Dear parents,

Please find enclosed work for the week commencing 11th May. Many thanks for your continued support and assistance throughout the school closure. Since the last time I wrote to you it has obviously been confirmed that the schools will not return until September at the earliest. I know this is very disappointing for the children who miss their friends and school. This is particularly difficult on 6th class who are missing out on the final term of their primary school years, which is always a special time for every child. As I have said in previous email correspondence, we will do all that we can to still provide your 6th class with a worthy send off. It might not be the same as years gone by but hopefully we can still make it special. We will be in touch in due course in relation to same. Obviously we are restricted at present given current Government guidelines. Obviously with the continued school closure announced, some children might find home schooling even more difficult over the next couple of weeks as motivation and other factors become an issue. I have included some outdoor activities this week such as the May bush and the teachers PE challenge. Hopefully they will enjoy these. As I have said before do not feel under any pressure in terms of completing work. I commend all the children for the way they have engaged with the school work sent home to date and I’m sure that is a reflection of the support you have provided the children over the last number of weeks. If you have any questions or queries in relation to school work, 6th class end of year or any other issues please don’t hesitate to contact me. Could you please share the following message with your children. Thank you.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfAN6pekmPk

Stay Safe and healthy,Kind Regards,Joe Mooney

We are moving on to ‘Fractions/Decimals/Percentages’ this week – its Chapter 25 (P.132) Sixth Class and its revision of Chapter 24 (P.129) and a look at Chapter 22 (page 120) 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 132 – Fractions/Decimals/Percentages 3We make a profit when we sell something for more than it cost us to buy.

Example:Jesse bought a new phone and it cost €40. He then sold it to Tom for €50. Jesse made €10 profit on the sale. Sale price €50 = cost price €40 + profit €10

Calculate the profit by taking away the cost from the sale price. With that in mind please complete Q.1 a, b, c, d.

We make a loss when we sell something for less than it cost us to buy.Example:Shane Cahill bought a Chelsea jersey for €75. He sold it to Adam for €50. Shane made a loss of €25. Sale price €50 = cost price €75 – loss €25

If we sell something for less than we paid for it then calculate the loss by subtracting the cost price from the sale price. Please complete Q.2.

Please complete the missing amounts in the table in Q.3. A loss is written with a minus sign. Q.4. Solve the profit or loss problems.

5th ClassPage 130 – Revision of Percentage (%) extra free Percentage is always out of 100 or per 100. Therefore it always must be shown as over 100 when in fraction format.

We calculate % extra free the same way as we calculate an increase. Was 1kg, now 40% extra free.Increase by 40/100 = 4/10 = 2/5 of 1kg = 400gNew weight: 1kg + 400g = 1.4kg.Now work out Q.1 a, b, c, d.

Find the new cost of one.A pack of four peppers was €1.80. Now 50% extra free. How much does the pepper cost now?We get 50% more peppers. 50% of 4 = 2We now get 6 peppers for €1.80.€1.80 ÷ 6 = €0.30 One pepper equals 30c now. Use this example to help you solve Q2 a, b, c and d.

You can skip Q3 as we already completed in class earlier in the year. Complete this table instead.

Complete this table:

SESE:The May BushFolklore and History of the May bush

On the first of May, summer officially begins in Ireland. And in centuries-old fashion, it's also the time that many people in Wexford will gather their painted eggs shells, ribbons and bunches of flowers and decorate their May Bush. The May Bush tradition is not just a Wexford tradition and is found in other counties in Leinster, East Munster and Ulster, with variants in Connaught; Wexford, however, is regarded as the stronghold of the tradition.For those who don’t know, the May Bush is a piece of a whitethorn (known locally as a ‘skeagh’) or gorse/furze bush which is erected on the first of May or May Eve and decorated with painted eggshells, ribbons and seasonal flowers. In the past in Co. Wexford, small candles were also placed on the May Bush and in some cases these May Bushes were burnt that very night. Throughout north-east Wexford, bonfires were lit on this evening and this tradition is still alive in some areas to this day. These fires are a continuation of the ancient Bealtaine fire tradition that stretches back in time and gives the month of May its Irish name, Bealtaine, meaning bright light or bright fire. Do you know the name of the month of May in Irish? Traditionally, these May Bushes were erected in a prominent place in a bid to keep the ‘pisheogs’ away (i.e. the fairies), and like so many of our customs the May Bush was centred on the protection of the growing crops and the milk yield. Eggshells were kept up after Easter Sunday, mostly by girls, and then painted and hung on these bushes. A contemporary version of this now is the use of plastic Kinder Egg shells and leftover foil from Easter eggs.The creation of the May bush was often accompanied by a procession and sports and festivities. In some parts of Ulster, a King was chosen, along with the Queen. Sometimes, there was a bush carried in the procession, on which there were hurling balls hanging. May Day traditionally marked the start of summer hurling and in Kilkenny, women gifted men with new hurling balls on this day.Dancing was a feature of May bonfire celebrations. It also featured around the May Pole or where communal May Bushes were burnt. This was a time for celebrating the continuity of the community. The customary dance involved the men and women joining hands to form a large circle with a dancer weaving in and out of the circle under their arms and collecting other dancers to follow after them. This has been described as representing a winding serpent and as representing the movements of the sun. It is similar to the children’s game In and out go the dusty bluebells – these blue flowers were also traditionally picked in May.This is a video/interview from New Ross library of two ladies who have memories of the May bush and its traditionshttps://youtu.be/Mii_H94VEi0Task:Imagine you are a child long ago when there were no cars on the streets, no internet, no TV and no phones. You have just been involved in Mayday celebrations and procession. Give an account of your day and what events took place.

6th ClassPage 133 – Profit or loss percentagesExample A: Darragh paid €150 for a bike. He sold it to Shane Russell for €180. What percentage profit did he make?Cost price = €150Sale price = €180Profit = €30Fraction profit 30/150 3/15 = 1/5 Put the profit over the cost price to find the fraction and then simplify as I have done above. % profit 1 X 100 100 = 20%

5 1 5

Example B: Maggie bought a tablet for €240. She sold it to Kate for €200. What percentage loss did she make?Cost price = €240Sale price = €200Loss = €40Fraction loss 40/240 4/24 = 1/6 Put the loss over the cost price to find the fraction and then simplify as I have done above. % loss 1 X 100 100 50 = 16 2/3%

6 1 6 3

Q.1 Complete the chart. Calculate the percentage profit/loss for each of these. Losses are shown in brackets ( ).

REMEMBER: Calculate the profit or loss and then put the profit or loss over the cost price to make it into a fraction. Simplify the fraction to its lowest terms. Then convert the fraction to a percentage.

Q.2 Solve the problems. I will do a) as a further example:Cost price = €1,500Sale price = €2,000 (ten surfboards at €200 each – Mr Stafford and Mr Keating are going to use them surfing!)Profit = €500 Fraction profit 500/1500 1/3 Put the profit over the cost price to find the fraction and then simplify as I have done above. % profit 1 X 100 100 = 33.33%

Religion:May the month of MarySince medieval times in Ireland, there has been a strong association with the devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary during the month of May. Much of the traditions associated with May have been incorporated into the Marian processions found throughout the country.

Children and adults collected flowers for crowning Our Lady in town processions. They also used them to decorate grottoes, shrines and church altars. It was and still is very common to have a home altar either in the kitchen or outside in the farmyard. Sometimes the flowers picked for this altar were made into crosses. The maintenance of these altars and their replenishment with fresh flowers continued on from the 1 May, throughout the month.

This week, see if you can create a May altar somewhere in your home.

Tá na crainn ag luascadh préachta leis an bhfuacht. Ta mé ag cur allais.

What was the original price?Profit = 20%Fraction profit 20/100 = 1/5Put the percentage profit over 100 and then simplify. Sale price = cost price + profit = 6/5 (six fifths)6/5 = €600 (sale price)1/5 = €100 (€600 ÷ 6)5/5 = €500 cost price (€100 x 5)

Example B:Sam sold a football to Deri for a profit of 75%. The actual profit was €15. What were the cost and selling price?Profit 75% = ¾ and Actual profit = €15¾ = €15¼ = €54/4 = €20 (cost price)7/4 = €35 (sale price)

Here are some he has created.

For art this week, you can create a May bush or a May branch. Follow Larry’s top tips to create one.

Cathaoir nua sa siopa in aice leis an tine Thit cupán caife

If you don’t have a tree or bush in your garden, just find a branch that you can decorate.

Ask permission before decorating tree! The bush/branch can be put into the ground in front of your house or into

a bucket to help it to stand up. If you have no ribbons, you can cut up old cloths or clothes to tie on the

tree (don’t forget to ask for permission!) If you have old tennis balls, sliotars or old easter egg wrappers you can

put these on the tree. If you would like to leave a surprise for your garden birds in your May

bush, you could make some suet balls for them using peanut butter, porridge oats and some fruit.

The most important thing when decorating a May bush is to have fun! You can make it as individual and unique as you wish.

Remember the environment when you are taking down your May bush after a week or two.

If you would like to share a photo of your May bush, I would be delighted to see it.

Religion:May is the month of Mary, the mother of God.Reflection: Why is Mary so important to us?

Why did Jesus want Mary to be our mother too? Can you think of any qualities in her that you admire?

Look at the following three images of Mary.

Our Lady of Knock (Ireland)

Our Lady of Lourdes (France)

Our Lady of Guadalupe (Mexico) The image of Our Lady of Knock comes from an apparition that happened

in Ireland. The image of our Lady of Lourdes comes from the story of St. Bernadette in France and the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe comes from Mexico.

What are the similarities/differences between the images? Do you think the fact that each image comes from a different

country/culture tells us anything about the differences between images? Why do you think Mary is so important to Catholics across the world? Draw an image of Mary as you see her.
