Today I would like you to try these calculations involving money. Remember money is just a decimal number so there is no special or different thing that you need to do. You just calculate the answers like you would any other decimal calculation.

e) £28.37+£9.28 f) £35.94+£42.70 g) £8.48-£5.27 h) £7.74-£4.13
i) £5.72-£5.68 j) £74.56-£40.26 k) £74.80-£7.29 l) £24.50-£3.87
m) Blythe bought a swimming costume for £25.50 and a swimming cap for £8.25. How much did she spend altogether?
n) Jane bought a skateboard for £67.99 and sold it the following year for £40.50. How much money did she lose in the deal?
o) In a diving competition the UK judge awarded 2.7 points less than the French judge. The french judge gave 9.3 points. How much did the UK judge award?
This is not how we would write out sums to find the answer so don’t write them this way in your jotter. Use place value, carrying and decomposition (borrowing) to find your answers.
I’ll post the answers to these tomorrow or you can send me your answers at:

Your spelling words for this week are:
process, resources, soldier, technique, weight, proposition, Saturday, stationary, texture, women
Today I would like you to start using this week’s spelling words to play IRL Bingo.
Write all of your spelling words out on a scrap of paper.
Each time you use one today in conversation tick it off.
When you have used all of the words yell, “Bingo!”
Did I mention that you also had to spell the words in conversation?
Example
“Dad, making the dinner must be a difficult process. P-R-O-C-E-S-S”
If you really want to play Hardcore IRL Bingo don’t tell anyone what you are doing or why you are doing it.
After 19 chapters we are now finished, “How to Train your Dragon.”
Here are the answers to yesterday’s comprehension exercises.
I’ve assigned you some reading in Scholastic Books.
Here are three new comprehension exercises for today. You can choose to do as many of them as you wish. I’ll post the answers tomorrow.
May is the month of Mary.
Today let us sing with Canon Sydney MacEwan
Bring Flowers of the Rarest Hymn
Bring flowers of the rarest
bring blossoms the fairest,
from garden and woodland and hillside and dale;
our full hearts are swelling,
our glad voices telling
the praise of the loveliest flower of the vale!
Refrain
Refrain:
O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today!
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May.
O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May.
Their lady they name thee,
Their mistress proclaim thee,
Ah, grant that thy children on earth be as true
as long as the bowers
are radiant with flowers,
as long as the azure shall keep its bright hue
Refrain
Time for a Wednesday workout.
