Connected Curriculum challenge - How does your garden grow?

Date: 2nd Jun 2020 @ 10:41am

How does your garden grow?

Last term our Connected Curriculum challenges were all about plants and how they grow.

You learned all about how to take care of plants and the things that they need to grow and survive. Some of you also made mini beast hotels and used natural things from your garden to help the mini beasts have a home during this warm weather. You have been able to observe the seasons changing from winter to spring to summer and watch all of the trees and flowers and plants growing and changing with the spring weather.

Now it’s your chance to show off what you know and the things that you have learned. It’s up to you how you show us, here are some ideas…

. You could make a poster or an information booklet

. You could make a model garden

. You could plant something outside and do a report on its growth

. You could make a model of a tree showing the seasons changing

. You could draw different trees and flowers and label them

It’s up to you what you do, be creative and have fun! Don’t forget to send pictures in of your creations to y1homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

Today's maths Challenge-Comparing volume and Capacity

We thought it would be a really good idea to take advantage of the last of the sunshine for this week and take the maths learning outside. Today we are going to use water and containers to learn about capacity. 

When we are learning about capacity-how much liquid is in a container, we use words like full, half full, nearly full, nearly empty and  empty to describe how much liquid we can see in a container

Follow this link to find out about the learning for today!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zmytpg8

Challenge 1

Find some containers in the house e.g. pans, cups, dishes and tubs. Fill them up in the paddling pool or in a bowl of water.

Draw the container you have used and how much water it contains. Write the words empty, full, half empty, half full, nearly full and nearly empty to describe how full or empty the container is.

Challenge 2

Ask an adult to write the words empty, full, half empty, half full, nearly full and nearly empty on a piece of paper. Ask them to hold up the words, randomnly . Read the word and fill up the container to match the word.

Challenge 3

Which container holds the least and most water in your house? Draw a picture of each container and how much liquid it held.

Thanks

Good Morning everybody, it was lovely seeing all of your learning yesterday!

Sentence of the day

Today’s sentence of the day focusses on our phase 5 phonics. Use the sound mat below to make the correction where I have used the incorrect grapheme.

One bright mondai afternoon three little snayks slithered and slid through the thick green leeves whilst the boiling sun was shayning down.

Have you managed to correct all of my mistakes? Open the answers box to find out!

Phonics

Before you find out todays phonics, let’s recap yesterday’s tricky words. See how many words you can remember from yesterday by playing a quick game of look, say, cover, write.

For our phonics for the next few days we are going to recap our phase 5 sounds. Look at your phase 5 sound mat and go through the different sounds. If you need a little help remembering the sounds then watch the video below and listen carefully to the sounds.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPW-ZkhRUPY

Challenge one – Word sort. Today we are just going to practice words with ay sounds in them – so with an ay, a-e, ai.

Here are some words below. Some are in the ay family and some are not. Can you sort the words so that you have a collection of words that have the ay,a-e or ai grapheme and collection of words that do not.

Challenge two – Scavenger hunt. Here is a list of things that I would like you to find. Have a look around your house or maybe keep an eye out if you go on a walk. Which things can you find?

Challenge three – Did you see anything with the ai sound in that wasn’t on my list when you were on your scavenger hunt? Use your phonics to write them down

Just a reminder - This month our school is going WILD! Here’s today’s challenge

CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE WILDLIFE TRUST WEBSITE

I found this challenge on the free 30 Days Wild app.

Reading activity

Date: 1st Jun 2020 @ 11:12am

This weeks reading activity is to read and listen to one of the songs below. We want you to think about what the words in the song really mean. Look at the lyrics and read or sing them again. 

How is the character feeling in the song?

Are they angry, frustrated, excited?

We want you to to think about why the character is feeling this way.

 You might also find it useful to listen to the music, does that give you any clues about what the character is thinking and feeling. 

Choose one of the songs below and have a listen, you might want to listen to one every day but don't forget to try and read the words to the song as well - these are called lyrics. Don't worry about thinking about all of the words in the song. You can stop the song and talk about it in small parts rather than the whole song.

Wellbeing challenge 1.6.20

Date: 1st Jun 2020 @ 10:51am

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!

Monday sentence of the day and phonics

Date: 1st Jun 2020 @ 10:31am

Good Morning everybody and welcome back! We hope you all had a lovely week off home learning and took some time to enjoy being outdoors in the sunshine. It has been a lovely week for us, full of walks and reading books in the sunshine but now we are definitely ready to carry on our home learning and see what the next few weeks bring!

Sentence of the day

Today’s sentence of the day focusses on our tricky words. I have put a poster below so that you can check the green for growths and make sure all of the tricky words are spelt correctly.

“Oa what a beautiful day, the sun is shining and the birds are chirping” sed Misurs Potts.

In the park the noisy peepul were chatting and they lucked like they were enjoying thair scrumptious picnics from home.

Click on the folder to find the answers from today’s sentence of the day!

Sentence of the day answers

Phonics

Todays phonics focusses on the phase 5 tricky words, just like our sentence of the day! Let’s get your brains warmed up and ready for some challenges. Have a look at the words below and play a game of fastest finger with your grown-ups. Ask them to say a word and you need to point to it as quick as you can. Don’t worry if it’s a bit tricky at first, with practice you’ll make progress and get faster and more confident!

Challenge one – Rainbow writing! If you have a dice in your house, nows the time to get it. I not don’t worry, you can write the numbers 1-6 onto pieces of paper and close your eyes and pick a number instead of rolling a dice.

Challenge two – This is the quick write challenge! Now that you have practiced reading and writing the words your challenge is to see if you can spell them correctly without any clues. Watch the video below and when the video says a word it’s your job to write it down as quickly as you can. You can check if you have spelt them properly at the end by going back through the video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbcZnb2iz1c

Challenge three – For challenge three I want you to make me some sentences using the phase 5 tricky words, just like the sentences I made for our sentence of the day. You can make them silly, funny, serious or if you’re really up for a challenge you could see if you can make a story using the different words.

Good Luck! We are excited to see your home learning again!

Miss Riley and Miss Wolfenden.
