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 and split them into syllables. The first one is done for you.
musician = mu-si-cian
spacious
financial
optician
official
sufficient
facial
gracious
tactician
electrician
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.
Primary 6 – Important Announcement!

I’ll post the answers tomorrow.

Over the course of the last few days we have been learning about the importance of Pentecost. It has shown us how important the feast is in the church’s year.
There are a few activities below which you can complete to reinforce what you have learned about The Feast of Pentecost and the Holy Spirit. You can choose to do one activity or why not complete it together with your siblings.
When you have finished your activities, take a few minutes to pray together with your family. I have attached a lovely hymn that you could sing together to finish off your Pentecost work for today.

I hope you enjoyed your Slushies yesterday!! We just managed to get them made in the warm weather as today is to be a bit cooler.
YOGA 🧘♀️ 🧘♂️
We are going to follow a little Yoga session that Mrs McFall (Daniel and Luke’s mum) has kindly allowed us to share on the Blog.
Below is a great Yoga workout that you can do along with an adult or your siblings. You can also have your favourite ted join in too.
Yoga is a great skill helping you learn the importance of how you breath which in turn helps us relax and sleep well. (Parents: Mrs McFall recommends that you allow your child to go with the flow and, if you are able to accompany them doing the video, ask them similar questions). Remember with any exercise we should remember to drink plenty to keep us hydrated, looking after our bodies!!
Once again a great big thank you to Mrs McFall and Luke. 👏👏
