Good Morning Primary 6!!
It’s Friday! The end of another week. Did you lose any Golden time this week?
I didn’t and so I will be playing Connect 4 with Magnus this afternoon until it looks like I’m about to win and he knocks the game over “accidentally.”
Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths questions.
a) 671 seats
b) £375.09
c) £117,600
c) £7.92
d) 68.4
e) 522 stickers
f) £2.26
g) 7 bags
h) 6,205 biscuits (he will also be exceptionally unhealthy)
i) 900 ml or 0.9 l
Today’s maths questions should seem familiar. They are almost the same as yesterday’s but they have been made harder by adding a little twist to each calculation. See how you get on.
a) A theatre sells 467 tickets for a matinee performance. A school group then books a further 118 tickets. If the theatre holds 1060 people, how many places are left unsold?
b) The school buys 820 new books, which are put onto new bookshelves. If there are 34 books on each shelf, how many shelves must Mr Baldwin put up?
c) A car salesroom has a sales target of £150,000. They sell 12 cars for £9,800 each. How many more cars do they need to sell to meet their target?
d) Jade’s mum buys a pack of 8 kiwi fruit for £1.92. Individual kiwi fruit cost 30p each. How much cheaper is each kiwi fruit by buying in a pack?
e) What is the difference between the product of 19 and 3.6, and the sum of 2.87 and 3.5?
f) Mr Daw gives each child in his class 18 stickers during January. If there are 29 children in Mr Daw’s class, and Mr Daw had a pack of 1000 stickers to start with, how many stickers has Mr Daw left at the end of January?
g) Katie buys two magazines for £1.29 each and spends £8.95 on a CD. If she had £12.50 to start with, how much does she have left?
h) Pencils cost 72p for a pack of 12. In one year, the school has to buy 1440 pencils. How much do they cost altogether?
i) Mr Daw shows limited willpower and eats 17 biscuits every day in 2009, except for Christmas Day when he eats 28. How many biscuits will Mr Daw have eaten by the end of the year?
j) Being healthy, Mrs Wollington buys a 2.5 litre bottle of olive oil. She uses 567ml in one week, then 0.65 litres the next week. How much does she have left in the bottle by the end of the second week?
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:

Time for a spelling test.
Here are some of the spelling words and patterns that we have looked at over the last few weeks. Give them to another member of your family and have them test you on your knowledge.
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 the answers to yesterday’s comprehension exercises.
Yesterday I put up a special announcement about the buddy letters that you should be writing to the new Primary 1s.
I’ve had 6 returned so far. Today I’m setting the buddy letter as your literacy task. If you have already written it and sent it to me, congratulations take a break and enjoy the sun. If you haven’t, now is your time to get it written.
Here is a link to yesterday’s announcement.
Primary 6 – Important Announcement!
R.E.
We have been learning how Jesus prayed for his friends and for all of us and how he taught his disciples to pray to our Heavenly Father. We know that saying our prayers is very important. On the accompanying illustration of Jesus praying, draw pictures or write names in the thought bubble of yourselves and some of the other people Jesus was praying for. You could choose your families and friends, as well as our brothers and sisters throughout the world.

Colour your picture in when you have finished writing in the names of your family and friends. Now show someone your picture and tell them how much you love them and that you will remember them in your prayers.
Please send us a copy of your picture at gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk or Tweet us @St_BarbarasPS
It is very important for us to talk about how we are feeling. It is especially important now as some of you may be worried about the changes we have all had to make in the last few months. Talking to someone, exercising and relaxing are all great ways to help your health and wellbeing and keep you feeling happy. Today I would like you to play the lanterns game below where you write down how you are feeling and what has made you feel that way. You will then see your feeling float up into the sky.

Now we are going to do some Jump Start Jonny to help us get some fun exercise and make us smile!

Click on whichever video you like or do all three! Magnus’ favourite is “I like to move it.” He doesn’t like to do it himself but he does like to watch me.
Now for some relaxing time. A great way to relax is by doing yoga. Yoga is an ancient form of exercise that focuses on strength, flexibility and breathing to boost physical and mental wellbeing. The main components of yoga are postures (a series of movements designed to increase strength and flexibility) and breathing.
Why not send us some pictures of you taking part in any of the exercises you have been doing today. Send to gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk or Tweet @St_BarbarasPS
You can email me any of your work at:
