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 later today or you can send me your answers at:

A special North Lanarkshire Sumdog competition begins today. We qualified last time and finished 40th overall thanks to amazing performances by Dylan, Safeia, Olivia D, Harris, Olivia C, Niall and Shay. They were our only class members who completed the competition.
More people in our class took part than in any other class but because only 7 of us finished 4 other classes finished higher than we did on the Leaderboard.
Primary 1b beat us by 5 places!
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’.
It’s the day of your spelling test. Give this list of words to someone in your family and ask them to test your knowledge.
musician, spacious, financial, optician, official, sufficient, facial, gracious, tactician, electrician
I’ve assigned you some reading in Scholastic Books.
I’ve now received buddy letters back from most of the class. If you haven’t sent me your’s yet, now is your time to get it written.
