May is the month of Mary.
Today let us say the Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help or sought your intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence,
I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;
to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
Now lets think about the different situations in which you could provide help to someone.
Read each of these situations and answer showing the ways in which you could help.
a) If someone was feeling lonely, I could….
b) If someone was feeling unwell, I could….
c) If I accidentally deleted half of my work, I could….
d) If I saw someone being badly treated, I could….
e) If I saw an animal in distress, I could….

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.

Mr. McIntosh
Good Morning Primary 6,
Yesterday I asked you to sort our spelling words out into a table showing the number of syllables that they have.
You should have ended up with something like this
| One syllable | Two syllables |
Three syllables |

Mr. McIntosh
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

For Health and Wellbeing today I would like you to identify all of the ways that you are being supported by other members of your family and how you are supporting them. Perhaps they have cleared a part of the room to be your work space or they have created a chart giving you time to work on each task. Maybe you have been doing chores around the house more regularly or helping a younger sibling with their work. You could list these things in your jotter.
Finally, here is the next episode of, Mi Vida Loca.
Mr. McIntosh

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.

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.
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.

There is also a short place value assessment waiting for you on Sumdog today. It only lasts for one day so you’ll need to do it before dinner time.
Here is Cressida Cowell reading Chapter 13 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”
But today I want you to look back at the similes in Chapter 11
Have a look at this work on how to understand and use similes and metaphors,

Then try the activities that follow it.
If you haven’t checked already, there is a road safety design competition starting on the school’s Twitter today.
You could also try some Spanish alphabet today.
For Health today I want you to look back over your week and make a list of the things that you have achieved. You are all dealing with big changes in the way that you live and learn and today is a great opportunity to remind yourself that you are doing well.
As you round out your week remember that you and your family can still celebrate Mass on the St. Barbara’s Facebook page.
Mr. McIntosh
