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.

As we know things just now are very different from what we are used to.  By now our new Primary 1 children would have been in to visit the school but, like you, they have not been able to come in for their visits.  We are thinking that it would be a lovely idea for you to say a little prayer for them.  In order to make them feel welcome to our school in August, I would like you to choose the word for your stage below, write/colour it on a sheet of paper, hold it up and ask an adult to take a picture of you holding your word with a big smile and if it is possible you could wear your uniform.  Please email your picture to gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk . We will use these to make our Primary 1’s feel very welcome to our school.

A    Great   Big      Welcome     To     St.     Barbara’s!

Primary 1 – A; Primary 5 – Great; Primary 4 – Big; Primary 6 – Welcome; Primary 2 – To; PRIMARY 3 – St. (remember the dot); Primary 7 – Barbara’s!

Do you remember our Easter Message?

We still miss you lots!!

We we’re talking yesterday about how important it is to look after our bodies. Drinking plenty especially during exercise and warm weather to keep us hydrated.  Our bodies are amazing things.

Here is a little activity to keep you busy and at the same time learn about all of the parts that make up ‘US’!!

Have you got a roll of wallpaper lying around or if you have been receiving lots of packages (did you know all our posties are busier than their busiest time of the year, Christmas!) during lockdown and have cardboard boxes around I want you to lie them flat on the ground and get someone in your house to draw round you.  (The weather’s not looking that good today but should be dry so even do this task outside)

Here we have our template!!  Can you label and identify as many parts of the human body, all the organs?  See if you can have a good guess at where they are located.  Our heart 💓 Should be easy, what about our lungs, liver etc.  Try to see how many you can find.  You could even put your artistic talents to good use and draw them in.

Remember to email your marvellous pictures to gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.
