COMPREHENSION

Read the following poem carefully and then answer the questions which follow.

The First Day Of School

1. I start this new term with thoughts

4. What will the mood be in my classroom?

Of many unknown things to come;

I guess I’ll have to wait a while.

There is the feeling of excitement

Will my teacher be tall and kind,

Mixed with fearful thoughts - and some.

2. I got no brand new lunchbox

Will she, or he, have a great big smile?

5. But once again school will be at home,

My shoes – I do not have to clean

Where my bed and refrigerator often call;

No new books nor book-bag,

So many things there to distract me -

And no pencil case that’s green

3. I wonder about my new teacher,

I know I must focus and try to stand tall.

I wonder where my desk will be.

6. I must still rise early in the morning

I wonder about my classmates,

And prepare all my in-class tools

Because whether online or face-to-face I am ready for back to school!

I wonder if they will play with me.

1. What colour pencil case do you think the writer wanted?

Read the following passage carefully: Stephan is a nine-year-old Barbadian boy living in his homeland. He is an excellent student who loves school. It is the beginning of a new school year and Stephan was looking forward to seeing his friends and finding out who his new class teacher would be. He is disappointed.

He anticipated joining his friends to have fun on the field even though they would be masked. But to his dismay it is online school again – being taught over the internet, doing assignments on his laptop and submitting them to his teacher via the same.

Stephan’s mother, Mrs King, made sure that he had his books and pencil at the little desk which his carpenter father made for him to work from. She made sure that he had eaten his breakfast, his hair was combed and he was dressed appropriately. The Principal, Mrs. Benn, had sent an email informing the parents that although the children didn’t have to wear their school uniform they were to be well groomed. He felt anxious. He opened his laptop and, under the supervision of his dad, logged on to the site, Google Classroom. When he entered the “classroom”, he realized that some of his friends were already there. They greeted each other and laughed at their appearance and talked about what they did during the summer holiday. At least they were able to see each other online. Then the teacher appeared and there was silence. He was known as the strictest teacher in the school.

Answer the following questions correctly. Use complete sentences.

1. How old is Stephan? __________________________________________________________________ 2. In which country does he live? ____________________________________________________________ 3. At the beginning of the story, does Stephan know who his class teacher will be? Give a reason for your answer. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 4.

Every digit in a number has a face value, a place value and a numerical value.

Face Value is what you see when you look at the digit. It is the name of the digit.

Place Value is the name of the column in which the digit is placed.

Numerical Value is sometimes just referred to as Value.

It is how much the digit is worth.

For example

Numerical Value may be calculated as Face Value x Place Value)

In the number 364 529

The face value of a digit is the digit itself. The face value of a digit is unchangeable and definite. However, the place value and total value change according to the position of the digit.
