There are more questions like this in your Sumdog challenge this week and in your Studyladder learning pod.

Here is Cressida Cowell reading Chapter 12 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”

Hiccup has gone to speak to The Green Death on his own.

Imagine that you are The Green Death retell the events of the conversation between yourself and Hiccup. Try to write it in the style that we used when writing about being inside The Trojan Horse.

Think about how giant and ancient The Green Death is. Hiccup is no threat to you but something happens in the conversation that makes you take him seriously. Try to describe what is going on inside The Green Death’s mind as you talk together.

 

In case you missed it we have some new reading materials for you to work on. Your parents should have received a username and password for Scholastic Books. Follow this link,

to find a new reading book and quiz for you to complete in your jotter.

 

Remember Monday’s pack of cards workout? Why not try it again today but this time choose your own exercises for each suit.

Hearts

Clubs

Diamonds

Spades

It’s 10 minutes on the timer and you must do the exercise the number of times on the card. Aces are 1, other face cards are 13.

Today is St. George’s Day. There are many stories associated with St. George but the most famous one concerns a dragon. Find out what happened and retell the story in your own words. St George is the patron saint of England, can you discover why?

How did you get on?

Some of you have been emailing me your answers at

gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk

Today, I want to look at rounding.

Think about the number 27. It sits between 20 and 30 on the number line.

These are the closest TENS to 27, but which is closest?

27 is 7 steps away from 20 but only 3 steps away from 30 so if we are rounding to the nearest TEN then 27 is rounded (nearer) to 30.

We say that, “27 rounded to the nearest ten is 30.”

The rule is:- If a number has a 1, 2, 3, or 4 in its units then we round down.

Examples – 24 rounds down to 20,  61 rounds down to 60,  353 rounds down to 350,

27,451 rounds down to 27,450

If the number has 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 in the units then we round up.

Examples – 58 rounds up to 60,  69 rounds up to 70,  397 rounds up to 400,

1,456 rounds up to 1460,  27,305 rounds up to 27,310

1.Round these numbers to the nearest 10

a) 46  b) 82  c)19  d) 84

e) 146  f) 181  g) 219  h) 424

i) 65  j) 195  k) 203  l) 888

2.There were 137 pupils at the school dance. Round this to the nearest 10.

3.It is 432 miles from my home to my secret submarine. Round this to the nearest 10 miles.

4.My bed is 196cm long. Round this to the nearest 10 cm.

5. After a lottery win was shared out each winner received £476. Round this to the nearest 10 pounds.

Write your answers in your jotter and I’ll post them tomorrow. You can also send them to me at

There are more questions like this in your Sumdog challenge this week and in your Studyladder learning pod.

Here is Cressida Cowell reading Chapter 11 (part 2) of, “How to Train your Dragon.”

The Hairy Hooligans have turned to the book, “How to Train your Dragon” to find out how to deal with the enormous sea dragon that is sitting on their beach. The advice is, “Yell at it!”

After listening to the chapter review the advice given in the book. Would you say that it was successful?

We know that yelling does work for smaller dragons so is the advice all bad?

Can you think of any way that the Hairy Hooligans could have followed the advice to, “Yell at it.” and it would have worked?

We also have some new reading materials for you to work on. Your parents should have received a username and password for Scholastic Books yesterday. Follow this link

To find a new reading book and quiz for you to complete in your jotter.

To wake your body up after all that work why not try these stretches

 

Today you could write a prayer thanking God for the things in your life that bring you joy and comfort.

Remember to keep working on an activity from your new homeworking grids.

Oh, and wash your hands!

Primary 6 – Monday 20th April

Well, Good morning Primary 6!

I hope that you had a lovely break and that you are all ready to get back to it.

Uniforms on? Then we can begin.

Let’s get our heads back to it with some trips up and down the number line.

Write down the number that is:

a) 10 after 760  b) 200 after 880  c) 70 before 950

d) 300 after 5390  e) 2000 after 7999  f) 1000 before 8700

g) 4500 after 3500  h) 4000 before 5250  i) 8700 before 9900

j) four hundred and thirty after three thousand nine hundred

k) two thousand five hundred before five thousand six hundred

l) two thousand nine hundred before nine thousand

I’ll post the answers tomorrow or you can email them to me at

gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk

I’m going to be using this email for all your work from now on so if you do anything that you want to send me that’s the address to use.

Here’s Cressida Cowell reading Chapter 10 of “How to Train your Dragon.”

It’s the Thor’s Day Thursday celebrations. After you have listened to the chapter write a newspaper report about the events of the day. Create a headline and then imagine that you are a viking reporter moving through all of the events reporting about what is happening and who it is happening to. Try to use the language that you find in newspapers, you introductory paragraph should tell the who, what, where, when and why of the story and then your following paragraphs should recount each event in greater detail.

It’s always a good idea to get some interviews in towards the end of your article. Perhaps you could imagine an interview with the winner of the Gull’s Egg Eating competition that Gobber throws up during or speak to the mother of the Ugliest Baby winner, she would be so proud. You can write the article in your jotter or word process it.

Send me a copy at

gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk

Now that your brain is fired up let’s get your body moving.

Grab a deck of regular playing cards and set a timer for 10 minutes.

Each suit in the deck is a kind of exercise and the number on the card is the number of times that you need to do it. So:

Spades = squats

Hearts = push ups

Clubs = lunges

Diamonds = jumping jacks

Shuffle the deck and put them near you then start the timer.

Take the first card and complete the exercise,

so if you draw the five of spades, it’s 5 squats

the seven of diamonds, its 7 jumping jacks

after you finish each exercise take a new card and keep going.

If you draw any face card it’s unlucky 13 of that exercise, but aces only count as 1.

If you reach the bottom of the deck before the timer runs out, you’re done! If not, keep going until the timer runs out.

Remember to pick an activity from your new grid to try today.

R.E. – St Thomas the Apostle is often called, “Doubting Thomas” find out why and explain if you think it is fair that he has been given this title.

Let me know how you get on with the activities today. You can email me or hit the comment button below. I’ll be updating Sumdog and Studyladder tomorrow with some new challenges and learning pods.

Primary 6 – Tuesday 31st March

Good morning Primary 6,

How did you get on with yesterday’s maths challenge?

Mrs. McIntosh bought eye-liner for £4.20, hair conditioner for £5.55 and face cream for £3.79.

How much change did she get from three £5 notes and what coins could she have been paid in?

You find the answer by adding all of the costs together £4.20+£5.55+£3.79  to make £13.54

Then subtracting that from 3x£5 = £15

£15 – £13.54 = £1.46

So Mrs. McIntosh gets £1.46 in change.

There are a few different ways to make this in coins but the one which uses the least number of coins is

£1, 20p, 20p, 5p and 1p

Here’s Cressida Cowell reading Chapters 5 and 6 of “How to Train your Dragon”

Old Wrinkly says that the times call for a new kind of hero and he implies that Hiccup could be that hero. Compare and contrast the two ways of being a hero that Old Wrinkly talks about. The old way followed by characters like Snotlout and Professor Yobbish and the new way that Hiccup could show them.

Keep practising your key spelling words and try to add other words in the same family.

For example – lightning, light, lighten, lighting

I added some new learning pods on Studyladder you should have a look at. Remember you can switch from one pod to another and go back when you want to.

Here’s a maths starter for today.

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?

How long did I spend on Studyladder in hours? (This is trickier)

Primary 6 – Monday 30th March

Good morning Primary 6,

I hope that you all had a relaxing weekend and got a chance to enjoy the sunshine. I sat in the sun below the west tower of my palatial mansion thinking about ways of stopping the wild deer from eating the grass on the smaller of my two tennis courts.

Here is Cressida Cowell reading Chapter 4 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”

After listening to the chapter use what you know about the dragons and the Hairy Hooligan Tribe to describe the perfect viking dragon. What kind of qualities are the Hooligans looking for in their dragons?

You have new spelling, reading and maths challenges up on Sumdog today

The key words for your spelling are

teacher

library

bicycle

necessary

separate

chocolate

lightning

twelfth

ambitious

vegetable

parallel

government

weight

You could write and practise them in your jotter this week to help you online.

There are some new maths challenges of Studyladder too.

Here’s a little brain teaser to get you started today

Mrs. McIntosh bought eye-liner for £4.20, hair conditioner for £5.55 and face cream for £3.79.

How much change did she get from three £5 notes and what coins could she have been paid in?

I tell you the answer tomorrow.

Mr. McIntosh
