Good morning Primary 6,
Yay, It’s Friday!!
Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths questions.
a) £7.38
b) £3.89 and £7.45
c) £4.38
d) £4.79
e) £15.60
This week we have been working on some problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Calculate the answers to these questions in your jotter.
a) Frank’s Fruit Store are running a special deal on melons…..
£5.76 for 6 melons or £7.52 for 8 melons
by working out the cost in each deal for one melon find out which deal is better.
b) Norah goes out with £20. She buys 2 engineering magazines for £4.24 each. How much change will she get?
c) With the money she gets in change how many melons can she buy from Frank?
d) The total cost for 9 people to go bowling was £70.65. By working out the cost for one person, how much would it cost for 4 people to go bowling?
e) Barry has been taking online yoga classes. The classes last 30 minutes and he pays £0.35 per minute. Is it better for Barry to pay by the minute or pay £30 for three classes?
Remember, decimals make no difference to how you add, subtract, multiply or divide you only have to remember to keep the decimal points above one another, in a straight line.
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:

Sumdog are running a special competition for North Lanarkshire schools starting today. Get in!!
This week for spelling we’re looking at a spelling rule. The rule is, “Silent E for V and U”
To avoid words ending in a ‘v’ or a ‘u’ a silent ‘e’ is often added.
Here are a list of words which follow this rule.
give, love, have, live, carve, blue, due. true, glue, clue, twelve, forgive
Today is test day. Give your list of spelling words to someone in your family and get them to test you.
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 on Monday.

May is the month of Mary.
You can follow Holy Mass which is being streamed through Facebook (supervised by an adult) by Father Campbell at 10am.
For Health and Wellbeing today I would like you to look at the Values Report that you created yesterday. For the areas where you responded, “I need to practise more” create a Practice Plan which shows ways that you can begin to show these values more often in your daily life.
Remember you can still choose another task from your updated learning grid and there are other tasks on Sumdog, StudyLadder, FirstNews and Scholastic Books.
You can email me any of your work at:
