Maths:  Mathemagic:         Wed:     P. 116 Questions 1 to 12

                                                Thurs:   P. 117 Questions 1 to 3

                                                 Fri:          P. 118 Questions 1 to 18

Hint: Try a few questions from page 115. This is the exact opposite of the previous work where we found the profit and loss when knowing the cost price. Remember the cost price is always 100%.

Looking at Page 115, Question 2 (a), if the selling price is €15 and the profit is 25% the sum is:

Cost price (100%)             +             profit (25%)        = Selling price (€15)

(100% +                25%)                     125%                     = €15

 (125% = 5/4) 5 quarters                                                = €15

¼                                                                                         = €15 ÷ 5 = €3

4/4 (100%/Cost Price)                                                    = €3 x 4 = €12

 

Similarly with loss (see question 3(a)):

Cost Price (100%)             –              Loss (10%)           = Selling Price (€18)

(100% – 10%)                      90%                                        = €18

(90% = 9/10)       9 tenths                                               = €18

                                1 tenth                                                 = €18 ÷ 9 = €2

10/10 (100%/Cost Price)                                                = €2 x 10 = €20

Bhí ar Daithí dul isteach sa loch chun an liathróid a fháil. Rinne Seán físeán eile ar an táibléad. Nuair a tháinig Daithí amach bhí sé fliuch báite agus bhí sé ar buile ach cheap Seán go raibh se thar a bheith greannmhar!

Open the door,

People of the House,

The night is cold and wet

And the wind is rough.

 

It’s a poor man I am,

Without friends, without a house.

Open the door

And let me in.

 

You’re welcome in,

You are cold and tired.

Take off your coat

and sit on the stool.

And you will get your fill

with eating and drinking.

Tues:     P. 120 Questions 1 to 6 (part (a) only), question 7 all. P. 121 Questions 5 to 8

Hint 1:   To find value for money, find the cost of 1 item. For example in question 1:            

                                 (i) 7 apples cost €2.45. €2.45 ÷ 7 = 35c (1 apple)

                                (ii) 5 apples cost €1.80. €1.80 ÷ 5 = 36c (1 apple)

                                So far, (i) is better value as each apple is 1c cheaper.

Hint 2:   Interest is the same as profit in the previous chapter, find the percentage and add it on. The only difference is for 2 years, add it on twice, for 3 years, three times etc.

Work to be completed over the two weeks

History:  Complete a line of development study on the “Evolution of Transport”. Use the Internet to research various means of transport throughout history and attempt to put together a line of development, for example, ancient tribes building simple boats up to cruise ships and submarines today. How did this happen? What inventions and discoveries were made in the years in between to make it possible? Look at transport on land, on water and in the air. I will be asking to see some evidence of this study on SeeSaw at some point.

Geography:    Geography Quest P 1: The Structure of the Earth.

Read chapter and complete the following activities:

Activity B 1-6,

  1. Crust
  2. Hot molten rocks
  3. No
  4. Iron & nickel
  5. Eurasian Plate
  6. USA, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Russia, Papua New Guinea

Activity C 1-4

  1. Movement of plates
  2. It measures the strength of earthquakes
  3. A giant wave.
  4. There is a fault here caused by plates either moving apart or clashing against each other.

Activity D 1-4

  1. Lava
  2. Mount Etna, Mount Vesuvius
  3. No
  4. (a) Active Volcano is likely to erupt at any time. (b) Dormant volcano is not active at the moment but it could become active again at some point. (c) Extinct volcano was once active but will never erupt again.

 

Science:            Science Quest P 1: Potato Power!

                              Read chapter and complete experiment on page 1. Discuss what the results tell you.

Visual Arts:     Using an egg carton (body), four toilet rolls (legs) and a cereal box (to create head and tail if needed) create an animal to be displayed when we meet again! Use paint or whatever colours you have to colour in/decorate your animal. You can create any animal you want, I’ve seen horses, giraffes, elephants, dogs, pigs and many more in previous years! (Tip: it’s easier to paint the egg carton if you glue some white paper onto it first.) I will be looking for an image of your creations online!

 

Print and colour “The Scream” by Edvard Munch. Research the piece and the artist. Again I can’t wait to see all your efforts!

Note from SEN Team

For children receiving extra support from Ms Dalton, Mrs Kelly, Mrs O’Connor and Ms Malone, you may find the following information useful.

English:

Reading:

Read any book/comic/magazine/internet article etc. that is of interest to your child, with your support if necessary, and then do the following;

  1. The child retells the story in their own words.
  2. You ask who/what/where/when/why/what if questions in relation to what was read.
  3. The child writes a short paragraph about what they have read.
  4. For the junior classes-continuous practice of sight words is important.

 

Spelling:

  1. It is important to keep up with the *SOS (Say the word, Say the letters as you write them, Say the word again) and Look Say Cover Write Check approaches in relation to class spellings work i.e.

Writing:

Keep a diary of daily events, you can illustrate this if you wish.

 

Useful sites:

 

Maths:

  1. Continuous practice of sums using pencil and paper as appropriate for your child’s class level i.e. addition, subtraction, multiplication and division (please include subtraction and addition with renaming, long multiplication and long division as appropriate.)
  2. Tables Practice: Oral drills on all tables covered to date, the Hit The Button game accessed on topmarks.co.uk is extremely helpful.

Maths practice as above must be practiced daily so that progress made to date will be maintained.
