Primary 6 – Thursday 14th May

Good morning Primary 6,

Look at that, it’s Thursday already. If days keeps flying past like this it will be Friday tomorrow before you know it.

How did you get on with yesterday’s maths questions?

Here are the answers

a) Joe – £18.66   ,  Jan – £20.12   , Dawn – £20.29   ,  Dave – £17.84

b) Dawn

c) Dave

d) £0.17

e) £12.71

This week we are going to work on some problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Calculate the answers to these questions in your jotter.

a) I bought a calculator, a pen and a pencil case from the internet and the bill came to £17.12. I remember that the calculator was £6.75 and the pen was £2.99. How much was the pencil case?

b) The bill for 4 of us at The Burger Pit, including drinks, came to £19.12. I paid for the drinks, £3.56, and the rest of the bill was split evenly between the four of us. How much did each of my friends pay for their food only and how much did it cost me for my meal and all the drinks?

c) I bought a matching pair of candlesticks that I didn’t need at 2 in the morning on Ebay for £14.92. My wife hated them. I sold one of them for £7.99 on Gumtree and the second one for £2.55, because it was rusty. How much did I lose on the deal?

d) Two chicken suppers and a sausage supper cost me £11.98. If the sausage supper is £2.40, what is the price of a chicken supper.

e) Gordon borrowed money from me. He paid me back eventually. He paid me £2.55 on the first week and followed this with 9 payments of £1.45. How much did Gordon borrow from me?

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:

gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk

This week for spelling we’re looking at a spelling rule. The rule is, “Silent E for V and U”

To avoid words ending in a ‘v’ or a ‘u’ a silent ‘e’ is often added.

Here are a list of words which follow this rule.

give, love, have, live, carve, blue, due. true, glue, clue, twelve, forgive

Today try to LOOK, COVER, WRITE and CHECK your spelling words ahead of tomorrow’s test.

Bring Flowers of the Rarest Hymn

Bring flowers of the rarest
bring blossoms the fairest,
from garden and woodland and hillside and dale;
our full hearts are swelling,
our glad voices telling
the praise of the loveliest flower of the vale!
Refrain

Refrain:
O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today!
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May.
O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May.

Their lady they name thee,
Their mistress proclaim thee,
Ah, grant that thy children on earth be as true
as long as the bowers
are radiant with flowers,
as long as the azure shall keep its bright hue
Refrain

May is the month of Mary.

Today let us say the Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help or sought your intercession,
was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence,
I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;
to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

Now lets think about the different situations in which you could provide help to someone.

Read each of these situations and answer showing the ways in which you could help.

a) If someone was feeling lonely, I could….

b) If someone was feeling unwell, I could….

c) If I accidentally deleted half of my work, I could….

d) If I saw someone being badly treated, I could….

Primary 6 – Friday 1st May

Good Morning Primary 6,

 

Yay, It’s Friday!!

Time for a spelling assessment.


Here are your spelling words for this week. If you can, have another member of your family read them to you as you write them into your jotter, when you are done correct them using this list.

arrow, narrow, sparrow, yellow, elbow, pillow, window, follow, hollow, borrow, sorrow, burrow, shadow, shallow

For those of you who are feeling confident here is an extended list with some extra words from this week.

growl, known, prowl, show, growth, scowl, clown, slow, blown, brown, throw, crown, shown, down, frown, thrown

 

Here’s Cressida Cowell reading chapter 18 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”

Toothless has shown extraordinary bravery. Why? Make a list of the possible reasons for Toothless to behave so out of character. Even Toothless seems surprised by his own actions telling himself that dragons are selfish even while he is flying up The Green Death’s nose.

 

 

Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths questions:

Example :- 3.48256 = 3

a) 2  b) 4  c) 7

d) 9  e) 5  f) 8

g) 12  h) 12  i) 26

j) 1  k) 28  l) 32

Today I would like you to use what you have learned about rounding this week while doing some division. Don’t worry though you can use a calculator for all of these sums, it’s just the rounding that you will need to do yourself.

Write down the answers to these division sums and then round them to the nearest whole number.

Example: 34 ÷ 7= 4.857  rounded to 5

a) 30 ÷ 7  b) 45 ÷ 6  c ) 78 ÷ 15  d) 104 ÷ 27  e) 215 ÷ 46  f) 400 ÷ 39

g) 840 ÷ 350  h) 1000 ÷ 76  i) 2500 ÷ 104  j) 15 ÷ 14  k) 0.2 ÷ 0.3  l) 85.6 ÷ 100

Yesterday I asked you to look at some statements and decide if the situations were fair or unfair in your opinion. Today I would like you to look at statements and decide if your behaviour is fair or unfair.

a) You are punished for breaking the rules but you’re not given a chance to talk your way out of it.

This is …….

b) You see someone else breaking the rules so you break them too.

This is …….

c) You want a bit of fruit bar so you try to cut a deal using your chocolate bar.

This is …….

d) You are being so annoying that someone gets furious and yells loudly at you.

This is …….

e) You do the wrong thing but you have a plan for how you will talk your way out of it.

This is …….

f) You are working with someone else to pack up 25 chairs. You pack up 5 chairs and they pack up 20.

This is …….

g) A friend shares their fruit bar with you so you share the bar of chocolate you don’t want with them.

This is …….
