Mr.Aylward


"When You Believe"

Many nights we prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts, a hopeful song
We barely understood

Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we knew we could, oh yes

There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

Oh yeah, in this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fear
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way clear through the rain
A small but still resilient voice
Says hope is very near, oh

There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

You will when you
You will when you believe
Just believe
I believe, I believe
Just believe
You will when you believe

Hi everyone,

This weeks is ACTIVE SPORTS WEEK. I hope that you all commit to a week of extra activity this week. It is very important that we don't just make one week of our life an 'Active Week' each year. Activity should and must be part of our life- each day!! You are all very intelligent young people and you all know the benefits of physical activity (whatever type you enjoy).
Please see links to activities for this week below. I would suggest that you use the following template each day this week.

I have also included a GRADUATION BOOK which you might like to explore between now and next Wednesday. There are some nice pieces and ideas which you can complete to create a little piece for a memory box!!

Talk soon,

  7. €1792 plus 1/8 of 1792= €2016
  8. USE THE STRATEGY ON WORKLIST SHEET!!!!!!!  Profit= €18, Fraction Profit= €18/90....now you have a fraction of 18/90 ......simplify it.......1/5.......= 20%.....so answer =20%
  9. 25%
  10. €442
  11. 30%
  12. 20%
  13. €504
  14. €396
  15. €465...because €372 was a loss price!!! So 372= 80% and not 100%........372=3/4.......so divide by 3 and multiply by 4
  16. €784...same as above.......784= 7/8 because 1/8 was taken off the original price.
  17. 7,900.....because 8295 = 105% .....in other words 8295 people includes the 5% or 1/20 increase!!!! 8295= 21/20.......  divide by 21 and multiply by 20
  18. 33 and 1/3 %.......160/480......simplify it down....gives you 1/3.....the customer got 1/3 taken off the bill.......which is 33 1/3%
  19. First of all, find the euro increase....it is €45!!  So to find a % we must first find a fraction.......45 out of 375 = 45/375.......simplify it 3/25........1/25=4%......so 3 of them= 12%...
  20. 62 1/2 % = 5/8...this is the key here!!!  So €2520 is = 5/8 .....because it says it in the question!!! ​We are told twice that he puts an amount into the Credit Union!!...firstly it says 62.5% in the account and secondly it says €2520 in the account...so we know that they are the same thing!!!.....all the raffle prize is 8/8 so we divide €2520 by 5 to find 1/8....multiply by 8 to get all or 8/8.............Answer = €4032

**ZOOM TODAY @ 10.30 and 11am **
Work is listed below....!

Hi boys and girls,

I want to compliment you all at this stage for your dedication to making the best out of this really 'unusual' situation. Sitting in class 3/4 weeks ago, possibly feeling sorry for ourselves that we had just missed the ESB science blast exhibition I wonder how many of us would have predicted that you would be reading a daily class blog this morning!!!!!
But as we often speak about in class, we can choose to be 'Glass Half Full'.......we can choose to try and find some silver lining in this dark cloud that is currently passing over us. This outlook or way of thinking must seem very hard for people who are losing their jobs, sick or possibly losing loved ones. Luckily for me, I can only imagine and try to empathise with those who are feeling this hardest.

To any of you whose parents are working as nurses or doctors or anybody who must continue to work at this time, make sure you support them and care for them- look after them with great kindness just as they do for you.

But Easter brings great hope.....so for the next 2 weeks let's rediscover the things that bring us real joy, peace and happiness.
NOT ONLY TO YOU BUT ALSO YOUR LOVED ONES......Maybe your Mam or Dad could do with some help, maybe your younger sibling would enjoy or need a book read to them. 

You are all wonderful young people with a fabulous attitude. You have been so cooperative during our Zoom sessions and have helped yourselves. I am very proud of you all. Have a wonderful Easter. I am already looking forward to my dark chocolate.

Bain taitneamh as an Saoire Cháisc.

​Mr.Aylward

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you

Answers to today's Problems and Brainteasers


Problem 1- Can you get it? Answer is 93. 
Flower+flower+flower=24
24÷3=8
Flower=8
Teddy with bow+teddy with bow+8=26
26-8=18
18÷2=9
Teddy with bow=9
Bow+9+8=21
21-8-9=4
Bow=4
9-4=5
Teddy=5

8 + (17×5)
(4+4 + (5+4+8 × 5)
{Bow+bow + (teddy with bow and flower × teddy}  = 93

Problem 2- Now try this one!! Answer is 23! See below.
3 six sided stars= 18
SO a six sided star = 6
2 four sided blades + 6 =14
SO four sided blade = 4
2 clocks @ 3pm -4 =2
SO clock @ 3pm = 3
3 sided blade is 3/4 of a 4 sided blade
SO 3 sided blade = 3
3pm clock =3 SO 2pm clock =2
6 sided star= 6 SO 5 sided star =5
To finish....SEE LAST LINE.....
Multiplication must be done first SO (2X 10) + 3 =23

Information about Ratio ********** 
A ratio is a way to show a relationship or compare two numbers of the same kind.

We use ratios to compare things of the same type. For example, we may use a ratio to compare the number of boys to the number of girls in your class room. Another example would be to compare the number of peanuts to the number of total nuts in a jar of mixed nuts.

There are different ways we use to write ratios, and they all mean the same thing. Here are some of the ways you can write the ratios for the numbers of B (Boys) and G (Girls):
​
the ratio of B to G
B is to G
B:G


Note that when writing the ratio you place the first term first. This seems obvious, but when you see the question or ratio written as "the ratio of B to G" then you write the ratio B:G. If the ratio was written "the ratio of G to B" then you would write it as G:B

Also, you could compare a mixed bag of 20 fruit as follows:
If it contained 10 apples, 5 oranges, 3 bananas and 2 kiwis then the ratio is.....
10:5:3:2

5. Gaeilge- Click on the button

FINISH TRANSLATION FOR FRIDAY- Check archives please.

6. Spellwell-  UNIT 27

  2. Construct a random nonsense sentence in your mind for each of the 7 words. You can put up to 3 words in 1 sentence! !
  3. SAY it 3 times quietly to yourself.. COVER THE BOOK. Now WRITE the sentence down
  4. Highlight the word.
  5. Now CHECK your words using the book.
  6. Don't forget to correct/fix any errors using a red pen only!!

7. Know Your Ireland

Use your atlas to find the following 8 Irish towns (within 32 counties). I have only given a cryptic clue and one bordering county. I would like everyone to post to the blog.

Now make up 3 of your own. Pair up with a friend on the blog and swap questions and wait for a reply!!

e.g. Noah's one was not high bordering Dublin =   ARK- LOW
1. A part of the leg bordering Dublin
2. A stone fortress and surrounded by water bordering Cork
3. Gaeilge is big beach bordering Kilkenny.
4. Blood and guts bordering Wicklow.
5. Sirens say this bordering Galway
6. Add to Marsh and it is very sweet and tasty bordering Kerry
7. Not short and a make of car bordering Roscommon
8. Very sharp weapons bordering Meath

Hi all,

Conas atá sibh? Tá súil agam go raibh deireadh seachtaine álainn ag gach duine. My weekend brought me back to my childhood with my own children. Walked over fields that I have not trekked through since the huge snow storm of 2018. Anybody interested in reading up on it, feel free to hit the link below.
https://www.met.ie/cms/assets/uploads/2019/02/EmmaReport2019.pdf

Anyway, our walk brought all 5 of us to a part of a river flowing through the 'creek' or mini-valley near the motorway where I, along with my friends, built dams, wooden huts and rafts all those years ago. Fantastic times and memories !!! No time for dams on Saturday though- trying to keep Maggie out of the water was a task in itself. Make sure you all get outside and get creative when you can...It will keep your mind clear and in a healthy place. 

**NO ZOOM TODAY- HOPEFULLY, WE'LL BE BACK TOMORROW, TUESDAY **
