Good morning Primary 6,
Just a little extra post today to celebrate some of the brilliant work that our classmates are doing. Just look at this comprehension work that Safeia completed.
Brilliant work Safeia! Well done!

Primary 6 – Monday 18th May
Good morning Primary 6,
Yay, It’s Monday!!
Here are the answers to Friday’s maths questions.
a)£0.96 for 6 melons, £0.94 for 8 melons. It’s cheaper to buy 8 melons.
b) £11.52
c) 12 melons – 2 groups of 6.
d) £7.58 per person so £31.40 for 4.
e) £10.50 per class paying by the minute. 3 classes are £31.50. It’s cheaper to buy 3 classes for £30.
This week we are working on some word problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Calculate the answers to these questions in your jotter.
a) There is room in a multi-storey car park for 45 cars on each of 4
floors. How many cars are there if the car park is half full?
b) It takes 750 bricks to build one wall of a house – how many bricks
will be needed to build all four walls?
c) 28 people eat school dinners. On average, each pupil is given 9
chips. How many chips do the dinner ladies need to cook each day?
d) There are 8 classes in school, each with 34 pupils in them. How
many letters need to be photocopied if each person is to take one home?
e) A postie drives 18 miles to each day to make deliveries. How far do they travel in 7
weeks?
f) A car travels at 55 miles per hour (mph). How many miles will it
travel in 8 hours?
g) A school dinner costs 69p. How much will it cost to have school
dinners every day for 6 weeks?
h) The benches around school cost £40 each. How much did it cost
to buy 22 benches?
i) The swimming pool is 12 metres long. How many metres would I
swim if I did 83 lengths?
j) Emma saves £0.59 each week. How much has she saved after
16 weeks?
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
Sumdog are running a special competition for North Lanarkshire schools. We haven’t made the leader board yet because lots of you are on Sumdog but are not answering the competition questions! You’ve got until the 21st. We would be in the top ten if you were answering competition questions instead of playing other games!!
This week for spelling we’re looking at words which end in ‘et’.
Here is your word list for this week. Copy the words into your jotter and practise them in any way you choose:
jacket, packet, racket, ticket, wicket, cricket,
thicket, locket, pocket, rocket, socket, bucket
Here are the answers to Friday’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 on tomorrow.
R.E.
Yesterday was the sixth Sunday of Easter. In the Gospel, Jesus said that if you love him, you will keep his commandments.
Commandments are rules. However God’s rules are all about love – about loving God and each other. If we love someone, we try our very best to show that by being polite, kind, generous and happy when we talk to them or about them to others.
You have rules and home and we have rules in school. Just like the Ten Commandments, our rules are all about looking after each other and doing the best for each other so that we can all be happy together at home or in school.
Sometimes we break the rules – adults as well as children. If we break God’s rules, we call that sin. Don’t worry though, we can make it better.
Just like at home or in school, if we are sorry and say that to the person we have hurt – and try our best not to do it again – God will forgive us because he loves each one of us so much.
We can read about the Ten Commandments which were given to Moses in the Old Testament which is the first section of the Bible.
You can see them here. Read them or ask an adult for help then chat to someone in your family about them.
In the New Testament (the second section of the Bible), Jesus spoke about love all of the time. In fact, he made a ‘New Commandment.’
He asked us all to, ‘ Love one another as I have loved you.’
If you think about it – we all love ourselves and look after ourselves.
Jesus is saying simply that we should love everyone else as much as we love ourselves. If we all did that, the world would be a much happier place! In fact, if we all did that then we would be following the Ten Commandments without even realizing it!
At Easter, Pope Francis told us that we should love and care for each other, ‘No ifs, no buts!’
Today, let’s think about how we love each other: our family and our friends.
I would like you to choose one of the following activities. You can download and print a picture or you can make one of your own. When you have finished it, place it somewhere where all of the family can see it to remind yourselves of how just much you love and care for each other.
Please email your pictures to gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk or, with an adult’s permission, upload them on to Twitter.
Healthy Snack Day!
We’re heading towards our Virtual Sports’ Day next Tuesday and what better way to prepare than to think about healthy snacks for the day.
They don’t need to be fancy…just healthy and delicious.
Have a look at some of these:
Try to create a healthy snack of your own. What ingredients might you need?
Cooking Skills for Learning, Life and Work!
Depending upon your age, you could practise some of these skills as you prepare your snack. You might need to ask an adult for help.
You will be using skills that will be with you for the rest of your life. These skills are progressive. That means that if you haven’t peeled or sliced ingredients before (see the Primary 1 list) you will need to practise these before you move on to the next list!
Remember to wash your hands before you begin!
|
At Early Level Primary 1 |
First Level
Primary 2- Primary 4 |
Second Level
Primary 5 – Primary 7 |
| o Peeling
o Slicing o Mixing o Spreading
|
o Washing ingredients
o Peeling o Cutting o Juicing o Grating
|
o Weighing o Measuring o Kneading o Chopping o Baking o Grilling |
Once you have made your snack, take a picture before you eat it and share it with all of us!
You can email your picture to gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission. Happy Healthy Snack Day!l
Remember you can still choose another task from your updated learning grid and there are other tasks on Sumdog, StudyLadder, FirstNews and Scholastic Books.

Here is Cressida Cowell reading Chapter 19 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”
Hiccup and Toothless have just saved everyone from certain death but the tribes believe that Toothless is dead and are giving a great viking funeral to the little dragon. Describe this funeral before it is interrupted by Hiccup, Fishlegs and Horrorcow.
Here is some film that might spark your imagination.

I’ve also assigned you some more books in Scholastic Books. Some are shorter but there is one longer novel that I think that you will enjoy.
May is the month of Mary.
In class we would be making a May Altar in honour of Our Lady. One of the things that we would be putting on our class altar would be flowers. Can you find out which flowers are associated with Our Lady? Perhaps you could try to find or draw some at home that you could use to begin making a May Altar of your own.
As it’s Monday it’s time to get your body moving.
Remember you can still choose another task from your learning grid and there are other tasks on Sumdog, StudyLadder, FirstNews and Scholastic Books.

May the fourth be with you!
Mr. McIntosh
Primary 6 – Monday 27th April
Good morning Primary 6,
I hope that you had a lovely weekend and had the chance to enjoy the good weather.
Your spelling words for this week are words which contain “ow.”
arrow
narrow
sparrow
yellow
elbow
pillow
window
follow
hollow
borrow
sorrow
shadow
shallow
Copy them into your jotter and then practice them any way you choose.
Your spelling words, and some words from their word families, are also waiting for you on Sumdog.
Speaking of Sumdog, you have a Place Value Challenge starting today and there is some support work in the Grammar section to help you with your spelling too.
Here is Cressida Cowell reading Chapter 14 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”
Hiccup reveals his, “fiendishly clever plan.” After listening to the chapter try to break Hiccup’s plan into steps. You can number each step and draw a simple image to show what is happening.
Example,
Step 1: Steal feathers from the nesting birds.
Step 2: Steal every item of material that we can find.
Step 3: …..
And so on. Try not to include TOO much detail if you draw Baggybum’s hairy knickers.
You can send me your work at
gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk
I’ve also assigned you two new short books on Scholastic that you can read this week with quizzes about your reading.
You should also have received your GLOW log ins and passwords which means that you can use your own email address. If you didn’t get your log in, let me know and I’ll send it out to you.
Let’s start the week with some movement to get your body working again.
I heard a story about someone who set this workout to double speed so that they could do it in 10 minutes, but they burst.
After the Resurrection on Easter Sunday Jesus appeared to many people. One of those appearances is described in Luke’s Gospel.
Luke 24:13-35 International Children’s Bible (ICB)
On the Road to Emmaus
13 That same day two of Jesus’ followers were going to a town named Emmaus. It is about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking about everything that had happened. 15 While they were discussing these things, Jesus himself came near and began walking with them. 16 (They were not allowed to recognise Jesus.) 17 Then he said, “What are these things you are talking about while you walk?”
The two followers stopped. Their faces were very sad. 18 The one named Cleopas answered, “You must be the only one in Jerusalem who does not know what just happened there.”
19 Jesus said to them, “What are you talking about?”
The followers said, “It is about Jesus of Nazareth. He was a prophet from God to all the people. He said and did many powerful things. 20 Our leaders and the leading priests gave him up to be judged and killed. They nailed him to a cross. 21 But we were hoping that he would free the Jews. It is now the third day since this happened. 22 And today some women among us told us some amazing things. Early this morning they went to the tomb, 23 but they did not find his body there. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels. The angels said that Jesus was alive! 24 So some of our group went to the tomb, too. They found it just as the women said, but they did not see Jesus.”
25 Then Jesus said to them, “You are foolish and slow to realise what is true. You should believe everything the prophets said. 26 They said that the Christ must suffer these things before he enters his glory.” 27 Then Jesus began to explain everything that had been written about himself in the Scriptures. He started with Moses, and then he talked about what all the prophets had said about him.
28 They came near the town of Emmaus, and Jesus acted as if he did not plan to stop there. 29 But they begged him, “Stay with us. It is late; it is almost night.” So he went in to stay with them.
30 Jesus sat down with them and took some bread. He gave thanks for the food and divided it. Then he gave it to them. 31 And then, they were allowed to recognise Jesus. But when they saw who he was, he disappeared. 32 They said to each other, “When Jesus talked to us on the road, it felt like a fire burning in us. It was exciting when he explained the true meaning of the Scriptures.”
33 So the two followers got up at once and went back to Jerusalem. There they found the 11 apostles and others gathered. 34 They were saying, “The Lord really has risen from death! He showed himself to Simon.”
35 Then the two followers told what had happened on the road. They talked about how they recognised Jesus when he divided the bread.
Imagine that you were one of those followers of Jesus that he appeared to on the road to Emmaus. Write about your experience that day and how it changed you.

Mental Maths Answers
Good afternoon boys and girls,
As promised, I have uploaded the answers to the mental maths questions. How well did you do? I will post another few questions tomorrow for you to try.
Bye!
Mrs Grant 🙂
P5/4 – Monday 30th March
Hi boys and girls,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and had some much needed rest! It’s the beginning of a new week and you still have your grid to work through this week so remember to keep trying hard. I’ve been checking Sumdog and lots of you have been on and completed your challenges but some didn’t manage to get on last week. If you can, try and get on this week as it’s a great way of improving your numeracy skills.
I would also like you to go on Studyladder and Firstnews this week. Please login and try a few activities and become familiar with these excellent resources as from next week I’ll be setting tasks for you to try. If you need your login details email me at MaryGrant@st-barbaras.n-lanark.sch.uk
I know it must be hard for you all just now so it is important that you remember to exercise and have lots of fun too. I managed to get out into the sunshine yesterday and went a bike ride with my family – making sure we stayed far away from other people. It was lovely to get some fresh air and exercise! Let us know what you’re doing this week. Tweet us your pictures at @St_BarbarasPS and we’ll retweet for all to see.
Why not try these mental maths questions:
I’ll post the answers at 3pm today!
Stay safe!
Mrs Grant 😀
