HWB- Let’s begin with some exercise to get your minds active. I know that you all enjoy Cosmic Kids Yoga so I’d like you to give this one a try, it’s about Coco the butterfly. Have you spotted any butterflies on your daily walks? I have seen lots of different types.
Literacy – This weeks phoneme was a tricky one, ‘ph’. How many ‘ph’ words can you remember? Draw some pictures of the words that you can think of with the ‘ph’ sound in them.

Today is Friday so it’s time for a little test. Write the numbers 1-6 in your jotter and ask someone in your family to call out the words slowly. Think about every sound in the word before you write it down.
1. dolphin
2. photo
3. elephant
4. first
5. little
6. one
Dictated sentences– try to complete one of these sentences, you can do more if you wish.
1.The little elephant has a long trunk.
2. I had one photo on my shelf.
3. I was first in the line.
Reading for enjoyment – Today I would like you to choose a book of your own choice to read aloud to someone in your family. You could choose a book from Scholastic, Collins or a book that you have at home.
Well done to the boys and girls who managed to complete their scholastic book this week, you are doing so well! Keep up the super work. If you didn’t get the chance to read it yet perhaps you will get a chance today.
Numeracy– The North Lanarkshire schools contest for Sumdog begins tomorrow at 8am and will end on Thursday 21st May. It would be amazing if our class could make it onto the leaderboard. Let’s take part over the next few days and have lots of fun playing the games.
RE– We remember Mary, the mother of Jesus and our mother. Let’s say a Hail Mary and remember all of the people who are sick and in hospital. Below is a link for you to try and draw a picture of Mary. Talk to someone in your family about the kind of person you think Mary was. Can you write some of these words around your picture that describe Mary?

I hope you have a lovely weekend with your families. Take care and keep safe.

This morning I would like you to watch Newsround and discuss something that you learned from one of the news articles with someone in your household. If you want to, you could write a short summary about one of the news articles in your jotter. Remember you only need to include they key information.
Here is the link to today’s learning activities-
Have a wonderful weekend Primary 7. Have fun, stay safe and make memories!

Good afternoon boys and girls😀
Well done to all of the children who managed to take part in today’s Sumdog Maths competition. You have all worked very hard and tried your very best. The leader board was very close but we have a winner.
The winner of our maths competition is Aaron.👏🌟
Well done Aaron! You have been crowned our MATHS CHAMPION this week!🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Miss McEleney😀🌈❣️
Good Afternoon Primary 5!
The answer sheet for today’s challenges can be found below.
See you on Monday!
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.
Here are the answers to yesterday’s comprehension exercises
I’ve assigned you some reading in Scholastic Books.
Here are three new comprehension exercises for today. You can choose to do as many of them as you wish.
I’ll post the answers tomorrow.
May is the month of Mary.
Find out what you can about the events that happened in Lourdes in France in 1858. Why do you think that Lourdes has become such an important place for Catholics?
