Good Morning, Footloose Fives!
I hope that you are all well and ready to go!
Let’s begin as we always do with our morning prayer:
God our Father, as we prepare to begin our work today,
We ask you to help us to use properly the many gifts you have given us
So that we may properly benefit from our day together. Amen.

If you’re feeling very energetic you might extend this to include the months of the year.

I’m looking forward to reading them!
Collective Nouns
Please complete the following with nouns you have not used before.
Just for fun!
Try creating some collective nouns of your own. Select some plural nouns and see what you can suggest. See some examples of plural nouns below:
Examples
- A __________________ of pencils
- A __________________ of Janitors
- A __________________ of X-boxes
- A __________________ of scooters
- A __________________ of schoolbags
You can use these or choose some of your own. Have some fun – then email them to me!
Numeracy
Yesterday we looked at a word problem Chilli Challenge. Please find the answers below:
Times tables can be tricky. It isn’t always easy to ask an adult if you are unsure as so many of them are working form home themselves also.
I have a task which will help you to learn your tables and to become more independent should you need help. Select a table (or more than one) that you find tricky. For those of you who are confident in tables to 10x, select the 11x or 12x table.
Look at the picture below and create your own table-checker! Genius!
Thursday Word Problems
There are two challenges for you to try today…you might even like to try both!
Good Luck!
Answers will be posted at 3pm today.
R.E.
May Altar
Please say a decade of the Rosary at your May altar. Think especially about the children in Primary 4 who should have been celebrating their First Holy Communion on Sunday. If you have written a little prayer for them, say it too.
Grid Tasks
Please select one or two tasks from your grid.
Finally…
Just for fun…. Celebrate NHS and Keyworker Thursday… dance like no one is watching…and then clap tonight – 8pm!
That’s all for today, Primary 5. Mrs Goodwin will be with you tomorrow and I’ll be back with you on Monday.
Remember, you can email your work to me:

Have a great weekend when it comes!
