Our good friend Larry O’Neill might be best known for property development and architecture, but did you also know that he has a keen eye for fashion and has been involved with designers all over Europe in creating eye catching costumes for the Eurovision song contest.

Here is a sample of what he has created.

Larry’s top tips for creating the perfect outfit for stage:

Page 17: scoilmhuirecampile.comscoilmhuirecampile.com/.../05/6th-Class-18th-May.docx  · Web viewWeek Monday 18th May – 22nd May. Mr. Keating’s 6th class. Eurovision week! What’s another

You can draw your design out (example below) or you can actually try to make it from old clothes or recyclable materials. (Don’t forget to ask permission before you alter any clothes in your house!)

Clothes on stage must be extra eye-catching as there will be lots of

lights. Try to use lots of colour. Try to use anything that reflects light, for example, glitter or shimmery

materials such as tin foil or wrappings from Easter eggs. To make your performer stand out on stage you can make the outfit as

large as you like. The outfit does not have to be functional. That means, you do not need

to think about the performer sitting down or eating their dinner. This outfit is only meant to catch people’s eye when the performer is on stage. It does not have to be comfortable.

A good idea is to think about the song you have written for your performer. If it is a song about the sea, for instance, you could dress the person in a large shell and octopus tentacles with a starfish hat!

The crazier the better! Have fun!

The European UnionThe European Union (EU) is a partnership between certain countries. It was created over 50 years ago. Since then, it has grown from having six to 27 members. Today, over 500 million people live within the EU. The EU has its own parliament, made up of ministers from every EU country. The EU also has its own laws that all member countries abide by. It operates as a single market, which means that people, products and services can move freely between EU countries.

History of the EUAfter the Second World Ear, European leaders were searching for ways to prevent future wars in Europe. A Frenchman called Jean Monnet came up with a very original idea, Monnet thought that if people from various European countries came together to manage the coal and steel industry in Europe, it would be impossible for a country to manufacture guns or tanks in secret.

Page 23: scoilmhuirecampile.comscoilmhuirecampile.com/.../05/6th-Class-18th-May.docx  · Web viewWeek Monday 18th May – 22nd May. Mr. Keating’s 6th class. Eurovision week! What’s another

A French Minister called Robert Schuman thought the idea was brilliant. In 1951, he convinced leaders from France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands to combine their coal and steel industries. In 1957 these six countries expanded beyond shared industry and formed the European Economic Community (EEC). The EEC created a policy that improved farming, they also tried to make the import and export of goods more efficient. Between 1973 and 1986 six more countries joined, including Ireland, who joined in 1973. In 1992 as countries became more and more united, the EEC changed its name to the European Union. The United Kingdom stopped being a member of the European Union on 31st January 2020.

The EU TodayIn the two decades that have passed since the EEC became the EU, 15 more countries have joined, bringing the total to 27.

Maths:Please ensure all work has a heading, date and each question is given the correct number/letter in your copy.Page 182 – Chance (using fractions, decimals and percentages)

To complete the table for Q1 you need to use the digit cards (1-20) at the top of the page. Then you’re asked to write the chance, the fraction, the decimal and the percentage.

The first one (choosing the digit card 6 is already done for you so I’ll show you how to do the next one (choosing the digit card 15):

The chance is 1 in 20 (There is only 1 card with 15 on it & 20 cards in total)

The fraction is 1/20 (I can’t simplify it any further) The decimal is 0.05 (I need to turn my fraction to ?/100, so I need to x by

5- my new fraction is 5/100 & two zeros means two places remember!!) The percentage is 5% (always out of 100 – so when you have converted

the fraction to ?/100 it’s easy get the percentage)Use the examples above to complete the tables for Q1 (digit cards) & Q2 (Marbles)
