Primary 6 – Tuesday 2nd June

Good Morning Primary 6!!

It’s Tuesday, But you probably already knew that.

What you may not know is that we have been watching, ‘Mi Vida Loca’ on a Tuesday  but in Spain Tuesday is considered an unlucky day, especially Tuesday the 13th

 

Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths questions.

1. 17x48p = 816p ,  2×52 = 624p,  816+624 = 1440p or £14.40
2. Change everything to pence. 435p-75p = 360p,  360p÷3p = 120 pages
3. 3000÷60 = 50 portions of rice
4.  2000x£2.30 = £4,600,  700x£2.30 = £1,610,  50x£2.30= £115,  3x£2.30 = £6.90,  £4,600+£1,610+£115+£6.90 = £6,331.90
5.  Change it all to pence,  61295p÷65 = 943 programmes
6. Simplify and remove the decimal points,  4485÷975 = 4.6 or £4.60
7. 24 cubes÷4 = 6,  6×3(to find ¾) = 18,  so 18 red cubes,  4 blue cubes and 2 green cubes to make 24.
8.  Try a table, estimate and check
   

   Bags of Red	Bags of Green	Total
   1	1	75+90 = 165p or £1.65
   2	2	150+180 = 330p or £3.30
   3	3	225+270 = 495p or £4.95 (75p too much)
   2	3	150+270 = 420p or £4.20

9.  100x50p = 5000p or £50,  80x30p = 2400p or £24,  £80+£24 = £104
10.  40%+15% = 55% leaving 45% still to visit,  45% of 250,000 is 250,000÷100 = 2,500×45 = 112,500 people
11.  There are 5 blocks of 200g in 1kg, so divide by 5,  £7.50÷5 = £1.50
12.  There are 4 stacks of 90p in £3.60 so she buys ¼ of a kilogram or 250g
13.  Try a table, estimate and check
    

    Buy Lunch	Packed Lunch	Total
    5	25	£25+£75 = £100
    10	20	£50+£60 = £110

14.  Change everything to grams and divide, 1500g÷30 or 150÷3 (the answer is the same) = 50 days
15.  8x6g of fibre = 48g of fibre in an 800g loaf,  48g÷20 = 2.4g of fibre in each slice
16.  Weight of matches = 45g-23g = 22g,  one match weighs 22g÷220 = 0.1g
17.  Total cost of the journey is 114x£1.36 = £155.04,  cost for each person is £155.04÷8 = £19.38
18. 35 apple trees cost 35x£24.75 = £866.25,  money left = £1200-£866.25 = £333.75,  £333.75÷12.50 = 26.7 so he can buy 26 pear trees but not 27
19. £40÷4.25 = 9.41,  so they can buy 9 yo-yos,  9 yo-yos cost 9x£4.25 = £38.25,  they have 75p left
20. If a quarter of the class are boys then three quarters are girls, so 18 is ¾, that means 6 is ¼. There are 6 boys in the class

How did you get on? They were a proper nightmare weren’t they. Today were going to go a little easier.

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:

For spelling this week I want to look at another spelling rule.

The sound ‘sh’ represented by ‘ci’.

Some words use ‘ti’ to make ‘sh’. Words like station, nation or education.

When a longer word is formed from a root word, however, the ‘sh’ sound is represented by ‘ci’.

Copy these words into your jotter adding the missing letters

music – mus—–

space  – spa—–

finance  – finan—-

opti-  – opti—-

office  – offi—-

suffi–  – sufficient

face  – fa—-

grace  – gra—–

tactic  – tacti—-

electric  – electri—-

I’ve assigned you some reading in Scholastic Books.

On Thursday and Friday I put up a special announcement about the buddy letters that you should be writing to the new Primary 1’s.

I’ve now received letters back from about three quarters the class.  If you haven’t sent me your’s yet, now is your time to get it written.

Here is a link to the announcement.

The Feast of Pentecost is a very important celebration in the Church’s year and watching the short clip below will give you a snapshot of the importance of this great celebration.

The Feast of Pentecost is seen as the Birthday of the Church.

The Holy Spirit came to the disciples not only as a reminder that Jesus would always be with them but so that they received the strength and courage to continue to build God’s kingdom, not only in Jerusalem but to ensure it reached the ends of the earth.  In John’s Gospel on Sunday we heard not only about Jesus’ word but about Jesus’ action, “he breathed on them and said receive the Holy Spirit”.  Jesus’ breath gives new life, eternal life into the disciples, giving them the courage to go out and spread the word by being given special gifts. Jesus gave them the gift of speaking different languages to be able to carry out his work all over the world.

The Holy Spirit came to us in the Sacrament of Baptism and will or has come again to us in the  Sacrament of Confirmation.  Talk to an adult about your Baptism/Confirmation(if you have made it yet).  Think about all the wonderful gifts God has given us and give thanks to the Lord for all that we have to be glad of.  Just like the disciples we give thanks to the Lord of all the gifts he has given us.  We are so grateful to God for always being with us.

 

With the hot weather that hopefully we have all been enjoying we are going to look at ways to help us stay hydrated.  We know that we need to drink plenty of water and ensure we do that more frequently during hot days.

Another great way to enjoy the hot weather is with a lovely cool Slushie!!

Yum Yum.  Below there is a great recipe, with a little bit of science thrown in, that lets you make a slush with your hands!! Yip that is right you don’t need a fancy NutriBullet or a blender, just your hands.  So here goes :

Instructions to make a cool mouth-watering smoothie!!

• Place one cup of your chosen juice into a small Ziploc bag and zip tight.
• Place 4 cups of ice and half a cup of salt into a large Ziploc bag along with the juice bag and zip that tight too.
• Shake the large bag over the sink or outside for 2-5 minutes or until the juice bag turns to slush.
• Pour into a cup and enjoy!!

If you have your own recipe/method for making a Slushie please email this along with a picture of your Slushie to gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.

Time for, ‘Mi Vida Loca’
