer or just draw our each page for yourself. Do as much or as little as you chooe and feel free to share anything you do on EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk
Stay safe,
Mrs Glover

Good morning and happy Friday!
Can you believe we’re coming to the end of another half term? It’s the half term holiday for everyone next week! I’m going to post a challenge for the half term week at the weekend and then I should be back with more challenges from the 1st of June.
Today I’m giving you a fun challenge that has been sent to me by Mrs Ganner which I think is a good way to end Mental Health Week.
We’ve talked a lot in school about resilience and the Power of Yet but I bet you didn’t know that there is actually a Power of Yet dance! So today's challenge is to have a go at the Power of Yet dance. Here are 3 links depending on what your age is, have a go and you can send either photos or videos in of you having a go to EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchster.sch.uk. There are also some writing tasks that you can download and do on each page if you choose to do so.
5 to 7 https://imoves.com/home-learning/1535
7 to 9 https://imoves.com/home-learning/1536
9 to 11 https://imoves.com/home-learning/1537
Have a lovely half term and stay safe.

Past Challenges
As always, thank you so much to everyone who has sent me pictures of your wellbeing challenges. I've been sent a few more fantastic origami hearts and a couple of amazing poems. Here they are!
Date: 21st May 2020 @ 10:14am
Good morning, I hope you all found some way to enjoy the sunshine yesterday. I sent a lot of time in my garden and I have to admit even though I applied plenty of sun cream, I’m still a little pink! I hope you were all more careful than me.
We’re almost at the end of the week and today is the last kindness based challenge as I have something a little different for tomorrow.
I hope that you have been experiencing some acts of kindness this week as today my challenge is to write a kindness acrostic poem. This is where you use each letter of the word you choose to start a sentence or word.
I’ve attached a file that has a few different kindness words to use for your poem so you can choose one or choose more than one you like! As always if you can’t print then don’t worry, you can write it out on a piece of paper or even type it on a computer like I have.
I have chosen the word caring. Here is my poem.
Cooking for other people
Asking people how they are
Returning peoples phone calls and messages
Interest in what friends and family are up to
Niceness goes a long way!
Going the extra mile for those you love
As always please e-mail your poems to EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk
Mrs Glover
Past challenges
I'm very impressed with all the origami hearts you've all been making, some of you even made both hearts like I did! Here they are along with some other past challenges.
