Date: 11th Jun 2020 @ 7:47am
Good morning Ravensbury!
If you’re wild enough to accept the challenge then here is what you can do today.
Channel your inner Captain Jack Sparrow or Captain Pugwash (ask your parents and grandparents who this is) to find a hoard of treasure on your latest walk on the wild side. Collect anything you find and keep it in a treasure box. Remember to wash your hands when you come home.
Bonus joke of the day:
Why are pirates called pirates?
Because they arrrrrrrrr

More ‘Wonderful Wildlife Wardens’ have been spending time in nature and discovering new and interesting things around them. Aisha sent this beautiful blue sky photo in from our blue challenge yesterday and we have some young explorers that are fascinated by their upclose encounters with minibeasts.

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

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…

Can you believe that we're half way through the week already? No one managed to guess the picture correctly yesterday - though some of you were very close. It was actually a door handle! Here is the full picture:
I've tried to make this one a little easier for you, let me know what you think it is:
If you email in your own picture, we can share it on here to see if anyone can guess it.
You've all been working super hard this week, and thank you to everyone who has emailed us so far. We love to see all of your learning: y5homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

Well done to Maddison for guessing the picture correctly yesterday - it was a dog biscuit! Here is the picture:
I've enjoyed making these, so I'm going to post a new one each day and try to make them trickier. Feel free to send in your own versions - I can't wait to see if I can work them out!

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?

We hope you had a fantastic weekend. What did you get up to? It wasn't a sunny as usual, but the rain didn't seem to last.
Miss Brookes led a family quiz, that was entirely picture based. One of the rounds involved taking 'zoomed in' photos of an object, and everyone had to guess what the object was. I've attached one below to see if you can figure it out:
Email us and let us know what you think this is a picture of (this was the easiest one, I might share a challenging one with you tomorrow!) at: Y5homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk
We can't wait to see what learning you get up to at home!

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

June 5th - #30DaysWild – Whole School Challenge 5 🐝🦋🐛🐞🤔📒
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 everyone!
It's already raining again! Maybe this will be the wettest June on record, like how May was the warmest May? I guess only time will tell!

I've noticed that some of you have been struggling when it comes to multiplying or dividing by 10/100/1000. I've attached a place value chart to help you. Remember, if you're multiplying you're going to jump to the left, and if you're dividing, you're going to jump to the right. If you can't remember how many jumps to do, look at the 0s in what you're multiplying/dividing by. For example, if you're multiplying by 10, 10 has 1 zero so you do 1 jump. If you're dividing by 1000, 1000 has 3 zeros so you do 3 jumps.
I hope this helps!

Date: 4th Jun 2020 @ 7:58am
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.
Send your photos or short videos in and I'll put them up on our school blog

Good morning !
Thank you to everyone who has sent in a photo of themselves exercising for our exercise challenge this week. Here are some of the photos ( and some photos of previous challanges too) !

Good morning Year 5!
Some rain this morning, finally! Did you know that May been the sunniest month on record with 266 hours of sunshine?! The previous record was in June 1957, with 265 hours of sun. I have enjoyed it, but am pleased for some cooler weather and rain now!
Anyway, back to our learning - Miss Brookes and I wanted to try a different way of giving you your learning each day, so you can now find everything on this Padlet link here:
https://padlet.com/y5homelearning/year5
(Make sure you scroll down each column and across the page to see all of the activities on there! Click on the picture to open the pdf/document/picture)
We hope it makes it a bit easier for you to find all your learning, as it will all be in that one place. You'll see a section for daily activities (which we'll change every day), a section for weekly tasks, your Reading Challenge, your Connected Curriculum activities, Wellbeing Challenges as well as a Quick Links section for those other useful websites you use to practise your skills. It's up to you when you do the other tasks besides the smaller daily activities - we'd recommend you do one or two of them each day.
We'll still put a blog post on here every day reminding you of the Padlet link, and continue to look out for our Friday Celebration post!
Let us know what you think about this different way of seeing your learning - we want to make it as easy as possible for you to find what you're doing each day!
Have a fantastic day Year 5!
Miss Brookes & Mrs Hodges =)

As you know this month our school is going WILD! Here’s today’s challenge. I found this challenge on the free 30 Days Wild app. You can download it on the App Store or Google Play Store.
Just because it’s raining out there it doesn’t mean you can’t go wild! Get your Peppa on and pull on some wellies to dance in the rain.
Send your photos or short videos in and I'll put them up on our school blog

Good morning Year 5!
I think today is the last day of this incredibly warm weather we've been having - I never thought I'd say this, but I'm quite looking forward to some rain as the garden really needs it! So I hope whatever you get up to today, you manage to get some fresh air in the sunshine!
In case you missed it yesterday, remember that in addition to each daily blog post, you have a weekly Reading Challenge and a selection of Connected Curriculum activities. You can find them in the blog posts from yesterday with those names as the title.
Remember to email across your learning today so we can see what you've been doing!

Just a Sentence of the Day from me today, but before I post that, remember to check out the links I posted yesterday to help you research the arguments for and against bullfighting:
“The Matador” Film Trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXiTv7QrUh4
Bullfighting Information:
CBBC has a whole section on bullfighting, where you can find out what happens in a bullfight, different people’s opinions for and against it happening and a reporter’s experience of a bullfight.
More information can be found on Kiddle:
https://kids.kiddle.co/Bullfighting
Right, onto the sentence! Remember to check back later to see my purple pen:

Good Morning Year 5 from Miss Brookes!
I hope you all had a fabulous start to your week, and thank you to everyone who has sent in their learning so far. There's quite a bit from me today - maths, GVP and science!
Maths
Here is today's fluent in 5:
Here are the answers, how did you do?
GVP
Here is today's GVP:
Here are the answers:
Science
As we have finished our Space unit, this half-terms science would usually go back to the autumn term, and continue with states of matter. As that is mostly experiments, we have changed things around slightly so that you can do an experiment at home with your grown ups and siblings instead (they may not be states of matter related!) Make sure you send your results in and take photos if you can.
Today's challenge is "does larger feet mean you can jump further?' I've attached a PDF to help you. You need to decide what each of the variables are (what you're going to change and what you will keep the same), there is a method page for you as well as a table of results.
Let us know what you find out on y5homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

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!

Good morning everyone!
So many of you have participated in our Reading Challenges over the past few weeks - so well done!
To wake up our brains this week, I want you to read a book a day (5 books) on Reading Plus. I will give you until Friday afternoon, when I will post the winners.
If you have forgotten your log in details, don't worry - just send me an email and I will let you know what they are.

Connected Curriculum Challenge!
Date: 1st Jun 2020 @ 8:42am
I am so excited for you to get started with these brilliant Connected Curriculum activities, which are all to do with our new topic of Spain, specifically looking at the question:
Why is Spain such a popular tourist destination?
Spain is a beautiful country with a fascinating history and culture. It's geography (for example the climate and landscape) all helps it be an incredibly popular destination too.
There are eight different activites for you to choose from in the attached document - ranging from cooking to dancing, art to geography...and more! A couple of the activities need additional resources, and I have attached those to this blog too. Other activities have a YouTube link that will help you, so make sure to check that out too.
Choose whichever activities you like, and however many you like - some might take several hours, others will be much quicker.
Remember to show us your learning by emailing us at Y5homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk
Have fun!!
