Read the following passage carefully:

COMPREHENSION Sea Turtles

Sea turtles have been on earth for about one hundred and fifty million years. There are seven species of sea turtles that live in tropical and temperate seas throughout the world. Female sea turtles come ashore to dig a nest and lay their eggs. When hatchlings emerge from the nest they must make their way to the water and begin their life in the sea. Sea turtles spend most of their lives in the water and are strong swimmers and good divers. Some sea turtles eat plants, some eat meat and some eat plants and meat.

Now answer the following questions using complete sentences.

1.

As stated in the passage, how many types of sea turtles are there?

Punctuation

- The comma

The comma is used in sentences to make the meaning clear. It tells when to make a short pause while we are reading.

Here are three of the times when we use the comma: 1.

To separate three or more items in a list

For example: In the bag were some sugar, milk, jam and bread.

2.

To separate the date and the year.

For example: Barbados became independent on 30th November, 1966.

3.

To separate the parish and country or state and country.

For example: She lives in St. Philip, Barbados.

Now practice using the comma:

A. Give answers to the following. Remember to use commas.

1. Write your home address. ____________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Write your birth date. ____________________________________________________________________________________ B.

Place commas in the right places in the following sentences.

1. Mummy Daddy my sister and I went to Sheraton Mall.

2. His birthdate is on 25th December 2013.

3. I put my books eraser and pencils in my bag.

4. She lives in Howell’s Cross Road Ivy St. Michael.

5. Anya loves to eat chicken chips and pizza.

SUBTRACTING NUMBERS Subtracting is taking one item or number away from another.

This sign (-) is used to show subtract or take away.

Start with 8 apples, then subtract or take away 3 apples.

There are left 5 apples left.

This can be written as 8 – 3 = 5 8 take away 3 leaves 5 3 from 8 leaves 5 You get good at subtraction with practice. So go to this site and practice some more. Have fun!!! http://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/math-trainer-subtract.html SUBTRACTING TENS AND ONES When subtracting or taking away one number from another, remember to place the digits in their correct column or place, and then subtract, column by column. Begin at the right (the ones column) and move to the left.

For example : 58 - 24

Here are two other special rules used in Mathematics:

A. When 0 is subtracted or taken from any number, the number does not change.

Without doing any working write the answer for each of the following: 1)

10 – 0 = ________

2) 27 – 27 = ________ 3)

64 – 0 = ________

4)

20 – 20 = __________

5)

16 – 0 = __________

6) 13 – 13 = _________

Exchanging Tens For Ones Sometimes in subtracting, we must break a ten-block into ten little cubes. This is also called “regrouping”, because one ten ‘changes groups’, from the tens column into the ones column.

COMPREHENSION

The Snow-cone Man The snow-cone man is passing down the street, He’s selling something that’s so very sweet, He stands at the cart ready with his scoop to dip, And awaits the dry throat or the parched lip.

It’s when the weather is very hot and sunny, You’d love the taste of this cool drink of honey.

The crushed ice in a little plastic cup With coloured syrup poured in on the top.

A tastier drink you’d very rarely find, And it’s important that I do remind, The snow-cone vendor plying his daily trade, Is an important worker who deserves our aid.

VERBS- Identifying verbs Every sentence needs a verb to make complete sense.

Read the following group of words: Jane the flowers.

(These words do not make sense.) Now, read the statement below:

Now, read the statement below:

Jane picks the flowers.

In this statement, we see a relationship between Jane and the flowers. She does something to them, she picks them.

The word picks tells the action Jane performs on the flowers or what she does to them. The word picks is a verb.

A word which shows an action is called a verb. It is sometimes called a doing word.

All verbs are not action words. There are some called helping verbs and others called linking verbs. o Helping verbs are also called auxiliary verbs.

For example: NATION WORKBOOK

Jane is picking the flowers.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2021.

In the sentence above, the verb is made up of two words – the helping verb is and the main verb picking. The verb is helps to complete the main verb. is picking helping Some other auxiliary verbs are were talking

main

has been given

are going

will be eating

o Linking verbs link or connect the subject further information about that subject.

They do not show an action.

Words such as am, is, are, was, were are all linking verbs.

The verbs appear, become, feel, look and seem are sometimes used as linking verbs.

For example: The mango is ripe.

The word is does not show any action; it links the word ‘ripe’ to the subject mango.

Underline the verbs in the following sentences.

2.

1. The light is very bright.

The children are playing rounders.

3. Daddy sold his old car.

4.

Rounding Numbers To The Nearest 100 Let’s look at rounding numbers to the nearest hundred (100).

Example 1: There were 375 persons attending a concert.

Round this number to the nearest hundred.

Notice 375 is closer to 400. 375 is therefore rounded up to 400.

Example 2: Round 245 to the nearest hundred.

Step 1: Underline the digit in the place to which you are rounding. 245 Step 2: Look at the digit to the right of that place. 245

Step 3: If the digit is 5 or greater than 5, round upwards by adding 1 to the hundreds digit and placing zeros in the ones

and tens places. 245 (the digit 4 is smaller than 5).

Step 4: If it is less than 5 you leave the hundreds digit as is but place zeros in the ones and tens places. (200) Round the following to the nearest 10

COMPREHENSION

Read the following passage carefully.

Remember to read the passage more than once. To help to improve your vocabulary awareness and improve your comprehension, underline unfamiliar words in the passage, make a list of them and note their meanings in your book.

Here are some words from the passage below. exerted

ferocious

generous

carnivores

belief

prey

Read the passage again.

Have you ever been bitten by someone? I am sure that you will agree that a bite can be very painful. Scientists have made an instrument (a bite force transducer) to measure the power of a bite. The transducer measures the amount of pounds per square inch (psi) exerted when a bite is made. To help you understand, consider a human biting into a piece of steak. He will use between 150/200 psi.

The most ferocious dogs have a bite force of about 600 psi. Lions and tigers generate about 1000psi. Their bite force is expectedly high since these carnivores use their powerful bites to rip prey apart.

For many years the world thought that the most powerful bite force came from the Great White Shark. This belief was proven wrong, when bite tests were carried out using the force transducer. The shark exerted a bite force up to 1 000

psi. However, the crocodile’s bite force was at a stunning 5 000 psi. Scientists explain that sharks have razor sharp teeth and hence their bite force will not be as powerful as crocodile since they will be able to rip through flesh easily.

Next time you visit the zoo, or see a crocodile, keep your distance. If your hand or foot gets in his mouth, it will be impossible to open his mouth to get it out. Remember his bite is almost ten times more powerful than the most ferocious pit bull.

THE CONTINUOUS TENSES

When we want to show a continuing action, we use the continuous tense of the verb. This form is also referred to as the Progressive form.

This tense gives the idea that the action is occurring at a particular time. The action can a. start before another action. b. be in progress during another action. c. continue after another action or time.

The continuous form of the verb is used when referring to an action happening over a period of time and which is incomplete in some way.

The continuous or progressive form of the verb uses the present participle form of the verb, that is, the form of the verb which ends with -ing.

The progressive form of the verb includes the 1. present continuous

2. past continuous

3. future continuous

The Present Continuous Tense

Events which are actually happening now are referred to in the present continuous tense. This tense is formed by using the present tense of the verb to be (am, is, are) and the present participle of the main verb.

NATION WORKBOOK

19

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2021.

For example:

I am eating

He is eating

We are eating

The present continuous tense is usually used with action words and stating verbs.

This tense is also used to talk about the future when the situation is planned or intended. In this case the sentence will always have words which refer to the future.

For example: They are returning tomorrow.

Complete these sentences by inserting the present continuous tense of the verb given.

1. (eat)

She is____________________ a golden apple.

2. (wear) The boys ____________________ colourful masks.

3. (fly)

The flag _________happily_____________ in the strong wind.

4. (ride) Look! Those competitors______________________ through the muddy water.

5. (destroy)

________those monkeys ______________ the crops?

6. (save ) I _______________________ my money to buy a new computer.

7. (compete) My brother and I ________________________ in the marathon.

8. ( cut ) Why ___________ you __________________ the baby’s hair?

9.

( refuse ) Why ______ some Covid-positive Barbadians ________________treatment?

10. ( begin)

My friend

__________________________ a new job next week.

The Past Continuous Tense

The past continuous tense is used to refer to an uninterrupted past action over a period of time. It is formed by using the past tense of the verb to be (was, were) and the present participle of the main verb.

For example:

She was cleaning the shoes.

The men were collecting the garbage.

Use the past continuous tense of the verb to complete each sentence.

1. The residents of Haiti _______________________ for help. (appeal) 2. She ___________________(open) the rooms as they ______________________(arrive).

3. I thought Arjen and Aria ______________________ to my party. (come) 4. The vehicles ___________________ at a high speed when they collided. (travel ) 5. A large dog _________________________ my neighbour’s cat. ( pursue) 6. I noticed that some patrons _________ not ________________ their hands. (sanitize ) NATION WORKBOOK

20

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2021.

7. The dentist ________carefully _____________the tooth of the patient. ( examine ) 8. Many people ________________________ not to be vaccinated. ( choose ) The Future Continuous Tense

The future continuous tense is used when referring to actions which will be happening at a particular time or over a

particular time in the future. This tense is formed by using the future tense of the verb to be (will be or shall be) with the present participle of the main verb.

For example: This afternoon he will be completing his drawing.

In each of the sentences below, insert the future continuous tense of the verb given.

1. ( apply)

All of them __________________________ for club membership.

2. ( have)

My family ____________________ a movie night this weekend.

3. (paint)

He _____________________ his room in vibrant colours.

4. (burst)

PUNCTUATION (contd)

The Colon

Here are some ways in which the colon is used : (a) to introduce a list NATION WORKBOOK

21

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2021.

Example – Please buy the following fruits: apples, cherries, grapes, oranges and peaches. (b) to separate hours and minutes when expressing time using the 24-hr clock.

Example (c)

06:20 hrs

23:16 hrs

to separate the chapter and the verse numbers in any reference to religious scripture Example - St. Mathew 4:1- 6

(d)

in Mathematics to denote a ratio or scale Example - 6:5 (six to five)

(e)

to show actions where unmarked text is assumed to be dialogue.

Example - Nakayla : Are you going to school today?

The Semi-colon

Jainisha : Indeed not ! Haven’t you heard that our school was damaged by

Tomas?

The semi-colon is used (a) where a conjunction has been left out.
