Dear parents,Please find attached this week’s work for the week April 27th to April 30th. As the school was due to be closed on Friday 1st May due to the May bank holiday weekend, the work is only for four days this week.

I would again just like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support during this difficult period. I really appreciate the efforts made in terms of supporting the children’s learning at home, engaging with the work sent home and the continued uploading of children’s completed work.

Again please feel free to contact me with any queries you or the children may have. I have once again attached the answers for Irish, English and Maths from last week. Some may already have received these answers daily last week. Please ask the children to self-correct their work once again.

Finally, I would just like to say if any parents or child are feeling overwhelmed while engaging with the school work at home, please remember that doing a little bit each day will still greatly benefit your child. If you do not get all the work completed every day then I totally understand. The work laid out each week is a guide for the children to follow but it is not there to put them under additional pressure at what is already a difficult time. Each child works at a different pace and I am fully aware of this.

Could you please share the following link with your children as this week I have sent them a video message. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B64OGlWoOFw&t=2s

Many thanksJoe Mooney

5th and 6th Class,

We had a celebrity write to us this week. I have attached his letter on the next page.

Well done on the terrific letters you wrote to Ryan Tubridy. Sounds like he was very impressed with both your letters and thoughtfulness.

Monday 27 th April: Maths:We are moving on to ‘Rules and Properties’ this week – its Chapter 29 (P.151) Sixth Class and its Chapter 31 (P.166) Fifth Class in your Busy @ maths book.Please ensure all work has a heading, date and each question is given the correct number/letter in your copy.

6th ClassPage 151 – PatternThe Italian mathematician Fibonacci wrote a now famous number sequence. The rule is that each number is equal to the sum of the preceding two numbers. He always uses the first number twice. Preceding - coming before something in order, position, or time. Therefore the next number must be equal to the previous two numbers added together. Based on this rule, please complete Q1 and Q2 in your copy.You can skip Q3 and Q4.

Page 152 – Fun with patternKaprekar number When a number is squared (multiplied by itself), if the answer can be split into two long parts that add up to the original number again, it is a Kaprekar number. Examples:9² = 81 and 8 + 1 = 9 (which is the original number that was squared)45² = 2025 and 20 + 25 = 45 (which was the original number that was squared)999² = 998,001 and 998 + 1 = 999 (which was the original number squared)2728² = 7,441,984 and 744 + 1,984 = 2728

However some numbers are not50² = 2,500 I cannot break up 2,500 into two parts so that they add up to 50.

Based on the above, use a calculator and have some fun trying to figure if the number in Q1 are Kaprekar numbers. Note a) and b) are already above, so complete c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j.

You can skip Question 2 on page 152.Complete QS 3, 4, 5, 6 you are just completing the sequence each time.

5th ClassPage 166 – Rules and properties Please read the following RULE:When calculating an equation with more than one different operation it is important that we do the operations in the same correct order. If you do not do the operations in the correct order you will get a different answer. Here is the order of operations we must follow: Brackets, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction( ) first, x and ÷ next, finally + and -

Here is an easy way to remember the order of operations.Use the BOMDAS rule to remember the order of operations. Brackets first BOf OMultiplication and Division MDAddition and Subtraction AS

What about this rule to remember BOMDAS“Boats Often May Drift At Sea”

Please complete Q 1 a, b, c, d Each question has 3 parts i, ii, iii.

Now try Q2.

When x and ÷ are in the same number sequence (equation), start with the one that appears first (on the left) and continue as we do when reading a word sentence. Example: 54 ÷ 6 x 8

(54 ÷ 6) x 8Now have a go at Q3. Only do the first two columns (a, d, g, j, m) and (b, e, h, k, n)

SESE:World Earth Day was on Wednesday 22nd of April. Our Earth is having a rest at the moment from pollution. Can you think of reasons why this is happening?The first Earth Day in 1970 mobilized millions of Americans for the protection of the planet. On April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans — 10% of the U.S. population at the time — took to the streets, college campuses and hundreds of cities to protest environmental ignorance and demand a new way forward for our planet. The first Earth Day is credited with launching the modern environmental movement and is now recognized as the planet’s largest civic event (civic - relating to the duties or activities of people in relation to their town, city, or local area).

https://www.earthday.org/about/the-history-of-earth-day/

Earth Day led to passage of landmark environmental laws in the United States, including the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species Acts. Many countries soon adopted similar laws, and in 2016, the United Nations chose Earth Day as the day to sign the Paris Climate Agreement into force.The Paris Agreement is a pact within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) between 197 countries that focuses widely on reducing greenhouse gases emissions, adapting to the impacts of climate change, and to provide financial assistance to developing countries affected by a changing climate.

For this week, take the time to notice your surroundings in nature and keep a record of the following changes in your garden or out your window. You draw a grid like this in a copy or on a page and keep a record of your sightings.

Tuesday 28 th April: Maths:Please ensure all work has a heading, date and each question is given the correct number/letter in your copy.

6th ClassPage 153 – Sequences

Read the example at the top of page 153. It shows the way a sequence can be plus + or minus –

In a sequence you need to carefully study whether the next number is getting bigger or smaller and by how much.

With this in my mind please complete Q1.

It is the same when looking at a sequence with decimals. Please do not let the decimals put you off. It is still a case of working out whether the number is increasing or decreasing and by how much.

Please complete Q2

You may check your answers with a calculator.

When looking at fraction sequences, make sure you study the pattern on top and the pattern on the bottom. Complete Q3 in your copy.

Q4 is a little more challenging as you need to fill in the missing numbers to complete the sequences. You may need to look at two numbers already in the sequence and work out what is happening.

Examples:

a) 21, 27, 33, ___. 45, ___, 57.I can see the difference between 27 and 21 is 6 and the difference between 33 and 27 is also 6 and the numbers are getting bigger in the sequence so I must add. 21, 27, 33, 39, 45, 51, 57.

b) ____, 44, ____, _____, 56, 60, 64.This time is need to look at the last 3 digits. It shows an increase of 4. The sequence is going up in 4’s.40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64.

c) ____, ____, 42, 48, 54, ___, 66.Here I will look at the 3 middle digits. I can see it is increasing by 6 each time. 32, 38, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66

Now you have a go at the rest of Q4.

Have a go at the Challenge at the end of page 153. Three more difficult sequences to challenge you!

The Holy Spirit

Can you remember anything about the Holy Spirit? How would you describe or explain the Holy Spirit who has never heard of it before?

While we cannot touch or see the Holy Spirit, we can feel and experience the Holy Spirit in our lives and in the lives of others. We can also learn from the Holy Spirit from the life of Jesus.

In your own mind or with conversation with your family, think about:

Things that Jesus did with the help of the Holy Spirit, for example, forgiving sins, healing others, telling the Good News.

On a page or copy, describe someone you know who does great things like Jesus did when he was filled with the Holy Spirit. Include a drawing of this person.

Try allowing the Holy Spirit into your life this week and see if any changes happen.

Wednesday 29 th April: Maths:Please ensure all work has a heading, date and each question is given the correct number/letter in your copy.

6th Class4 – Order of operationsWhen adding 3 or more numbers the order of addition doesn’t matter.Have a go at Q1 – Addition of 3 numbers.

When adding and subtracting, I always do the addition first. 18 – 24 + 19 = ___

18 + 19 – 2437 – 24 = 13

I always bring the number with the minus sign to the end. Complete Q2 by rewriting the sum and putting the minus sign at the end of the sum.

When you have multiplication with addition or subtraction it matters which you do first as it will lead to two different answers. Example: 8 x 6 + 2 Option 1: I do my multiplication first. 8 x 6 = 48

48 + 2 = 50

Option 2: I do my addition first. 6 + 2 = 88 x 8 = 64

You can see here how you have two different answers so which is correct?Option 1 is correct as you must do the multiplication before addition or subtraction. Please complete Q3. Remember to do the multiplication first.

Finally for today let’s look at Q4. Find: 4 of 30 5Divide by the bottom, 30 ÷ 5 = 6Multiply by the top, 6 x 4 = 24

When asked to find a fraction of a number, I multiply the fraction by the number because it really means multiply. Find: 4 of 30 5

4 X 30 6 = 24 1 5 1

Complete Q4

5th Class8 – Rules and properties – patternQ.1 Examine the patterns. Draw the next two terms for each. Q.2Q.3 When filling in the missing term – examine if the sequence is increasing or decreasing and by how much. You need to look at two numbers which are already filled in in order to fill in the blanks. Example:

a) 17, ___, 31, 38, ___, 52Look at 31 and 38, there is an increase of 7 so we can increase each number by 7 to fill in the blanks.

17, 24, 31, 38, 45, 52.

b) 45, ___, 69, ___, ___, 105Here there is no two numbers to compare. So find the difference between 45 and 69 and then half it. 69 – 45 = 24 24 ÷ 2 = 12 (add 12 to fill in the blanks)

45, 57, 69, 81, 93, 105

Now you have a go at c, d, e, f, g, h.Tip for h:What is the difference between 7 ¾ and 7 ½ That would be ¼ so count on ¼ to fill in the blanks. The numbers already filled in are reducing so the missing numbers must be bigger.

Look at the patterns in Q4. Now have a go at Q.5 and Q.6. You may use a calculator.

For Q5 you are creating a pattern.Example:

a) 5 x 5 = 20 + 5b) 15 x 15 = 200 + 25

Medieval Times

What was a knight’s job?

In medieval times, it was a knight’s job to protect their lord or king, and they would often have to go into battle to do so. Knights used weapons such as swords, daggers, longbows and arrows.What did they wear?

To make sure they didn’t get badly hurt when fighting, a knight would have always worn a suit of armour. They had a helmet to protect their head and would have also worn a chainmail tunic. If the armour wasn’t made very well, an arrow or sword could get through a chink in the chainmail and, well, that would have hurt. A lot! A Knights armour was extremely heavy, about the same as 5 sacks of potatoes, so they would often need their page or squire to help them onto their horse. The knight was so covered up in the armour that no one would be able to recognise them. They needed to be identifiable on the battlefield and in tournaments, so they would carry a shield that had their coat of arms on it.How did a knight get to be a knight?

In order to become a knight, you would have to spend about 14 years training. Children left their families at the young age of seven to live with a knight and be educated by them. In the middle ages, knights were usually boys.Facts about knightsThese little boys, usually from a wealthy household, were called pages. In the beginning of his training the page had to be the knight’s servant - serving his meals, cleaning his clothes and learning good manners. The page would also start to learn how to fight with wooden weapons, and to ride a horse. If you were a good page and trained well, at around age 14 you became a squire and began to assist the Knight in other ways e.g. help him put on his armour, clean his weapons, care for his horse and even accompany the knight into battle. The squire would also get a good education in music, dance, reading, writing and languages. If you performed well as a squire, at age 21, you were dubbed a knight. Here’s a funny video about “The Life of a Page”: (You might need an adult to help find this online) “A Day In The Life... Of A 10-Year-Old In Norman Times - Hands on History – BBC” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVMvl05hCrI

D’éirigh Oisín inné, Oisín got up yesterday.

D’ith sé arán, He ate bread.

Thug sé póg do Mham, He gave a kiss to his mam.

Agus dúirt sé ‘Slán!’ And he said ‘goodbye!’

Chuaigh sé ar scoil, He went to school.

Chonaic sé na páistí, He saw the children.

Rinne sé obair, He did work.

Agus d’ith sé oráistí. And he ate oranges.

Ag am lón, At lunchtime,

Bhí cluichí ar siúl, There were games going

on.

Rug sé an liathróid He grabbed the ball

Agus fuair sé cúl. And he got a goal.

Chuala sé an cloigín He heard the bell

Ag bualadh ar a trí, Ringing at three,

Tháinig sé abhaile, He came home,

Agus chuaigh sé a luí. And went to sleep.
