Maths Week 2023 14th – 22nd October in Scoil Mhuire Clane

As part of Maths Week 2023, we will be running a few activities in our school.

Here is some information on these activities.

1.      Maths Quiz- All first year students will take part in our annual maths quiz on Friday 20th October. Second and third year students will take part in a maths class in their maths classes during the week.

2.      Photo Competition- Take a photo and submit it. It sounds easy right? Here’s the catch. You must submit a photo (it can be one you have taken yourself, or one you find online) and have a mathematical question attached to it. For example, you could send in a photo of a group of people and ask the question:

What is the probability that a person selected at random from the group will have brown hair?

Or a photo of a football pitch and ask us to find the area and perimeter of the field

There will be a prize for the best Senior and Junior entry.

Hint: The marks are being awarded for the most creative question asked, so get thinking. You can also submit more than one question with each photo.

Please submit all entries to Ms Clifford before Friday 20th October.

3.      Maths Poster Competition- Design and submit a maths themed poster. This can be in relation to any mathematical concept. The poster can be designed on A4 or A3 sheet.

Please submit all entries to Ms Clifford before Friday 20th October

We are hoping to have as many students as possible take part in our Maths week activities. We will have prizes for all winners.

Get that thinking cap on and best of luck to all entrants!

4.      Spin the Wheel – During Lunch time there will be a spin-the-wheel activity, where students will be given the opportunity to given questions once the wheel stops. The students will work in groups and will be given spot prizes for the correct answers.

5.      Virtual Online Activities – The school has been registered on Maths week. Upcoming Events – MATHS WEEK IRELAND A variety of events can be accessed throughout day on the app, where your class can click into and join to take part.

Dear Parents/ Guardians, Sixth year students are currently being informed of the HEAR and DARE schemes.

Dear Parent/Guardian,

This is a message from our wonderful Student Council Team. They are once again organising our annual Shoebox Appeal. Please see the document attached for all relevant details. The deadline for dropping shoeboxes to Ms. Deschenes or any member of the student Council is Thursday 26th October, we really appreciate your generosity and kindness.

Ms. Deschenes

Well done to our TY Outdoor Education group who planted our nine entrance flower beds with lots of pollinator friendly plants last week. The group are also working on the upkeep of the small woodland that was planted at the back of the school last year and are at the beginnings of developing a school garden. A big thank you to Ken at Green Lane Nurseries for his help in planning and sourcing the plants for us. We would also like to thank the Clane Tidy Towns for their encouragement. We look forward to working with them all on future projects in our school.

Ms. Jenkins
