Bealtaine 5th-8th
Hi Girls, I hope you and your families are keeping well. As Monday will be a bank holiday, this week’s work is only set for Tuesday to Friday. I hope you got through the work from last week's without too much difficulty. Try your best to complete as much of this week’s work as possible but do not get stressed out about it and email me if you are having any difficulties. I would appreciate if you could take pictures of your Environmental Awareness projects and Interviews and email them to me if possible. You should continue watching RTÉ Home School ·RTÉ Home School Hub is on RTÉ2 Monday to Friday at 11AM. ·RTÉ Home School Hub Extra is on RTÉ2 Monday to Friday at 12:00PM and at 4:10PM Maths This week’s maths work is based on Lines and Angles Pg.62-66. You do not have to complete every question. We have already learned how to use a protractor (Google “tenmarks protractor”) and we are familiar with the different types of angles. Please revise the following · Acute(1-89 degrees), right (90 degrees) obtuse (91-179 degrees) straight (180 degrees) and reflex (181-359 degrees) ·To calculate how many degrees in a given reflex angle remember to subtract the value of the corresponding acute or obtuse angle from 360 degrees (Google “edplace.com reflex angles”) ·In order to calculate the degrees in the movement of a clock (e.g. the clock hand moving from 1 o’clock- 2 o’clock), divide 360 degrees by 12. This means that each movement will be 30 degrees. With this in mind, if it is 4 o’ clock, it will make an angle of 120 degrees. (30 degrees x4 movements =120 degrees) ·Remember that there are 180 degrees in every triangle. If one angle is 40 degrees and another is 80 degrees, how do we calculate the third angle? We must add both angles together and subtract from 180 degrees. The other angle is 60 degrees. (40+80=120 then 180-120=60) ·Remember that if you have lines joining a straight angle (180 degrees) you must add the angles together and subtract from 180 degrees · Maths Challenge 65,66,67,68 · Please continue to practice your multiplication and division tables daily English 1) Spellbound Week 32 (Revision weeks 25-31) – Complete all exercises on pages 66&67 2) Poetry – This week we will be looking at a poem by a famous Irish poet named William Butler Yeats. The poem is called “When You Are Old” When You Are Old - By William Butler Yeats When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. The Meaning "When You Are Old" is very much influenced by Greek Mythology. It talks about the legend of Helen of Troy which got Yeats inspired. He actually wrote the poem for a girl named Maud Gonne who he loved. The speaker in the poem is an anonymous man (we don't know who he is) who expresses his deep love for a lady that has been rejecting his advances The speaker asks the girl he loves to see herself in the future when her beauty will fade as she gets old. He’s saying all these just to get her attention. The central theme of the poem is love. The poet tries to portray his love for a lady who has always rejected his advances. In the real life, many men and women go through the same situation. Some ladies keep rejecting men’s advances even when it’s clear that the men are deeply in love (and vice versa) Questions
(3) Interviews – To continue improving our interview skill, this week we will be focusing on “body language” A huge percentage of what we say in non-verbal (we do not speak it) Research has suggested that 93% of human communication is conveyed through body language. I would like you to research and record 5 tips to help you to keep your body language positive. (e.g. use eye contact) 4) Please remember to continue with your daily diary. Just take a minute in the evening to write down what you during the day. 5) Make sure that you are continuing to read every day. Gaeilge folensonline.ie can be accessed free of charge 1) Continue to watch one program each day on TG4 2) Each day this week, continue to watch the weather as Gaeilge on TG4. Do your best to continue to record three points each day e.g. Beidh an aimsir go deas Twinkl.ie has many helpful resources to help you learn a little more about “An Aimsir” An Mháirt - Abair Liom L.119 – Na céimeanna comparáide (making comparisons) “I” 1-7 An Chéadaoin- L.120 Léigh an plean agus an dán faoin sneachta (Read the plan and poem about snow) Based on this complete “L” -An Ghaoth (the wind) and “M” – An bháisteach (The rain) An Déardaoin – L.122 “A” In this passage you will need to fill in the words from above. Before you do this you will need to change the words into the future tense (An Aimsir Fháistineach)There is help on this below. (1)Glan- Glanfaidh (2)Cuir- Cuirfidh (3)Féach- Féachfaidh (4)Éist- Éistfidh (5)Imir- Imeoidh (6)Ceannaigh- Ceannóidh (7)Tosaigh- Tosóidh (8)Cabhraigh-Cabhróidh (9)Bailigh-Baileoidh (10)Éirigh- Éireoidh An Aoine – L.123 “C” Match the words with opposite meanings (you may need your dictionaries) e.g. dorcha(dark)- geal (bright) Science This week we continue to focus on Environmental Awareness and Care. ·Desertification is the process by which fertile land becomes a desert. Please research and record your answers to the following questions (a) Find three main causes of desertification (b) Give three locations where desertification has occurred (c) Give three ways in which desertification can be prevented (d) What impact does desertification have on humans? (e) How are global warming and desertification linked? Best of luck with your work this week and email me if you are having any difficulties. Remember to continue exercising each day and helping your parents around the house. Take care, M. Murphy Comments are closed.
