Primary 6 – Tuesday 2nd June

Good Morning Primary 6!!

It’s Tuesday, But you probably already knew that.

What you may not know is that we have been watching, ‘Mi Vida Loca’ on a Tuesday  but in Spain Tuesday is considered an unlucky day, especially Tuesday the 13th

 

Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths questions.

  1. 17x48p = 816p ,  2×52 = 624p,  816+624 = 1440p or £14.40
  2. Change everything to pence. 435p-75p = 360p,  360p÷3p = 120 pages
  3. 3000÷60 = 50 portions of rice
  4.  2000x£2.30 = £4,600,  700x£2.30 = £1,610,  50x£2.30= £115,  3x£2.30 = £6.90,  £4,600+£1,610+£115+£6.90 = £6,331.90
  5.  Change it all to pence,  61295p÷65 = 943 programmes
  6. Simplify and remove the decimal points,  4485÷975 = 4.6 or £4.60
  7. 24 cubes÷4 = 6,  6×3(to find ¾) = 18,  so 18 red cubes,  4 blue cubes and 2 green cubes to make 24.
  8.  Try a table, estimate and check

    Bags of Red

    		 Bags of Green Total
    1 1

    75+90 = 165p or £1.65

    2

    		 2

    150+180 = 330p or £3.30

    3

    		 3

    225+270 = 495p or £4.95

    (75p too much)
    2 3

    150+270 = 420p or £4.20
  9.  100x50p = 5000p or £50,  80x30p = 2400p or £24,  £80+£24 = £104
  10.  40%+15% = 55% leaving 45% still to visit,  45% of 250,000 is 250,000÷100 = 2,500×45 = 112,500 people
  11.  There are 5 blocks of 200g in 1kg, so divide by 5,  £7.50÷5 = £1.50
  12.  There are 4 stacks of 90p in £3.60 so she buys ¼ of a kilogram or 250g
  13.  Try a table, estimate and check
    Buy Lunch Packed Lunch

    Total

    5

    		 25

    £25+£75 = £100

    10

    		 20

    £50+£60 = £110
  14.  Change everything to grams and divide, 1500g÷30 or 150÷3 (the answer is the same) = 50 days
  15.  8x6g of fibre = 48g of fibre in an 800g loaf,  48g÷20 = 2.4g of fibre in each slice
  16.  Weight of matches = 45g-23g = 22g,  one match weighs 22g÷220 = 0.1g
  17.  Total cost of the journey is 114x£1.36 = £155.04,  cost for each person is £155.04÷8 = £19.38
  18. 35 apple trees cost 35x£24.75 = £866.25,  money left = £1200-£866.25 = £333.75,  £333.75÷12.50 = 26.7 so he can buy 26 pear trees but not 27
  19. £40÷4.25 = 9.41,  so they can buy 9 yo-yos,  9 yo-yos cost 9x£4.25 = £38.25,  they have 75p left
  20. If a quarter of the class are boys then three quarters are girls, so 18 is ¾, that means 6 is ¼. There are 6 boys in the class

How did you get on? They were a proper nightmare weren’t they. Today were going to go a little easier.

  1. Mr Gifford has 282,519 photos on his camera. His sister has 632,649. How many more photos does Mr Gifford’s sister have?

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:

For spelling this week I want to look at another spelling rule.

The sound ‘sh’ represented by ‘ci’.

Some words use ‘ti’ to make ‘sh’. Words like station, nation or education.

When a longer word is formed from a root word, however, the ‘sh’ sound is represented by ‘ci’.

Copy these words into your jotter adding the missing letters

music – mus—–

space  – spa—–

finance  – finan—-

opti-  – opti—-

office  – offi—-

suffi–  – sufficient

face  – fa—-

grace  – gra—–

tactic  – tacti—-

electric  – electri—-

I’ve assigned you some reading in Scholastic Books.

On Thursday and Friday I put up a special announcement about the buddy letters that you should be writing to the new Primary 1’s.

I’ve now received letters back from about three quarters the class.  If you haven’t sent me your’s yet, now is your time to get it written.

R.E.

The Feast of Pentecost is a very important celebration in the Church’s year and watching the short clip below will give you a snapshot of the importance of this great celebration.

The Feast of Pentecost is seen as the Birthday of the Church.

The Holy Spirit came to the disciples not only as a reminder that Jesus would always be with them but so that they received the strength and courage to continue to build God’s kingdom, not only in Jerusalem but to ensure it reached the ends of the earth.  In John’s Gospel on Sunday we heard not only about Jesus’ word but about Jesus’ action, “he breathed on them and said receive the Holy Spirit”.  Jesus’ breath gives new life, eternal life into the disciples, giving them the courage to go out and spread the word by being given special gifts. Jesus gave them the gift of speaking different languages to be able to carry out his work all over the world.

The Holy Spirit came to us in the Sacrament of Baptism and will or has come again to us in the  Sacrament of Confirmation.  Talk to an adult about your Baptism/Confirmation(if you have made it yet).  Think about all the wonderful gifts God has given us and give thanks to the Lord for all that we have to be glad of.  Just like the disciples we give thanks to the Lord of all the gifts he has given us.  We are so grateful to God for always being with us.

 

With the hot weather that hopefully we have all been enjoying we are going to look at ways to help us stay hydrated.  We know that we need to drink plenty of water and ensure we do that more frequently during hot days.

Another great way to enjoy the hot weather is with a lovely cool Slushie!!

Yum Yum.  Below there is a great recipe, with a little bit of science thrown in, that lets you make a slush with your hands!! Yip that is right you don’t need a fancy NutriBullet or a blender, just your hands.  So here goes :

Instructions to make a cool mouth-watering smoothie!!

  • Place one cup of your chosen juice into a small Ziploc bag and zip tight.
  • Place 4 cups of ice and half a cup of salt into a large Ziploc bag along with the juice bag and zip that tight too.
  • Shake the large bag over the sink or outside for 2-5 minutes or until the juice bag turns to slush.
  • Pour into a cup and enjoy!!

If you have your own recipe/method for making a Slushie please email this along with a picture of your Slushie to gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.

Time for, ‘Mi Vida Loca’

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:

Primary 6 – Wednesday 20th May

Good morning Primary 6,

It’s Wednesday, the name Wednesday actually derives from two mighty but distinct pagan gods.

The Old English word for Wednesday indicates that the day was named for the Germanic god Woden or Odin.

In Romance languages, the name is derived from the Roman god Mercury. (For example, Wednesday is Mercredi in French.)

So watch out for ravens today. They are said to be the eyes of Odin and will carry news back to him about your plans and schemes.

Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths questions.

a) £22×10 = 220 £22×2 = 44

£220+£44 = £264

b) £16.75×200 = £3,350   £16.75×50 = £837.50   £16.75×3 = £50.25

£3350+£837.50+£50.25=£4237.75

c) £0.80×20 =£16   £0.80×7 = £5.60

£16+£5.60 = £21.60

d)12,905 ants

e) 4,277 trees left

f) 3,325 miles to go

g) 4,001 fiction books

h) £731 left to save

i) 1,037 miles further

j)226,574 people more

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) 316,900 people live in Coventry. Warwick has a population of 81,971 and a further 49,500 live in Leamington Spa. How many people live in Coventry Warwick and Leamington Spa altogether?

b) 15,467 people went to Spain for their summer holiday on 12th August 2014. The following day 8,769 people travelled to Spain. How many more people went to Spain on the 12th

c) The diameter of Mars is 6,779 km and the diameter of Earth is 12,742 km. How much bigger than Mars is the Earth?

d) A mother frog laid 20,000 eggs. 1,543 failed to develop into tadpoles. Sadly 2,575 tadpoles were eaten by dragon flies and trout. Another 6,543 met their deaths in various ways over the next year. How many of the eggs grew up to be frogs?

e) I won £2,000,000 in the lottery. I bought a house for £455,500, I bought a Jaguar XK convertible for £103,500. I also went on a luxury cruise that cost  £13,900. How much money have I got left?

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.

R.E.

This week we have been looking at Jesus’ commandment to:

‘Love one another as I have loved you.’

Jesus showed his love for all of us on Good Friday when he died on the cross. Tomorrow we are going to celebrate the Feast of the Ascension. On this day, forty days after his resurrection on Easter Sunday, Jesus ascended into Heaven leaving the disciples behind to carry on with his work and to be witnesses for him.  They were a little scared to be left without Jesus but they believed in him and they knew that he would not leave them alone. They were quite right of course; the Holy Spirit came to help them on the Feast of Pentecost and we’ll explore that later.

Below you will see two very different video clips about the Ascension. Please watch both of them.

 

Now what I would like you to do is to draw or make your own reminder of what happened on the Feast of the Ascension.

You could think about making the figures of Jesus, his disciples and the two people dressed in white – you could even create your own video clip.

Or  you could draw them and write a sentence or a paragraph below; you might want to make a picture using other media – e.g. cotton wool for the clouds.

I have attached some ideas to help you below.

      

Whatever activity you choose to do, please email it to gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk  or, with an adult’s permission, upload it on to Twitter @St_BarbarasPS

 

Time to waken up and put your best foot forward!

We’re getting closer to Sports’ Day – so time for a little movement. There are two video clips to get you moving and some tasks below. Enjoy!

 

Now for those tasks:

Play some music lasting about ten/fifteen minutes and do these:

  • Jumping Jacks/Star Jumps
  • On the Spot running
  • Plank
  • Squats
  • Add your own and have fun!

Remember to have your water bottle handy and to take a few breaks!

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”

To avoid words ending in a ‘v’ or a ‘u’ a silent ‘e’ is often added.

Examples

true, blue, give, love

Make a list in your jotter of 10 other words where a silent ‘e’ is used to stop the word ending in a ‘v’ or ‘u’

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 tomorrow.

Oochigeas comprehension

Fuzz comprehension

Huberta comprehension

 

May is the month of Mary.

 

This week I want you to think about ways in which we can show good manners to the people that we are around every day. In your jotter write these headings and try to list some examples of good manners in each situation:

Good Manners in the House

  • Clean up after yourself
  • Say please and thank you

Good manners on the Computer

  • Clear your work from the home screen
  • Do not open other people’s files

Good manners at Mealtimes

  • Wash your hands before you come to eat
  • If you cannot reach something ask politely for it to be passed to you

 

 

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

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

You can email me any of your work at:

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.

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

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.

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.

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