Good Morning Primary 6!!
I hope that you are all quite recovered after yesterday’s sports day exertions.
It’s Wednesday,
This week we are working on some word problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Calculate the answers to these questions in your jotter.
a) Hayden plays 6 Xbox games. He scores 3.2 points in each game. How many points does he score altogether?
b) Olivia runs 5.4 miles every day. If she runs for 8 days, how far does she run?
c) Riley does a sponsored silence. For every hour, he must be silent he raises £8.50. How much will he raise if he stays silent for 9 hours?
d) Miss Huntley walks 3.6 miles to school. How many miles does she walk over 5 days?
e) Miss Huntley decides to walk home as well, so she walks 7.2 miles a day. How many miles does she walk over 15 days?
f) Caitlyn draws a square. Each side is 15.8cm. What is the perimeter of the square?
g) Brandon’s car drives 6.3 miles on one litre of petrol. How many miles will he cover on 4 litres of petrol?
h) Reece’s hair grows 0.8 cm per month. How many cm will his hair grow in 9 months?
i) Alexander measures rainfall over 7 months. The rain fall is 0.6 cm each month. How much rain has fallen over the 7 months?
j) Elvin buys a new pair of shoes with four shoe laces. Each shoe lace is 32.3cm long. How long are all four shoe laces put together?
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:

This week for spelling it’s time for a roundup.
Here are some of the spelling words and patterns that we have looked at over the last few weeks. Copy them into your jotter and begin to practise them ahead of a spelling test on Friday.
jacket, packet, racket, live, carve, blue, due, process, resources, soldier, sparrow, yellow, elbow, necessary, separate, chocolate, lightning
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 tomorrow.
R.E.
When Jesus needed to feel very close to his Father, what did he do? – He would pray. Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, before he was betrayed by Judas. He prayed before he raised Lazarus from the dead and Jesus prayed during the Last Supper, before he broke the bread. Like us Jesus needed to share his worries and problems with his heavenly Father; he knew that he was never alone. Just as we are never alone. God is always with us.
When we pray we are having a conversation with God. When we talk to God, he listens. We don’t have to have special times for saying prayers. Often we say them at bedtime but we can talk to God at any time. Do you ever feel unsure about what to say to God? Don’t worry as God our Father likes to hear about everything we have to tell him and he is always ready to listen.
The apostles knew how important it was to pray to God but like us they often felt uncertain about how to pray. One day they asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. What was the prayer that Jesus taught them? – The Our Father.
Watch this short video about how Jesus taught his disciples the Our Father:
Let’s say the Our Father now. I have copied the words to help you if you need it.
I would like you to download the picture below if you can and colour it in. If you can’t download it why not draw a picture like this one.
Please send us a copy of your picture at gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk or Tweet us @St_BarbarasPS.
