Good morning Primary 6,
The “Four Operations Competition” ended yesterday on Sumdog with the Genius Girls winning.
Congratulations Genius Girls!!
Here’s the answer to yesterday’s maths starter,
“I started adding work to Studyladder at twenty to four and finished at twenty past five.
How long did I spend on Studyladder in minutes?”
20 minutes until 4 + 1 hour until 5 + 25 minutes past 5 = 105 minutes
How long did I spend on Studyladder in hours? (This is trickier)
105 minutes is 1 hour and 45 minutes or 1 and three quarter hours or 1.75 hours.
Did you get it?
You can tweet your answers to any of the challenges @St_BarbarasPS and I’ll be able to see them or you can hit the “Leave a reply.” button at the top of these posts.
Here’s Cressida Cowell reading Chapter 7 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”
This is the first time that Toothless has seen Hiccup or heard him speaking dragonese. Imagine yourself in Toothless’s position, locked in a basket, taken from your cave, surrounded by humans. Write a short description in the first person (I and me) about what you are seeing, hearing, thinking and feeling. Remember when we wrote about being in the Trojan Horse and try to do something similar. Make your writing full of adjectives, adverbs and emotional content.
Lots of people did brilliantly on the 2D shape and 3D object learning pod on Studyladder yesterday! Keep up the good work, it’s great to see how much you know.
Have another look at your key spelling words for this week. Try to use as many of them as possible in one paragraph,
“The TEACHER said that it was NECESSARY to BICYCLE to the LIBRARY but, because of the LIGHTNING, I felt that this was AMBITIOUS and decided to SEPARATE myself from the WEIGHT of the bike and walk instead. He called me a VEGETABLE and so I reported him to the GOVERNMENT, for the TWELFTH time.”
Here is an interactice maths starter for today. Can you finish in less than 6 minutes?
Mr. McIntosh
