Primary 6 – Wednesday 27th May

Good Morning Primary 6!!

I hope that you are all quite recovered after yesterday’s sports day exertions.

It’s Wednesday,

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) Hayden plays 6 Xbox games. He scores 3.2 points in each game. How many points does he score altogether?

b) Olivia runs 5.4 miles every day. If she runs for 8 days, how far does she run?

c) Riley does a sponsored silence. For every hour, he must be silent he raises £8.50. How much will he raise if he stays silent for 9 hours?

d) Miss Huntley walks 3.6 miles to school. How many miles does she walk over 5 days?

e) Miss Huntley decides to walk home as well, so she walks 7.2 miles a day. How many miles does she walk over 15 days?

f) Caitlyn draws a square. Each side is 15.8cm. What is the perimeter of the square?

g) Brandon’s car drives 6.3 miles on one litre of petrol. How many miles will he cover on 4 litres of petrol?

h) Reece’s hair grows 0.8 cm per month. How many cm will his hair grow in 9 months?

i) Alexander measures rainfall over 7 months. The rain fall is 0.6 cm each month. How much rain has fallen over the 7 months?

j) Elvin buys a new pair of shoes with four shoe laces. Each shoe lace is 32.3cm long. How long are all four shoe laces put together?

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

 

This week for spelling it’s time for a roundup.

Here are some of the spelling words and patterns that we have looked at over the last few weeks. Copy them into your jotter and begin to practise them ahead of a  spelling test on Friday.

jacket,  packet,  racket,  live,  carve,  blue,  due,  process,  resources,  soldier,  sparrow,  yellow,  elbow,  necessary,  separate,  chocolate,  lightning

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.

Axolotl Comprehension

Colt Comprehension

R.E.

When Jesus needed to feel very close to his Father, what did he do? – He would pray.  Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, before he was betrayed by Judas.  He prayed before he raised Lazarus from the dead and Jesus prayed during the Last Supper, before he broke the bread.  Like us Jesus needed to share his worries and problems with his heavenly Father; he knew that he was never alone.  Just as we are never alone.  God is always with us.

When we pray we are having a conversation with God.  When we talk to God, he listens.  We don’t have to have special times for saying prayers.  Often we say them at bedtime but we can talk to God at any time.  Do you ever feel unsure about what to say to God?  Don’t worry as God our Father likes to hear about everything we have to tell him and he is always ready to listen.

The apostles knew how important it was to pray to God but like us they often felt uncertain about how to pray.  One day they asked Jesus to teach them how to pray.  What was the prayer that Jesus taught them? – The Our Father.

Watch this short video about how Jesus taught his disciples the Our Father:

 

Let’s say the Our Father now.  I have copied the words to help you if you need it.

I would like you to download the picture below if you can and colour it in.  If you can’t download it why not draw a picture like this one.

Please send us a copy of your picture at gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk or Tweet us @St_BarbarasPS.

 

I hope you enjoyed sport’s day yesterday and had plenty of fun!  I would like you to keep having fun whilst exercising.  Research shows that regular exercise has lots of benefits including:

  • improving fitness
  • increasing concentration
  • building a stronger heart, bones and healthier muscles
  • encouraging healthy growth and development
  • improving posture and balance
  • lowering stress
  • Encouraging a better night’s sleep

Today we are going to have a Wild Workout with Andy.  Andy is off to the Arctic to see what he can find.  Let’s join him and exercise on the way!

Now let’s do a fun dance video with GoNoodle:

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….

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

Primary 6 – Tuesday 28th April

Good morning Primary 6,

Our spelling words this week all contain ‘ow’ but ‘ow’ can make more than one sound.

In your jotter sort the following words into two columns

Words with ‘ow’

Sounding like ‘cow’

Words with ‘ow’

Sounding like ‘window’
clown

slow

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

I can see that some of you have been using the support materials on Sumdog, remember Sumdog has more than just maths games on it and I have set some spelling and grammar challenges for you too.

Here is Cressida Cowell reading chapter 15 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”

The Green Death and The Purple Death are face to face and the great battle has begun. Visualise the battle, the Green Death on one side and the Purple Death on the other. Describe their thick skin, their huge talons, their violent attacks and the effect that their enormous, thrashing bodies are having on the headland and on the boys.

For a math’s starter today

Lets try a speed challenge. Follow the link below. Choose level 5, rounding, up to 1,000,000 to nearest 10 and set yourself 10 seconds for each question.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10

Then copy and complete these statements in your jotter:

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

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

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

Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar began on the evening of Thursday the 23rd of April. Ramadan remembers the month that the Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet Mohammad.

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.

P5/4 – Tuesday 31st March

Good morning boys and girls!

I hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday and managed to get out – perhaps into your garden for a play.

Today I’d like you to go out and exercise in your garden if you can or join in on one of the many workouts – perhaps Joe Wicks or Jumpstart Jonny.

Keep up with the Sumdog, Firstnews and Studyladder activities.

Have a go at these mental maths questions.  Remember try to answer them without writing your working down.

I will post the answers today at 3pm.

I would also like you to say a prayer for everyone who is sick and is in need of our prayers.  Why don’t we all stop what we are doing at 12.30pm if we can and say the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be.  Remembering to keep those who are sick in our thoughts.

Take care boys and girls,

Mrs Grant 🙂
