Hi 6th Class,I hope you are all well and had a nice long weekend, I enjoyed it as best I could and got loads of jobs completed around the garden and house.

There is 4 days’ work attached to this document (Tuesday – Friday) please complete what you can. DO NOT feel under pressure to get it all done if it isn’t possible.

I know some of you are feeling a little ‘fed up’ of this situation now and wish you could be back in school with your friends seeing out your final weeks of primary school- I feel like that some days too! But, we must keep our heads up and stay positive! I am delighted to see so many of you engaging with Seesaw now and I hope it makes the learning a little bit easier for you.

You’ll notice that your English this week (ALL week) involves work for your yearbook – I have sent an email to your parent/guardian about this and I would like you to read it carefully too. This is a very special memory that you will have forever. Please put the time, care and effort into it as you will only get out of it what you put in.

I posted some reading material to Seesaw but in case you missed it I suggested; The boy in the striped Pyjamas, Reaching the heights, Goodnight Mr. Tom and Wonder. Read a book that captures your interest and read for enjoyment.

If you need any further help please let me know via email or Seesaw.

Slán,Mr. Keating

Tuesday 5 th May:

Maths:We are moving on to the last Data chapter this week – its Chapter 30 (P.158) 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.Page 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

PE: Make sure you’re getting at least 60 minutes exercise every day, this can be playing a game, going for a run or cycle, doing a workout online, or like me, bringing the dogs for plenty of walks- they are now fed up of seeing their lead coming out of the shed!!The body coach is still doing workouts on YouTube, these are super but I’m also going to attach a link for a yoga session- I tried it and I think it’s great!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td6zFtZPkJ4 (Do some yoga – why not get the family to join in too?)

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.Page 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, that 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

Eucharist: Giving thanks

We all love to give and receive gifts. Giving a gift to someone can be a way of showing them we love them or that we want them to know we care about them. It can also be a way of saying thank you to someone. Some

Rinne mamaí cáca dá breithlá an cluiche ar an teilifís chuaigh na páistí abhaile sa bhus

gifts can be bought, but there are also gifts that money can’t buy. Sometimes the gifts that money can’t buy are the best gifts!

In your own mind or with conversation with your family, think about: What do you think are the best gifts that God has given you? Write about them or draw an image of them. How can you use the gifts God has given you to bring joy or comfort

to someone you know – especially now that times are more challenging for all of us. USE your gifts!
