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.

You can email me any of your work at:

May the fourth be with you!

Primary 6 – Friday 1st May

Good Morning Primary 6,

 

Yay, It’s Friday!!

Time for a spelling assessment.


Here are your spelling words for this week. If you can, have another member of your family read them to you as you write them into your jotter, when you are done correct them using this list.

arrow, narrow, sparrow, yellow, elbow, pillow, window, follow, hollow, borrow, sorrow, burrow, shadow, shallow

For those of you who are feeling confident here is an extended list with some extra words from this week.

growl, known, prowl, show, growth, scowl, clown, slow, blown, brown, throw, crown, shown, down, frown, thrown

 

Here’s Cressida Cowell reading chapter 18 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”

Toothless has shown extraordinary bravery. Why? Make a list of the possible reasons for Toothless to behave so out of character. Even Toothless seems surprised by his own actions telling himself that dragons are selfish even while he is flying up The Green Death’s nose.

 

 

Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths questions:

Example :- 3.48256 = 3

a) 2  b) 4  c) 7

d) 9  e) 5  f) 8

g) 12  h) 12  i) 26

j) 1  k) 28  l) 32

Today I would like you to use what you have learned about rounding this week while doing some division. Don’t worry though you can use a calculator for all of these sums, it’s just the rounding that you will need to do yourself.

Write down the answers to these division sums and then round them to the nearest whole number.

Example: 34 ÷ 7= 4.857  rounded to 5

a) 30 ÷ 7  b) 45 ÷ 6  c ) 78 ÷ 15  d) 104 ÷ 27  e) 215 ÷ 46  f) 400 ÷ 39

g) 840 ÷ 350  h) 1000 ÷ 76  i) 2500 ÷ 104  j) 15 ÷ 14  k) 0.2 ÷ 0.3  l) 85.6 ÷ 100

Yesterday I asked you to look at some statements and decide if the situations were fair or unfair in your opinion. Today I would like you to look at statements and decide if your behaviour is fair or unfair.

a) You are punished for breaking the rules but you’re not given a chance to talk your way out of it.

This is …….

b) You see someone else breaking the rules so you break them too.

This is …….

c) You want a bit of fruit bar so you try to cut a deal using your chocolate bar.

This is …….

d) You are being so annoying that someone gets furious and yells loudly at you.

This is …….

e) You do the wrong thing but you have a plan for how you will talk your way out of it.

This is …….

f) You are working with someone else to pack up 25 chairs. You pack up 5 chairs and they pack up 20.

This is …….

g) A friend shares their fruit bar with you so you share the bar of chocolate you don’t want with them.

This is …….

h) Everyone else is working but you are talking.

This is …….

i) You are working with someone else to pack up 25 chairs. You pack up 15 chairs and they pack up 10.

This is …….

j) A few people in class are talking when they should be working and you are talking too.

This is …….

 

 

 

Today is the first Friday in May and we would have been going to Mass today. You can follow Holy Mass which is being streamed through Facebook (supervised by an adult) by Father Campbell at 10am on weekdays.

Remember you can still choose another task from your learning grid and there are other tasks on Sumdog, StudyLadder, FirstNews and Scholastic Books.

You can email me any of your work at:

Primary 6 – Wednesday 29th April

 

Good Morning Primary 6,

Yesterday I asked you to divide some ‘ow’ words from our spelling list into two columns.

You should have ended up with something like this:

Words with ‘ow’

Sounding like ‘cow’

Words with ‘ow’

Sounding like ‘window’
clown

growl

prowl

scowl

clown

brown

crown

down

frown

slow

known

show

growth

slow

blown

throw

shown

thrown

Today I would like you to sort our spelling words out into a table showing the number of syllables that they have.

Remember a syllable is a part of a word that can be sounded by itself. Each syllable has a vowel sound. For example:

pillow = pil-low

arrow = ar-row

Notice that the double letters are split between the syllables.

One syllable Two syllables

Three syllables
grow Follow = fol-low

Following = fol-low-ing

rainbow, window, swallow, tomorrow, barrow, own, mower, borrowing, hollow, sparrow, elbow, burrow, shadow, shallow

 

Here’s Cressida Cowell reading chapter 16 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”

Hiccup’s fiendishly clever plan has gone wrong. The Green Death is dying but it’s not dead yet. Hiccup declares that this is truly the worst moment of his life as he falls into the dragon’s open mouth. Thinking back over all that we have heard so far about Hiccup try to make a list of all of the worst moments in Hiccup’s life that have lead him to this point. Is this really the worst moment? Were the other times that Hiccup declared, “This is the worst moment of my life.” really all that bad? Would you describe Hiccup as an optimist or a pessimist?

 

 

Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths statements.

a) 6.7 lies between 6 and 7. It is closer to 7

b) 4.3 lies between 4 and 5 . It is closer to 4

c) 7.5 lies between 7 and 8 . It is closer to 8

d) 1.58 lies between 1 and 2 . It is closer to 2

e) 5.34 lies between 5 and 6 . It is closer to 5

f) 0.83 lies between 0 and 1 . It is closer to 1

g) 10.8 lies between 10 and 11 . It is closer to 11

h) 23.25 lies between 23 and 24 . It is closer to 23

i) 58.81 lies between 58 and 59 . It is closer to 59

Saying that 58.81 is closer to 59 is ROUNDING 58.81 to 59. Today I want you to round these decimals to the nearest whole number. You don’t need to write the numbers that they are between today, just the answer will do.

1a) 7.4  b) 8.6  c)9.8  d) 2.1

e) 3.47  f) 6.85  g)15.29  h) 20.63

i) 25.27  j) 33.99  k) 42.14  l) 68.50

2a) 4.10  b) 5.90  c) 3.40  d) 8.70

e) 12.80  f) 14.50  g) 17.39  h) 18.72

i) 0.34  j) 0.51  k) 0.50  l) 101.49

Now why don’t we have a Wednesday Workout.

Today is the memorial day of St. Catherine of Siena a woman who lead an extraordinary life. Watch this short film about her and then record in your jotter why she was so special.
