Room 5 – May 25 th -29 th 2020 Hello everyone from Room 5– I hope that you are all having a good week so far and that you and your family are all safe and well .I’ve read all of your projects now and they are really wonderful . Well done Room 5 !!The range of topics are so wide and interesting - the standard is EXCELLENT ! Such a lot of hard work has clearly gone into each and every one of them – you should be very proud of your hard work . As I said don’t worry if you didn’t get to email yours – I’ll see it at another time .This week ,my two dogs Charlie and Sue and cat Lucky have been fun to watch in the garden – Charlie is a golden Labrador and Sue is a black West Highland Cross . Lucky has grey fur with large green eyes and she is definitely the boss – she often perches herself on a sunny window sill and watches the two dogs playing with the superiority only a cat can have ! You are all doing a great job at home helping out your families, I’ m quite sure , as you are always so helpful in school .I’m so looking forward to seeing you all as soon as we safely can.

1. MATHS 6 th Class We will look at CHANCE this week .

6 th Class Chapter 40 CHANCE Mathemagic 6 th p. 165

We use words such as possible, impossible,likely , unlikely certain and an even chance when we deal with Chance .P. 165 .Q 1 Read each statement and give reasons for i and ii Q 2 and 3 use the language of chance to answer these p. 166 Which of these statements would best match these words ?Now you will need two coins for the next question and try q 2-5p.167 Q1 Now most of us do not have a 6 dided dice but we can imagine for example 1 a the chances of throwing a 5 is 1 in 6 .

Q 2 You could make a coloured spinner if you like – you can do the experiment yourself and spin 30 times instaed of 10 and answer the questions .p.168 It doesn’t matter if you do not have a pack of cards – for this exercise we exclude the Jokers so there are 52 cards in a pack with four suits – hearts red , diamonds red , clubs black and spades black .Try q 1 but be careful in q 2 as the black twos are also taken out -there are now 50 cards not 52 cards for this question in a pack .P. 169 Try q2 and q 3 here also .

p.170 for this experiment you can use anything – scrunched up paper coloured 1 red ,3 yellow , 1 blue will do fine .Try q 1-5 – well done 6th class .
