Primary 6 – Thursday 21st May

Good morning Primary 6,

It’s Thursday, the English word Thursday is named after the Norse god of thunder, Thor. Thursday means Thor’s day in Old English. Thor is represented riding a chariot drawn by goats (They left this bit out of The Avengers) and wielding his hammer . In Latin, Thursday is named ‘Jovis dies’ after the god Jupiter

(The bit they never show you in the movies 🤫)

Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths questions.

a) 316,900+81,971+49,500 = 448,371

b) 15,467-8,769 = 6,698

c) 12,742 km – 6,779 km = 5,963 km

d) 20,000-1,543 = 18,457-2,575 = 15,882-6,543 = 9,339 survived

e) £2,000,000-£455,500 = £1,544,500-£103,500 = £1,441,000-£13,900 = £1,427,100 left

 

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) Alisha went on a shopping spree and bought 12 pairs of shoes. Each pair cost £15. How much did she spend?

b) If Riley eats 5 biscuits a day, how many does he eat over 234 days?

c) Mr Burroughs wants to replace the school’s footballs. Each football costs £9 and he wants to order 134. How much will they cost?

f) Brandon goes to watch the football 17 times in a month. How many times does he watch the football over 12 months?

h) William watches 4 TV programmes every day. How many programmes does he watch over 365 days?

j) Lewis takes a train to London. Each train carriage can carry 66 passengers. The train has 11 carriages. What is the total number of passengers that the train can carry?

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.

R.E.

Today is Ascension Thursday!

We have been thinking about loving and caring for others all week and we have tried to follow Jesus’ commandment to, ‘Love one another as I have loved you.’

You have created a Caring Wreath to show that you care and you have learned about how Jesus ascended into heaven forty days after his resurrection on Easter Sunday.

Normally on Ascension Thursday we would all be going to Mass. Although we can’t actually go to church today, Bishop Toal is celebrating Mass for all of the children of the Diocese of Motherwell at 11am. 

This Mass is being streamed on Facebook so you will need an adult’s permission to watch this:

www.facebook.com/rcmotherwell

Father Campbell is also celebrating Mass on St. Barbara’s Parish website at 10am.

With an adult’s permission, please select a Mass to follow.

You might also like to watch the clip below. You can join in if you like.

 

It’s the last day before the holiday weekend and before Sports’ Day on Tuesday!!!

For some of today’s activities you need dice or you can make some (see below).

Select one or more of the following to do today:

   

Look out for news about Sports’ Day activities!

R.E.

Yesterday we were looking at the Ten Commandments and Jesus’ message to,

‘Love one another as I have loved you.’

I asked you to think about your families and how much you love them. I also reminded you that Pope Francis has told us all to care for others, ‘No ifs, no buts!’

Today I would like to think about the people living in the same house as you; there might be two of you, there might be six of you! It doesn’t matter. Now I would like you to think of FIVE little things that you could do this week for those in your home. It could be that you set the table, make your bed, clear up after a meal, make someone a cup of tea or even take the vacuum cleaner for a walk!

When you have selected five things, draw some heart shapes and inside each, draw or write your tasks. You can make some extra hearts for decoration. Colour or decorate them carefully. Next make a circle wreath-shape like the picture below or if you have a paper plate, use that. Attach your heart shapes and display your Caring Wreath somewhere you can see it easily. Carry out your tasks this week and show that you care – no ifs, no buts!

Please email your Caring Wreath to gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk  or, with an adult’s permission, upload them on to Twitter @St_BarbarasPS and to Pope Francis’ Twitter @Pontifex

 

Yesterday we had a look at making healthy snacks and the skills you need to create something delicious in the kitchen!

Today as we get closer to Sports’ Day next Tuesday, let’s be a little more energetic with a dance and then some yoga!

 

As it’s Tuesday why don’t we follow the further adventures of, “Mi Vida Loca”

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    Cutting

o    Juicing

o    Grating

 

o    Weighing

o    Measuring

o    Kneading

o    Chopping

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
