Dear Parents,

Please find this week’s work for the week Tuesday 5th May to Friday 8th May. I have also enclosed all the answers for last week’s work which can be found at the end of this document. It is important the children continue to self-correct. I would just like to re-emphasise again this week that the work uploaded every week is a working document, children can complete as it suits during the week. It is broken down by days in order to give some sort of structure for the children. However I am aware that every child works at a different pace and may be motivated to do more work on certain days.

The main focus during the week should be on the core subjects, Maths, English and Irish. Additional reading would also be beneficial. This week 6th class will commence some work on their yearbooks. I will be forwarding an attachment via email for 6th class children to complete on Microsoft word. If the children could complete and return by email. Further instructions have been outlined in their work this week. I would just ask parents to encourage the children to put some time and thought into what they write. The yearbook is a fabulous document at the end of the year which they will have forever with lots of wonderful memories.

Many thanks for your continued support during this time. Parents having being going above and beyond to help the children complete their weekly work and upload the work to my email. It is greatly appreciated. Any queries or questions please do not hesitate to contact me via email.

Kind Regards,Mr Mooney

Tuesday 5 th May: Maths:

We are moving on to the last Data chapter this week – its Chapter 30 (P.158) 6th class and Chapter 28 (p.152) 5th class in your Busy @ maths book- We will learn about Pie charts Tuesday and Wednesday and revise all data then Thursday and Friday.Please ensure all work has a heading, date and each question is given the correct number/letter in your copy.

6th ClassPage 158 – Pie charts

The “PIE” which is a circle always has 360 degrees!I will explain Q1 ‘Hair colours’ and you will be able to complete Q2 and Q3 using the same technique!

We need to know that there are 36 children in the class! The children with brown hair cover 150 degrees – that as a fraction is

150/360 but simplified to 5/12 (30 divides into both of them) Then you need to divide by the bottom – 36 divided by 12 = 3 (1/12) and

multiply by the top which is 5 – 3 x 5 = 15 children (5/12)

Black hair: 120 degrees = 120/360 or 1/3 = 12 children (I found 1/3 of 36)

Blonde hair: 60 degrees = 60/360 or 1/6 = 6 children (I found 1/6 of 36)

Red hair: 30 degrees = 30/360 or 1/12 = 3 children (I found 1/12 of 36)

Now I want you to complete Q2 and Q3 P.158 using the same technique as I didQ4 and Q5 are a little different as they give us the fraction instead of the degrees in the pie chart. Q4: “The favourite dinner”, you’ve to find the degrees, the fraction and the number of votes each dinner got.

Roast dinner: 3/10 – I need to change that fraction to ?/360 (Because there are 360 degrees in a circle) how do I change the 10 to 360? I multiply it by 36 – you need to multiply the numerator too which in this case is 3 – 3x36 = 108. So the fraction for the roast dinner is 3/10 or 108/360 – now I know the degrees – its 108. The last thing you need to do is the “votes” – so you’ve to find 3/10 of120 – 120 divided by 10 = 12 then multiplied by 3 = 36 votes

Spaghetti Bolognese: 1/5 – I need to change the denominator to 360 so I’ve to multiply by 72 (I divide 5 into 360 to find this out) so my new fraction is 72/360- now I know my degrees are 72 and to find the votes I get 1/5 of 120 which is 24.

Now you solve Q4 c & d (The lasagne and chicken curry) and do all Q5

5th ClassPage 152 – Pie charts PIE charts are a useful way to show data. Study the pie charts on page 152 and then answers the questions.Q1. (Note it is divided in 2 equal parts).Q2. (TIP: Think of the circle divided into 4 equal parts).Complete Q3. And The Challenge also.

6th ClassThis week 6th class will be working on their yearbook. So todays advertising task in English is for 5th class only.

YEARBOOK:This week as part of your English work I want you to work on the yearbook pages I have sent to you – they are attached to the end of this document (4 pages) and I have also emailed a copy to your parent/guardian. I need you to complete it on the word document I sent it on (the email) if possible and then return it at the end of the week – if you need a little longer that’s OK but we need to get them back A.S.A.P so we can put them together. Please put as much effort as possible into this work – you will have it for ever!

5th ClassDo you remember last week you had a go at persuasive writing? You are going to put that into practise today by creating a newspaper advertisement. Here are some examples of persuasive advertising:

Advertising encourages people to buy or do something. Initially, the person may not want to buy the item so advertisers use persuasion to encourage you to buy it. They can do this by:

Listing the benefits of a product/service. Using persuasive language. Making the advertisement eye catching. Making you feel like you need this product.

Your task today is to sell being in lockdown to people! Your advertisement must try and make lockdown sound like the most brilliant thing in the whole world! You can make it A4 size. You must think about who you want to sell lockdown to. Will it be to children or adults? You can complete this over today and tomorrow. You can include:

Wednesday 6 th May: Maths: Please ensure all work has a heading, date and each question is given the correct number/letter in your copy.

6th ClassPage 159 – Pie chartsThis page is about following on from yesterday’s work and adding to it by drawing your own pie chart to represent the information. You start by filling in the table like you were doing yesterday but again it is a little bit trickier as we are given the “votes” today. We need to find the fraction and then the degrees (so we are working backwards!) I’ll show you how to do the first two (French and German and you can complete the rest... (Remember there are 80 children)

French: 16 votes, which is equal to 16/80 (simplify – 1/5). Now that you have your fraction you can get the degrees – remember 360 degrees in a circle so you need to make your denominator (5) 360- to do that you must multiply it by 72. Then do the same to your numerator = 72, so the degrees for French will be 72 degrees.

German: 24 votes, that is 24/80 (3/10). I want to convert the fraction to degrees so again I need to make the denominator (10) 360 so I will multiply by 36, I do the same to my numerator (3 x 36) and I get 108. So the degrees for German on my pie chart will be 108 degrees!

Now you solve Spanish and Chinese – complete the table in your copy.

When you’ve the table complete I want you to represent your data on a pie chart using the following steps:

1. Using a compass, draw a circle (big enough so you can see it easily) 2. Draw a radius (a line from the centre point to the circumference)3. Use that radius line as a starting point for your first angle (sector). Let’s

say we will start with French, my degrees are 72, so I place the protractor on the line and the centre point on the end of my radius line and I mark 72 degrees on the protractor (remember acute and obtuse angles- use the correct scale)

4. Now join your marked area to the centre point of your circle and you’ve represented French. Colour that area.

5. Now you’ll continue following this format but for the next one, German, you will start on the new line you created for French with your protractor, measure out 108 degrees (obtuse), mark it, and draw that sector. Colour it a different colour.

6. Now continue with Spanish and Chinese. So, today you should have the table of Q1 P.159 in your copy and a Pie chart representing the data from the table. I look forward to seeing them

5th ClassPage 153 – A closer look at pie chartsStudy Dad’s day in the box at the top of page 153. The key tells you how many hours Dad spends at each activity. Use the circle I have attached on the next page to complete Q.1 a and fill in the information on the circle. Then answers b, c, d and e.REMEMBER: when working out the percentage, it is out of 24 as there are 24 hours in a day. Don’t forget to simplify your fraction if you can.

For Q.2 please remember that there are 360 degrees in a circle. For Q.2 you need to use the information from Q.1. For this question you are asked to calculate how degrees of the circle represent each activity of Dad’s day.FOR EXAMPLE: How many degrees represent eating?

a) Calculate the fraction in its simplest form. Simplest form = 2/24 = 1/12

b) Then find 1/12 of 360 degrees.360 ÷ 12 = 30 degrees

FOR EXAMPLE: How many degrees represent sleeping?a) Calculate the fraction in its simplest form.

Simplest form = 6/24 = ¼

b) Then find ¼ of 360 degrees360 ÷ 4 = 90 degrees

Now you complete the box in Q2. Eating is already done and I have done sleeping. You fill in sleeping and then work out working, driving, family time, chores.

Page 150 – Data revision

This is an excellent revision page to test yourself on what you can remember about data!

Do all of Q1 and Q2 P.160 Remember, Average (add all of them up and divide by the number

you have e.g Paddy drank 3 cups of tea Monday, 5 on Tuesday and 7 on Wednesday. On average how many cups of tea did he drink each day- 3 + 5 + 7 = 15, then divide by 3 (because I’ve 3 days) 15 divided by 3 = 5

For Q2 you’ve to complete the tables – this is exactly what you’ve been doing the last 2 days so let’s now put it to the test. I’ll help a little further: The total sales of Percy Panda = 120 & The total sales of Poems for Peace = 108

5th ClassPage 154 – Constructing pie charts

Always write the fractions in their simplest form.Complete the data in Q.1.REMEMBER: There are 60 children. So you work out your fraction based on 60 children. So for vegetable soup it is 15/60 chose vegetable, simplified this equals ¼.REMEMBER: There are 360 degrees in a circle. So to find out the degrees, you find ¼ of 360 which = 90 degrees.

When you’ve the table complete in Q.1 I want you to represent your data on a pie chart using the following steps:

1. Using a compass, draw a circle (big enough so you can see it easily) 2. Draw a radius (a line from the centre point to the circumference)3. Use that radius line as a starting point for your first angle (sector). Let’s

say we will start with vegetable soup, my degrees are 90, so I place the protractor on the line and the centre point on the end of my radius line and I mark 90 degrees on the protractor (remember acute and obtuse angles- use the correct scale)

4. Now join your marked area to the centre point of your circle and you’ve represented vegetable soup. Colour that area.

5. Now you’ll continue following this format but for the next one, chicken, you will start on the new line you created for vegetable with your protractor, measure out the correct degrees, mark it, and draw that sector. Colour it a different colour.

6. Now continue with tomato and potato and leek.

7. Give your pie chart a title.So, today you should have the table of Q1 P.154 in your copy and a Pie chart representing the data from the table. I look forward to seeing them

6th ClassPage 161 – More revision of dataThis is more super revision to ensure you know data inside out and upside down!Complete all Q3 and all Q4 P.161For Q3 remember;

trend graphs can be found on p.110 and p.111 if you forgot what they look like

increase means (got bigger) decrease means (got smaller)

For Q4 remember;Profit is the money you are left over with after selling an item for a price exceeding what you bought it for.E.g. I bought my football boots for €60, I scored a hat trick every time I wore them and so Mr Stafford got jealous and asked if I would sell them. I did, for €100! So I made a profit of €40 and guess what, he never scored a goal with them- it was clearly all me!

5th ClassPage 161 – Revision Use the PIE charts for Year 1 and Year 2 to answer questions 1 and 2. WARNING! There may be more than one answer

Then copy and complete the grids in Q3 using the information in the two pie charts (Year 1 and Year 2)This time you have been given the degrees in in the 2 pie charts. REMEMBER: 360 degrees in a circle. To find the fraction you must work out work out what fraction of 360 degrees.EXAMPLE: Year 1 Fiction – 180 degrees on the pie chart.Fraction = 180/360 = ½ To find the number of children?180 children got a book. So if ½ got fiction that means 90 got fiction.

EXAMPLE: Year 1 Fantasy – 60 degrees on the pie chart.Fraction = 60/360 = 1/6 Number of children = 1/6 of 360. 180 ÷ 6 = 30

Now complete the two grids in your copy, Q3 a and b.

Q.4 Using the data you completed in grid A and grid B put the data on a multiple horizontal bar chart as shown in Q4 and answer part B also.

English: NovelRead chapter 15 and answer the questions.

1. What signs reveal that Lieutenant Kotler is getting very close to Bruno's mother?

2. Why is Shmuel at Bruno's house?3. How does Bruno inadvertently get Shmuel into trouble?4. Why does Bruno fail to tell Lieutenant Kotler that he gave Shmuel the

chicken?

Opinion1. Do you think there is any justification for Bruno denying his friendship with

Shmuel? What would you have done in Bruno's situation?

2. Why do you think that Shmuel forgives Bruno so easily for betraying him? What does this suggest about Shmuel?

Gach maidin scoile, dúisíonn Seán ar a leathuair tar éis a seacht. Ach ní

éiríonn sé go dtí a deich chun a hocht nuair a tosaíonn Mam ag béiceadh

‘Brostaigh!’ ó bhun an staighre. Cuireann sé a éide scoile air agus itheann sé

a bhricfeasta go mall. Ansin, faigheann sé síob sa charr le Mam nó le Daid.

Ar scoil, oibríonn sé go dian an mhaidin ar fad. Ag am lóin, téann sé amach agus imríonn sé lena chairde. De ghnáth, imríonn siad peil. Sa tráthnóna, oibríonn sé go dian arís. Buaileann an clog ar cheathrú chun a trí agus ar aghaidh leis abhaile.
