03.04.20 - Sentence and Number of the Day! Have a fabulous half-term.
Date: 2nd Apr 2020 @ 9:32pm
Good morning everyone! We have survived and made it to half term.
I know it has been difficult at times, especially in this strange atmosphere of not being in school. But I want to say well done - because you have all worked wonderfully hard. There will be one video today, and the sentence and number of the day.
Then, I want you to enjoy your half term (the next two weeks). I don't know what will happen after half-term, we are going to have to wait and see. Either way, you have got plenty of work and after half-term I will post some more videos. During your two week break, have a think about your holiday homework - I'm looking forward to seeing your Greek postcards. Also, have a go at our Reading Plus competition! I can't wait to see who the winners will be (come on 5CB!)
Below is the sentence and number of the day. Don't forget to email your work to y5homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk
Here is a reminder of our holiday homework (just in case!)

Hi everyone,
I hope you're all still working hard and staying safe. Thanks to both children and staff who've been e-mailing me pictures of their wellbeing challenges, it's really cheering me up! I've included some at the bottom of my post again.
Today's wellbeing challenge is all about yoga. Yoga is a great way to relax and escape for a while and it's good for both your bodies and minds. I like to put on some relaxing music while I do it and am lucky enough to have a lovely bright pink yoga mat too as otherwise I'd be on a hard wooden floor. A carpet, rug or blanket would work just as well though.
There's a great channel on Youtube called Cosmic Kids that does lots of different fun yoga sessions: https://www.youtube.com/user/CosmicKidsYoga (I know that Miss Bryce's class have done some of these sessions and we did some school last week too so some of you are already great at it!)
Any adults reading, or maybe older children who fancy something a bit more difficult could have a go at this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTANio_2E0Q
Here I am below doing the bound ankle pose :-)
Remember to let us know how you get on!

Good Morning everyone!
Today's maths is on fractions - a recap on how to calculate fractions of amount. Remember, we divide the whole number by the denominator (the bottom number) and then multiply the numerator (the top number). If you want to practice some more, here are some additional questions.
1. 2/5 of 20
2. 4/10 of 60
3. 3/8 of 24

Happy Wednesday everyone!
I don't know about you but 2 of my favourite things in the world that always make me feel good are animals and travelling. While I can't travel now, I thankfully have my 2 rabbits, Rupert and Angel, to keep me company at home. Here is a picture of them underneath!
So since I can't travel right now, or see any other animals, I am doing these things in a different way: by looking at this website all about wild animals around the world https://gowild.wwf.org.uk/
It has information and activities about lots of different animals from lots of different regions (Year 2, it has a section on Polar animals which would link nicely to your topic right now!) so you can virtually travel round the world. It even has drawing and photography competitions that you can enter and have your work appear on the website!
I particularly like this activity to make Amazon animal hand shadows https://gowild.wwf.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/Amazon-hand-shadows.pdf (although I didn't have much luck trying to take a good photo of mine. Perhaps you can do better than me and send one to your home learning address?)
So your wellbeing challenge for today is to choose your favourite area or animal from the website or even complete one of the activities and send a picture or just a bit of writing about it to your home learning e-mail address if you would like to. Or pehaps enter one of the competitions on there and tell us all about it.

Hello everyone!
Today's challenge is something that I often enjoy doing when I'm feeling a little sad or worried about something.
Today I am challenging you to cook or bake something! If you can't do it today then why not plan something to make later in the week or even at the weekend?
Take a look at this website that has plenty of easy and healthy recipes to look or see if you can invent something that includes the contents of your fridge or cupboard! https://www.nhs.uk/change4life/recipes
Yesterday I made these cheese scones for me and my husband to have for lunch this week (they're not very healthy but they're very tasty and it's okay to have a little treat once in a while! 
)
Make sure you ask an adult to help you with any cooking or cutting and don't do anything before you check it's okay!
Have fun,
Mrs Glover
A big thanks to Miss Kenwell for sending me a picture of her sunshine yesterday (pictured below), she put my drawing to shame!

Good Morning everyone!
Well done for all of those children who went on Reading Plus last week (Deacon, Dylan, Ellie, Maddison, Israel, Denico, Rhianna) You can all have 5 house points each from me!
This video is all about going through the answers on the poetry reading comprehension (I've attached it if you can't find it in your pack). Don't watch the video until you've attempted to work out the answers on your own! (I'm watching you, you cheats 
)

Today's challenge is to draw your own sunshine then in the middle of it write or draw all the things that make you happy.
I've done one if you would like to look at it for ideas (although your drawings may be a little better than mine! ) and have focused on all the things I can still do or see, even while we're in this strange situation 
.
Stay safe everyone,

Good Morning Year 5! And Happy Monday!

It also looks at turning improper fractions into mixed numbers - something we haven't done much of in class.
If you want to practice some more, here are some additional questions for you to work out:
Turn the following improper fractions into mixed numbers.
1. 3/2
2. 6/4
3. 12/7

Health and wellbeing challenges from Mrs Glover
Date: 27th Mar 2020 @ 2:57pm
Hello, Mrs Glover here!
I hope everyone is staying safe, having fun and working hard on your learning. I'm going to post a Health and Wellbeing Challenge every day for people to do if they choose to. I'll be doing them all too and posting pictures where I can. Please feel free to e-mail any pictures or comments to your home learning e-mail addresses!
Challenge number 1: Go on a mindfulness walk. Write or draw 5 things that you can see, hear, feel, smell or touch (make sure you have an adult with you if necessary and stay far way from people you may see when you're out, although you can still say a friendly hello!) You could even do this in your garden if you have one!
Here's a picture of my mindfulness walk that I went on at lunch time today!
I saw trees and water, I heard birds and rustling, I could smell different plants and I could feel the sun on my face :-)

Hello again everyone!
I hope you are all keeping well and enjoying all the home learning your teachers have been giving you to do. I have seen some of your emails and it looks like you are doing brilliantly so well done! I have been working away at home, I start every morning with the Joe Wicks work out, I wonder how many of you have been doing it too. Remember it’s so important to keep active even when you are at home.
I had another thought, yesterday Penny helped me with the washing, we paired the socks together! I thought this is a good time for you all to be helping out your grown-ups at home. I am sure they would really appreciate it.
I miss you all so much and can't wait to get back to school.
Take care,
Mrs Turner

Good Morning Year 5!
Today's science lesson is focused on insect life cycles.
Can you find out any extra information about the role of the female worker or the male drone honey bee?
Remember, complete metamorphosis is when the adult looks entirely different to the newborn. Incomplete metamorphosis is when the newborn looks like a 'smaller version' of the adult.
