Hi Everyone,
Technology and Engineering today and Ms E. Kavanagh and Ms Rowsome have posted some very interesting activities for you to try – Lego based activities, Pyramid Catapult and lots of other suggestions on related websites. Check out main page on school website.
Last reminder regarding Zoom Graduation this evening at 7pm.
See you all later,
Mrs Brazil

Good morning Everyone,
This is our last week of school before the summer holidays and it is S.T.E.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) Week.
Ms Rowsome and Ms E. Kavanagh have posted lots of activities based on chemical reactions using materials that most of may have in your homes.
From Making Volcanoes and Making Vinegar Popsicles (yeuck) to Making Rain and Clouds. As the weather is not so good today, it is the ideal day to try out some of these activities.
I hope that you enjoy carrying out these experiments and learn a little too!
Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow evening,
Mrs Brazil

Happy Friday Everyone,
Today Ms Kavanagh and Ms Waters have posted lots of ideas for a Sports Day at Home. It looks like the rain will disappear so we might be able to complete most of the activities. I think that I am going to give Zumba another go today and of course I’ll head off for a walk too.
Well, I found out what ‘mountain climbers’ are and I’m a failure, couldn’t do it! My left arm was too weak to support me (remember I broke my wrist and it’s not strong enough yet), maybe by the end of the summer I’ll be able to do a few!!!
The Mindfulness Activity suggested is just perfect for a Friday Night so tidy up the Sitting Room and prepare a nice space, prepare some nice treats, – maybe offer to babysit younger brothers and sisters for parents??
Reminder
Keep Tuesday Night Free for our
Class of 2020 Zoom Graduation
at 7pm
Details to follow
Have a lovely weekend, will be in touch next week.

Good Morning Everyone,
How are you coping with all the activities??? Today Ms Kavanagh has posted information on Water Safety which we had already covered as part of SPHE/PE on our class page but as it’s an important topic and very important that you keep safe wherever you are , do take another look through the material.
I have to admit that I have not got a clue what ‘mountain climbers’ are( see how much I miss you all) and I’ll have to do a bit of research before I do this activity but I’m sure that you all know so good luck with it.
Keep walking ( at least I’m good at that!) and most importantly today is the last ever Urban Gym Session for Bunscoil Rís so do take part and message them. It was wonderful to have access to their expertise to help us to keep fit and to take our mind off other not so pleasant things happening around us.
TRANSITION TO SECONDARY SCHOOL
Getting organised and having a place where we can do our homework is important for Secondary School. Some schools have after school study time and some students prefer to do their homework after school and then come home and relax. Others like to take a break, and do their work later. Everyone has their own way of working so for today, take a look at the attached pages, hopefully you will find the tips helpful. Organising Books and Homework Tips
I’m off to find out what ‘mountain climbers’ are,
Mrs Brazil

Hi All,
Day 3 of Active Schools Week and I’m feeling fitter already!! Today the activities are all centered around GAA games Hurling and Football but I’m sure that some of the challenges can apply to soccer. You don’t have to play GAA to try them out. Magic word for today is Sunshine (I hope we get some) and I’m afraid that I’ll have to pass on the burpees but I know that you can do them! Remember to keep up the walking and send in distance walked to Ms Kavanagh or to me on classdojo and I will send it on to her.
Lastly, our mindfulness challenge for today is to do something that you enjoy and to just focus on that not allowing other distractions.
More details on all of the above activities and message form Ms Kavanagh on main page of School Website.
Transition to Secondary School.Timetables
Timetables – timetables are very important in Secondary School. In first year you will have a lot of subjects, maybe as many as 12 or 13. You will not have lessons in each subject everyday so a timetable is necessary. Each day /evening you will need to check your timetable to make sure that you have all work completed for the subjects you are having the next day and to pack your back with what you need. During the day you may also need to check timetable to know what and where your next class is. Don’t worry you will soon get used to it as you get to know your school. Take a look at the attached Timetables and this will give you some idea of what your Timetable will look like. Note the tips on colour coding different subjects to help you to find each subject quickly. Hope that you find this helpful.
Until tomorrow,
Mrs Brazil

Good Morning All,
I hope that you are all well and looking forward to this weeks activities. This week is Active Week and Mindfulness Week and Ms Kavanagh and Ms Waters have posted some exciting activities to help us to shake off that Monday morning feeling!
Today we begin the walking challenge and try to walk at least 1km, many of you will be used to doing more than 1 km and for some it will encourage us to start walking. Remember to send in distance walked to Ms Kavanagh/Waters on facebook as requested so that we can complete the ‘Walk Around Ireland ‘ challenge for this week.
Ms Kavanagh and Ms Waters have also posted some links for Zumba activities – so dance like there’s no one watching!! I bet that it’s impossible to complete one of these sessions without smiling.
To complete the day or maybe even to begin it, whenever you choose, they have posted a very simple mindfulness activity.
NEXT STEPS Next Steps page 14, 15
Today in Next Steps we are thinking about Resilience and Wellness. Resilience means the ability to bounce back from a difficult situation so we know that we all have had to be resilient recently. We also need to think about what Wellness means to us and how we can try to look after ourselves and keep well mentally and physically.
On the final page (page 15) we are looking forward to next September and making new friends, think about what characteristics you look for in a friend.
Enjoy today’s activities and I’ll be in touch tomorrow.
Mrs Brazil

Happy Friday Everyone!
Today is our last day of Art/Craft/Baking challenges and Ms Foskin has posted some fantastic suggestions for Friday Treats. Friday Night is always treat night in my house (as you know), so hopefully you will try out some of Ms Foskin’s suggestions for treats for yourself and family this evening.
A BIG THANK YOU TO MS FOSKIN for a week of enjoyable activities.
Next Steps Next Steps page 12,13
In Next Steps today we are asked to consider some School Rules that you may have to follow in Secondary School, what do you think might happen if you break these rules??
Page 13 focuses on Decision Making – making choices and realising that each decision has consequences. We all make mistakes, the thing is to learn from them, we all have to adapt to new situations. You will have lots of decisions to make in Secondary School, new subjects, friends, behaviour etc. Read page 13 and consider what influences your decision making.
Have a lovely weekend, I will be in touch next Monday.
Mrs Brazil

Thursday, 11th June, 2020
Good Morning Everyone,
Today it’s Pizza Time!. Ms Foskin has gone Pizza Crazy and all today’s activities are based on creating / making / cooking pizza! I’m feeling hungry just thinking about it. I’m sure that everyone in the family would love a nice tasty pizza for lunch today especially if it’s made by you!
Best of Luck and Bon Apetit!
NEXT STEPS Next Steps page 10,11
Our first topic for discussion in Next Steps today is – Getting Organised. Many of you will already have a good routine for getting ready for school-, however it’s gets a little more complicated when you are in Secondary School. In Next Steps Booklet (page 10) we can see 12 things that we need to do to be ready for school each day. Some things, like homework we do the night before other things, like breakfast we do in the morning before we set off for school. Think about the list, maybe there is something you would like to add, the most important thing is to plan your time and this will help things to go smoothly plus you will also feel better- less stress.
On page 11 the Topic for discussion is School Rules, you are all mature enough to know that when there are large groups of people going about their daily business (teaching and learning) we sometimes need rules to keep everyone safe and to make sure that everyone has as safe and as pleasant an experience as possible . Education is a Right.
Think about School Rules – why do we need them?
Enjoy the pizzas!
Until tomorrow,
Mrs Brazil

Good Morning All,
Just a reminder about Art/Craft/ Baking Activities for today- Today’s challenge is based on using stones to create Art and Ms Foskin has posted lots of ideas to help stimulate your creativity. She has also included a recipe for Rock Buns which would be a lovely treat for the family!
NEXT STEPS
Today we are thinking about possible problems or situations we might find ourselves in, in Secondary School and what we can do. It’s a good idea to read through each of the ‘thought bubbles’ on pg. 8, 9 in booklet and come up with possible solutions. Have a chat with your parents they might have helpful suggestions.Next Steps page 8,9
Enjoy today’s challenge,
Mrs Brazil
________________________________________________________________
Tuesday, 9th June, 2020
Good Morning Everyone,
Hope all is going well with Art/Craft/ Baking activities posted by Ms Foskin and Ms King.
Today’s challenge is getting creative with fruit and vegetables and they have posted lots of great images to inspire you!
Looking at the today’s activities reminded me of the weird and wonderful work of a famous 16th century painter called Giuseppe Arcimboldo. The painting on the right is a portrait of an Emperor and is created out of plants – flowers, fruit, vegetables from all seasons – how many can you identify?
They do look at bit weird don’t they but look closely and admire the detail in the drawing and the colours in the paintings. Perhaps you’d like to create your own version of this type of painting?? If you do send it and any of you work to me on class dojo.
NEXT STEPS Next Step page 6,7
Today in your Next Steps booklet we take a look at pg. 6 and 7. Here I’d like you to think about and maybe chat to your parents about what you are not so sure about when you think of Secondary School – this may help you to note the questions you want to ask when you meet your teachers in your new Secondary School. On pg. 7 take the time to think about and discuss your Expectations – what you think it will be like, do you expect to meet new people, to take on new subjects? How do you feel about that? Are you looking forward to learning new things meeting new people, changing classes every 40 mins, or are you nervous? Again have a chat with Parents, I can guarantee you that all feelings are normal, we all feel the same way when faced with change or a new challenge – a mixture of fear and excitement!
Have a good day and I’ll be in touch tomorrow.
Mrs Brazil

NEXT STEPS
You all received ‘Next Steps Programme’ booklets in the post. As we are unable to discuss content of booklet with you in school. I would like you to take a look at the pages attached each day, think about what you read and discuss with your parents. The first page encourages us to think about how we feel when we are anxious and worried about something. It’s only natural to be a little anxious about something new, and in this case it’s making a new start in a new school. The second page is about Hope – your hopes and expectations of what your time in your new school will be like.
Make some notes in your booklet – it’s yours, it’s private and it may help to share your thoughts with parents. Next Steps
June Activities
I will post the next 2 pages for you tomorrow, remember to check out June Activities for this week posted on the main Bunscoil Rís website page.

Reading- Poetry
The Road not Taken by Robert Frost
Questions
1. What images does the poem create in your mind? A young man walking in a wood, stopping where the road divides into two paths and deciding which road he will take.
2. Is the poem written in the past present or future? Why do you think this? I think that it is written in the future because at the end of the poem the poet tells us that he took the road ‘less traveled by and that has made all the difference’. This means that he is writing the poem in the future when he knows how his life has turned out. What do you think?
3. What do you think the word diverged means? Look it up in your dictionary – to separate from another route and go in a different direction
4. What choice does the poet make? He took the ‘other as just as fair- because it was grassy and wanted wear.
5. What decision did the poet make and why? He took the roaI less traveled because he thought he would lead a different life by making that choice
6. Do you think that the poet will ever get a chance to travel the other path?In don’t think so because as the poet says ‘ knowing how way leads onto way I doubted if i should ever come back.’

Our School Tour was to take place on June 12th and we were going to go to the Outdoor and Adventure Centre in Tagoat, Wexford – we were booked in to try Kayaking, Battlezone Archery , Team Challenges. We were also supposed to call into Super Macs on the way home! On this page write about why the tour did not take place and how you feel about that. Maybe write about what you were looking forward to – being with friends, bus journey, activities.I know that this is not a very nice task but your Confirmation Book is a keepsake and will be a reminder of what life was like in June, 2020 – Do your best and remember to colour in all pictures.

Number Theory
We begin a new topic in Maths this week. Today we take a look at Multiples and Common Factors.
Factors are whole numbers which are multiplied to get a product (answer when multiplied)
Factor x factor = product 3 x 4 = 12
A Multiple is the result when 2 numbers are multiplied – we can also say a multiple is the product of two or more factors
If we look at factors of 24 – 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 now the factors of 12 –1, 2,3,4,6,12, Now we can see the common factors which are underlined. We can also see the Highest Common Factor (HCF)
With Multiples – just count up in that number – Multiples of 5 are 5,10,15,20,25 and so on.
Complete Qs 1-4 on the page attached Number Theory Multiples & Common Factors Tuesday
*** Mathletics – I have selected Number Theory on Mathletics to match up with our work in Maths – Try to work your way through each of the activities throughout the week – Begin with Factors , Multiples
*** Ms Tobin is also including Maths on her page for anyone who would like to do them.
Tables – Revision Division ÷ 9, ÷12 – Use Hit the Button, Practise counting forwards and backwards in 9s and 12s.
SESE – SCIENCE
Our topics for this week are Light and The Eye .

Don’t worry we all feel a little bit like this guy on Monday! However we can get out and about a little more.

Today I’d like you to go to the page entitled ‘What Being Confirmed Means to Me’. I would like to to think about what being confirmed means to you and your family.
Some thoughts which may be of help –
Being Confirmed helps me to learn more about my faith.
Being Confirmed helps me to develop a friendship with God.
Being Confirmed gives me an opportunity to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit – Wisdom, Understanding, Right Judgement, Courage, Knowledge, Reverence, Wonder and Awe in God’s presence. These Gifts will help me live as God wants me to.
After being Confirmed and having received the Gifts of the Holy Spirit then I will show the Fruits of the Holy Spirit in how I live my life – I will show Love, Kindness, Gentleness, Joy, Peace, Patience, Faithfulness and Self Control
Being Confirmed means that I get to celebrate with my Family – (It may mean that Grandparents , Aunties and Uncles, cousins and friends come to visit, describe how you plan to spend the day, etc.)
That’s the lot for today.
Keep up the good work.
Mrs Brazil

No prizes for guessing that I love Fridays! It’s so hard to believe that we have completed another week. I know that it can be difficult to stay engaged with school work after being away from our classroom for so long now. Try your best to keep up the work for this last few weeks and focus on the positives – the lovely weather, the annoying brother or sister, Mam or Dad who also can be a little annoying (sorry parents) but they love you! Try to think of Reasons to be Cheerful when you are feeling a little ‘fed-up’ with it all.

Please add the following : Fruits of The Holy Spirit are- Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness, Faithfulness, Self-Control. Try to memorise this list and colour any images on page.
ART
I’m very conscious when giving Art activities that not all of you have the same Art supplies that we have in school so I have chosen an activity today that uses items that most of us may be able to lay our hands on.
Foil Embossing: Tin foil and Sharpies (Try other Markers here if you have any)
You will need:
cereal boxes,
aluminum foil, tin foil
yarn,/string
white glue,
coloured Sharpies.
Samples
How to ..
Cut out a piece of card from a cereal box.
Draw a basic design
Use wool/string ( thick if you have it)
Cut a piece of tinfoil bigger than your piece of card – about 6cm of an edge which we can fold to back of card. do not glue this yet.
Then put the foil over the top and beginning at the centre gently rubbing in the foil around the wool/string. Take your time here, if you are careful your design will be nice a clear.
Once you have finished pressing in the foil, glue the foil at the back.
Then colour in your design in the colours of your choice – Do not colour the raised parts where the wool or yarn is. Best of luck!
Send in some images of your work.
Have a lovely weekend and stay safe and well.
Mrs Brazil

Activity A – Answers
1. The king banished all the old people from the kingdom because he thought old people were useless and stood in the way of younger men with ideas.
2. The old man took his grandson’s shoes and cut away the soles so that the shoes would seem whole from above but the young man’s feet would be on the ground.
3. The farmer was gloomy because he thought the richer men would look far and wide for the most exotic blooms but he could only choose from the wild flowers that grew around the farm.
4. The princess raised her eyebrows in astonishment and the king wanted to know why the farmer thought this was a suitable gift for her. The farmer said that nothing is more beautiful than a field of wheat and that nothing smells more beautiful than freshly baked bread.
5. – You may have different answers here depending on what you thought the moral was – Older people are important because they have knowledge and experience to pass on. Money is not everything. Sometimes the simple things are the most beautiful.

As you know May is often known as the Month of Mary in the Catholic Church. Many families say the Rosary, Visit Grottoes, and have May altars in their homes.
A Bealtaine (May)Custom
I have attached a page from your religion book containing a story about Mary for you to read.
We all know the Hail Mary which is the most commonly used prayer when praying to Mary.
Here is another one for you to say:
Hail, Holy Queen
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,
Hail our life, our sweetness and our hope!
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To thee do we send up our sighs,
Mourning and weeping in this valley of tears!
Turn then, most gracious Advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us,
and after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Oh clement, Oh loving,
Oh sweet Virgin Mary.
Amen.
That’s it for today.

Good Morning All,
I hope that you are all well and have had an enjoyable weekend. Wasn’t Saturday a beautiful day? Hopefully any of you with older brothers or sisters due to sit the Leaving Cert. exam are finding that they are happy with the decision made by the Minister of Education and are feeling less stressed. We are all getting more used to ‘Working from Home’ now, however I still prefer the classroom!
Mr Moran has purchased a school license for a Maths Programme called ‘Mathletics’- some of you may have used it before? I will be setting it up over the next few days and giving you your Passwords and Usernames (via classdojo) to enable you to log in. I should be able to select a Topic for you to answer questions on independently – no doubt there will be teething problems on my part (Where are you Joey??) but have patience and we will work it out.

Reading
Today we are going to read an article about Native Americans
English Reading Native Americans
Answer the following Questions in your English copy please. Remember Date, Rule, Heading
- When did European settlers first arrive in North America? (p.44)
- How did the ability to hunt on horseback affect Native American culture? (p. 48)
- What is the Trail of Tears? (p. 51)
- What effect did the arrival of European settlers have on the health of Native Americans? (p. 49)
As this article is quite long I have included the page numbers where you may find the answers to the questions.
Coincidentally – At Present Native Americans are being very badly affected by Covid 19 and they have appealed for funds. The fund raisers were surprised to find that they were receiving donations from Ireland and were wondering why this should be. They found that the reason was that the Choctaw had sent money to Ireland in 1847 to support victims of the Great Irish Famine. The writer Marie Louise Fitzpatrick wrote a beautifully illustrated book about this called ‘The Long March’ – see picture of book cover below.

Our final page introduces the topic of Genetic Modification of Plants – how scientists can modify the genes of certain crops to make plants grow a certain way. This process causes controversy as some people think that it is dangerous to modify and control plants in this way, biodiversity is affected, there is a possibility of cross contamination with other plants and if this happens we are not sure of the outcome. On the other hand we may be able to produce more food to feed more people all over the world -read the attached and maybe chat with your parents to see what they think.

Good Morning Everyone,
I’m sure that you all know by now that our school will not be re-opening until September. I really hoped that we would be back before the end of the year but as you know our Government believe that it is too risky at this point during this Covid pandemic. I was really sad to hear this and I ‘m sure that you were too. It’s important to remember the reason why this is happening; we are trying to keep everyone safe from Covid 19. We have all been doing our best with hand washing and social distancing and we just have to keep it up for a little bit longer.
Please don’t loose heart and give up on your schoolwork, this way of working is not nearly the same as all of us learning together in the classroom and as part of the whole school, but it’s the best we have for now. The last term for 6th Class is an important one, we had plans for activities and outings that have to be put on hold. Do try to stay in touch with us via the school website, classdojo and email. Mr Moran may be organising a Zoom meeting for our class soon and I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible when that happens. I encourage you and your families to keep trying your best to do as much of the school work as you can. I really appreciate your efforts as I know that it’s not always easy.
The good news is that we have a short week this week… so on we go!

Activity E – Grammar – Siobhán crept along the hedge until she caught sight of the leprechaun. He was in his blue coat and cocked hat with a red feather, an apron over his knees and he was hammering away at a little silver dance shoe. Beside him was a little pot of drink. She came up behind him and seized the back of his coat with the command, “Where is your treasure?” “You’re hurting me, ” said the leprechaun as he tried to wriggle out but, of course Siobhán had a tight hold of him. She had no intention of letting go until he told her where the gold was hidden.

Poetry
Today I have attached a poem written by one of the 1916 leaders. It was written by Pádraig Pearse and is called The Mother. As we know from our studies Pádraig Pearse was one of the 7 signatories of The Proclamation and he was executed. His brother Willie also took part in the 1916 Rising and although he was not one of the leaders he too, was executed.
The Poem: Like all poems it is much better when you read it aloud. Can you do that? I would love you to spend some time thinking about the poem and read it a second time, slowly.
Imagine that you are Pádraig and Willie’s mother – How would you feel?
Do you think that the poem addresses these feelings?
Do you think that Pádraig’s poem reflects a mother’s true feelings on the death of her two sons?

Today is also Irish National Poetry Day , as you know I really like poetry, it can help to express our feelings and to see how other people express theirs. You may have learned the poem Homework! Oh Homework! by J. Prelutsky when you were younger. I’ve changed the words a little for you today to express my feelings about Covid 19…..
Covid! Oh Covid!
Covid! Oh Covid!
I hate you! You stink!
I wish I could wash you away in the sink,
If only a bomb would explode you to bits,
Covid! Oh Covid! , you’re giving me fits!
I’d rather take baths with a man-eating shark,
Or wrestle a lion alone in the dark,
Eat spinach and liver, eat ten porcupines,
Than tackle the illness this virus assigns,
Covid! Oh Covid!
You’re last on my list,
I simply can’t see why you even exist.
If you just disappeared, it would tickle me pink,
Covid! Oh Covid!
I hate you! You Stink!
The End
We’ll take a look at another (more serious) poem tomorrow.

Equations
Our topic for this week is Equations. We have done a little on equations as they sometimes appear in our Mental Maths.
We are practising finding the value of Variables again today.
When a symbol or a letter is used in place of an unknown amount, it is called a variable.
Example x + 20 = 100. We are trying to find the value of x – x is the unknown number or variable. So.. x = 20 = 100, x = 100 -20, Therefore x = 80.
Example: 5p = 15 . We are trying to find the value of p – p is the unknown number or variable.
So… 5p = 15, 1 p (or p) = 15 divided by 5, Therefore p= 3 ( 5p means 5 times p)
Try the examples on the page attached. Click to open Maths Equations 2
Most of you will be able to figure out the value of the variable by looking at the sum but writing it out may help.

Good Morning All,
It’s Monday again and so we start another week. Why does the weekend seem to go so quickly??
I hope that you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the break from school work. I have been in touch touch with most of your parents and some of you too. I am so glad to hear that you and your families are keeping safe and well. We must all make a big effort to follow the social distancing guidelines for this week so that the numbers of people affected by Covid 19 can continue to fall. If we all try our best then maybe our Government will be able to lift some of the restrictions. The most important thing to remember is that by following the guidelines as best we can, we are helping to keep others and ourselves safe.

Example x + 20 = 100. We are trying to find the value of x – x is the unknown number or variable. So.. x = 20 = 100, x = 100 -20, Therefore x = 80.
Example: 5p = 15 . We are trying to find the value of p – p is the unknown number or variable.
So… 5p = 15, 1 p (or p) = 15 divided by 5, Therefore p= 3 ( 5p means 5 times p)

History
Topic: The 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland
Easter 1916 is a very significant time in Irish history.
Last week we read about how Pádraig Pearse read out The Proclamation on the steps of the GPO. What was The Proclamation? Today I have attached a copy of The Proclamation for you to read and to answer some questions on. Remember this document was written over a hundred years ago and so the language may seem a little difficult but try your best.
The 1916 Proclamation expressed the hopes and plans of the rebels for a new Ireland. It’s primary purpose was to declare an independent Irish Republic to the British and the rest of the word. They wanted a country that would look after all of it’s citizens – can you find any phrases that illustrate this ?

Happy, Happy Friday!!!
We’ve done a lot of work this week – just one more day to go so do keep trying your best. Although we are all happy that it’s Friday, it’s also a little sad. If this outbreak of Covid 19 had not happened most of us would be looking forward to our Confirmation Day tomorrow, it’s sad that it couldn’t take place and that, like many other things it had to be cancelled. However if we all manage to stay safe and well then it will be worth it and the Confirmation will be arranged for another date. Hopefully the weather will be nice for the weekend and we can all enjoy the sunshine.

Length
Our topic for this week is Length. Length is a type of measurement, it tells us how long or wide something is. We use the metric system – Millimetre, Centimetre, Metre, Kilometre. Remember: 10mm = 1cm 100cm = 1 m 1ooom = 1km
Today we will complete our topic Length.
Firstly, a little revision on Perimeter which we covered with area. Can you remember what this means? Perimeter is the distance around the outside of a shape or space. Please take a look at the attached and complete the table.Length 6 part 1
Secondly, we need to think about Scale. Scale is used in real life all the time, for example, in maps to represent countries and on house plans to represent the rooms in the house. If we were to draw n accurate picture of your bedroom we would need a very large piece of paper!! or we could find a way to make a smaller drawing using scale. We might use a scale of 1m :1cm – If your bedroom was 3 metres long we would represent this by drawing a 3cm line in our copy.
Try the 2 activities in Planet Maths page 86. Complete B Q 1-5 on the scale drawing of a kitchen and Q1-3 on the model railway. On the model railway the scale is 1:20cm which means that if something on the page measures 1cm it willbe 20cm in real life. If we measure 3cm on the page then it will be 3 x 20cm =60cm . Just try your best and do what you can.

Happy Friday and Happy Holidays!
Thank you to all who found their inner Smurf and wore something blue for World Autism Day – ‘little surprise’ for those who sent in photos.
There was a great response to Flags for Frontline to show support for all the workers providing services we all need in shops, farms, hospitals, at the doctor’s, drivers etc. I’m sure that it makes them feel better to know that they are appreciated.
Easter Holidays are finally here!!!! No more posts with school work from Mrs B.! What will you do???
I wish you and all your families a safe, healthy and Happy Easter. Thank you for all your hard work and support, I’m sure that you found it hard to adjust, as did I, but you stuck with it and in many cases did some extra work which is fantastic.

Easter is a very important season for the Catholic Church and for other Christian Churches too.
Easter is seen as a time of rebirth and hope as Jesus is raised from the dead. We see it in nature and in ourselves as we try to be the best person we can be. Celebrate Easter Week by carrying out a random act of kindness for someone in your family.

In Question 1 you are given the average and you are asked to find the total so what do you do?Think about how you found the average – you divided . Now you have the total so you do the opposite you multiply. Example for Q1 a) you multiply 6 by 4 so the answer is 24. In Question 2. We have to find the total and then we must complete another step to find the missing number. What will we do ? Example 2 a) The average of 5 numbers is 9 so that means the total of the numbers is 5X9 =45. Next we have to find the missing number so we add the numbers we have which comes to 40 and take the answer away from 45 to find the missing number 45-40=5 Question 3. This question is a little more difficult – First we find the the total of the numbers for 4 cars by multiplying. Next we add the numbers on the cars that we have and take our answer away from the total of the numbers for four cars to find our missing number.

Happy Friday!! I hope that you are all getting used to this new way of working – all of the teachers have to get used to it too and I’m confident that we will all get better at it as time goes on.

If you have blank paper and a folder of any kind that would suit also.
