Maths Circles for 5th & 6th Classes Maths Circles Ireland focuses on improving the level

of mathematical ability in students throughout their

secondary school career. One of the main aims of the

Junior Maths Circles initiative is to encourage

students to actively participate in mathematics and to

show them that mathematics exists outside of the

textbook and the classroom and that it can be fun and

enjoyable! We have been chosen as a pilot school and

our 5th and 6th classes are currently engaged in some

activity based mathematical games and challenges, for

example Sets, Tangrams, Sequences, Hamiltonian

Circuits and Paths, Tessellations and Tetris, thereby

hoping to increase their appreciation of the subject

and helping to remove preconceived negative

connotations towards mathematics.

Batman Batman flew high.

Up to the sky.

He saw the Joker. And poked him with a poker.

Green Lantern came and made a fist.

And threw the Joker in the mist.

Two Face came from Spain. He decided to inflict some pain.

His body guards went Boom! Boom! Boom!

Batman though he was heading for Dr. Doom.

When suddenly from out of the mist appeared the

face of Dr. Doom

Dr. Doom went Boom! Boom! Boom!

Mé Féin

Amanda is ainm dom. Tá mé dhá bhliain déag d’aois. Ta mé i mo chónaí i

mBord an Mhuilinn. Tá seisear i mo chlann. Caroline is ainm do mo

mháthair. Timothy is ainm do m’athair. Tá beirt deartháireacha agam.

Stephen agus Niall is ainm dóibh. Ta deirfiúr amháin agam. Suzy is ainm di.

Is mise an duine is óige sa chlann. Is é Stephen an duine is sine sa chlann.

Tá dath donn ar mo chuid gruaige. Tá dath gorm ar mo shúile. Tá mé i rang

a sé. Scoil Naomh Bríde is ainm don scoil. Aleisha, Hazel, Amber, Kate,

Shannon agus Léa is ainm do mo chairde. Ar scoil, is maith liom

corpoideachas ach ní maith lion matamaitic. Ní maith liom matamaitic mar

maith liom a bheith ag imirt spóirt. Tá dhá pheata agam. Bell agus Sam is

ainm dóibh. Is madra iad. (Amanda Kennedy, Rang a 6)

Lost and Found

There are numerous items of clothing in our Lost & Found corner at the moment. If

you think you are missing any tracksuit tops, bottoms, jumpers, coats, hats, etc.,

please come in and have a look as all remaining items will be disposed of during

the summer holidays. Again can we please ask that you label all items of clothing

especially with fine weather on the way (hopefully!) as children will be taking off

jumpers etc. and as you can imagine it’s often impossible to match them with their

owner!
