Good Morning Primary 6,
Yesterday I asked you to divide some ‘ow’ words from our spelling list into two columns.
You should have ended up with something like this:
|
Words with ‘ow’ Sounding like ‘cow’ |
Words with ‘ow’ Sounding like ‘window’ |
| clown
growl prowl scowl clown brown crown down frown |
slow known show growth slow blown throw shown thrown |
Today I would like you to sort our spelling words out into a table showing the number of syllables that they have.
Remember a syllable is a part of a word that can be sounded by itself. Each syllable has a vowel sound. For example:
pillow = pil-low
arrow = ar-row
Notice that the double letters are split between the syllables.
| One syllable | Two syllables |
Three syllables |
| grow | Follow = fol-low |
Following = fol-low-ing |
rainbow, window, swallow, tomorrow, barrow, own, mower, borrowing, hollow, sparrow, elbow, burrow, shadow, shallow
Here’s Cressida Cowell reading chapter 16 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”
Hiccup’s fiendishly clever plan has gone wrong. The Green Death is dying but it’s not dead yet. Hiccup declares that this is truly the worst moment of his life as he falls into the dragon’s open mouth. Thinking back over all that we have heard so far about Hiccup try to make a list of all of the worst moments in Hiccup’s life that have lead him to this point. Is this really the worst moment? Were the other times that Hiccup declared, “This is the worst moment of my life.” really all that bad? Would you describe Hiccup as an optimist or a pessimist?
Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths statements.
a) 6.7 lies between 6 and 7. It is closer to 7
b) 4.3 lies between 4 and 5 . It is closer to 4
c) 7.5 lies between 7 and 8 . It is closer to 8
d) 1.58 lies between 1 and 2 . It is closer to 2
e) 5.34 lies between 5 and 6 . It is closer to 5
f) 0.83 lies between 0 and 1 . It is closer to 1
g) 10.8 lies between 10 and 11 . It is closer to 11
h) 23.25 lies between 23 and 24 . It is closer to 23
i) 58.81 lies between 58 and 59 . It is closer to 59
Saying that 58.81 is closer to 59 is ROUNDING 58.81 to 59. Today I want you to round these decimals to the nearest whole number. You don’t need to write the numbers that they are between today, just the answer will do.
1a) 7.4 b) 8.6 c)9.8 d) 2.1
e) 3.47 f) 6.85 g)15.29 h) 20.63
i) 25.27 j) 33.99 k) 42.14 l) 68.50
2a) 4.10 b) 5.90 c) 3.40 d) 8.70
e) 12.80 f) 14.50 g) 17.39 h) 18.72
i) 0.34 j) 0.51 k) 0.50 l) 101.49
Now why don’t we have a Wednesday Workout.
Today is the memorial day of St. Catherine of Siena a woman who lead an extraordinary life. Watch this short film about her and then record in your jotter why she was so special.
