Primary 6 – Important Announcement!

Primary 6 – Friday 29th May

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:

gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk

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.

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

Primary 4/3 – Friday 29 May 2020

🌈HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE🌈

Good morning boys and girls, can you believe that it’s Friday already and this is the last school day of May. Monday will be a new month.

I hope you were able to enjoy the sunshine and today has to be very warm. Please make sure you take care in the sun. Drink plenty of water and remember to take breaks.

Let’s start the day with our morning prayer 🙏. We could also say a Hail Mary remembering anyone who needs a little prayer.

Literacy 📝📖 🔠

Please continue with the book that has been assigned to you on Scholastics. If you have not been in touch to get your book, please email me on gw09boyceshirley2@glow.sch.uk. Remember boys and girls when reading your book you need to be able to tell someone about what you have read. When we read it is important that you understand what you read. Like we would in class, use a dictionary or ask an adult to explain anything you don’t understand.

A word we have been hearing a lot recently is

LOCKDOWN!!

Use this word to make as many words as you can. Your words need to be at least two letters in length. Try for 15.

The next activity also involves LOCKDOWN, let’s have a treasure hunt in the house or in the garden. Can you find me eight items beginning with each letter in lockdown (this means you need to find two items beginning with ‘O’ – they can’t be the same). Write all your items down or send me a picture.

For the last piece of literacy work today, I would like you to test yourself on the phoneme words you have been working on. Ask someone in your house to test you and if they have time to dictate four sentences. How did you do?

Numeracy 🔢

Let’s click the link below:-

Please choose Level 4, multiplication or division up to 12, choosing a table you have been working on. Choose a 5 second gap or can you challenge yourself with a 3 second gap!! Let me know how you get on.

Today we will continue on our 4 number operations revision. These are addition/subtraction/multiplication/division (+ – x ÷). Will we add, subtract, multiply or divide. Read the questions carefully.

Continue on your work from the textbook from yesterday. I know some people have completed it and if you would like a further exercise just drop me an email.

When you have finished you can choose to play an online maths game of your choice for one of the four operations.

R.E. 🙏

Literacy📖

Continue to practise all of your initial sounds, phonemes and common words.
Revise ee phoneme – choose one worksheet to copy and complete.

Reading – Today I would like you to select a book of your own choice and find/make a cosy space in your garden to read it. You can choose from Scholastic, Collins or one that you have at home. Can you design a new cover for your book including: title, author, illustrator and picture?

Remember that there have been tasks assigned to you on Studyladder to help with your common words and phonemes so if you’ve not had a go, login and give it a try! Well done to Arran and Eryn for completing your tasks, they were fantastic!

Maths ⏰

Today you will be continuing to learn more about Time.

Activities that happen at certain times of the day

We are going to begin by talking about activities that happen at certain times of day. We do different activities in the morning, afternoon and evening.

When do you eat breakfast? In the morning.

When do you go to sleep? At night.

Look at the pictures below whether you would and discuss with your mum or dad whether you would do the activity in the morning, the afternoon or at night.

Can you think of one more thing that you do in the morning, afternoon and at night?

Label the parts of a clock

Yesterday you were learning about the main parts of the clock. Can you point and name each part of the clock below.

Can you remember which hand is the hour hand and which hand is the minutes hand? Remember a clue is to look carefully at the size of the hands.

How did you get on yesterday making your own clock faces? I loved seeing pictures of some of the clocks that you created.

Telling the Time

Counting is essential for time-telling.

To help the process of learning how to tell the time, encourage your child to practise counting from 1 to 60 in the correct order.

If they can count from 1-60, move on to counting in groups of 5 – remember to point out that when you count in fives, every number ends in a 5 or 0.

Remember boys and girls:

The long hand represents minutes.

The short hand represents hours.

If you have a clock in the house, use it to help explain the following to your child:

There are 60 seconds in one minute. When the long hand goes right round the clock that is 60 seconds.

There are 60 minutes in one hour. When the short hand goes right round the clock that is 60 minutes.

The Hour Hand

Today you will be learning how to tell the time to the hour on the analogue clock.

The analogue clock face is just a special kind of number line. A clock is just a circular number line from 1 to 12.

When the short hand points to a number, this tells us how many hours it is.

When the minute hand is pointing to 12, it is showing a full hour.
We call this time ‘o’clock’.

On this clock, the hour hand is pointing at the 4 and the minute hand is pointing to the 12.

This clock is showing that the time is 4 o’clock.

I would like you to read this PowerPoint carefully. It will give you a step-by-step guide of how to tell the time using o’clock. At the end there is a little quiz to test how well you have been listening.

t-n-7132-telling-the-time-powerpoint-

One way to help your child grasp a better understanding of time is to draw your child’s attention to time. Mention the time at different points in the day. For example, you could say, ‘it’s 5 o’clock – time for tea,’ or ‘it’s 7 o’clock – time for a bath.’

Here is today’s overview:

Literacy

Instructional Writing

Today we are going to continue with instructional writing. Last week you were writing instructions on how to wash your hands properly.

Over the weeks, you have been writing instructions to explain how to make or do something.

We want the reader to be able to follow the instructions and do the task on their own.

Instructions are always in chronological order(that’s a fancy way of saying time order).

They should have:

A title- What are you going to make or do?

What you need- A list of materials, ingredients, equipment or tools that you need to complete the task.

What to do- Explain what to do, one step at a time, in the correct order.

Pictures- These pictures help the reader to follow the instructions easily.

Today you are going to become a professional gardener.

Dippy wants to plant a seed but he doesn’t know how to. Do you think you could write instructions today to explain how to plant a seed.

First I would like you to watch this video clip to help you learn how to plant a seed. Remember you need to listen carefully so that you understand each instruction.

Now that you know how to plant a seed, do you think you could write simple instructions to help Dippy learn how to plant a seed?

I have included a document below with pictures and words to help you.

First, then, next and last will help you order your sentences.

how to plant a seed

Write the instructions in your jotter. You can use the picture below to help you.

Maybe you could try planting a seed one day now you are a professional.
