Seachtain Na Mata - 13-21 Deireadh Fómhair 2012

Tá daltaí Ghaelscoil Uí Riada ag glacadh páirt an-ghníomhach i “Seachtain na Mata” i mbliana agus imeachtaí eagraithe sa scoil agus lasmuigh.  Mar a deir an fógra “Tá na Mata mórthimpeall orainn” agus beidh na daltaí ag fiosrú é sin.

I measc na himeachtaí a bheidh ann ná ” Tóraíocht Mata” timpeall clóis na scoile le ceisteanna a oireann do na daltaí óga. Beidh ranganna eile ag imirt i gComórtais Mata ar-líne i gcoinne daltaí i scoileanna eile .  Tá ” Fadhb an Lae” eagraithe mar dhúslán do gach rang agus beidh daltaí eile ag fiosrú mar gheall ar matamaiticeoirí cáiliúla – ina measc George Boole as Corcaigh.  Beidh Rang 6 ag tabhairt cuairt ar an Lifetime Lab ar Bóthar na Laoi, áit a ghlacfaidh siad páirt i gceardlann Mata bunaithe ar an mata timpeall orainn sa saol laethúil.  Tá pictiúirí den rang anseo agus iad i mbun oibre ag an gceardlann.  Buíochas le gach éinne a ghlac páirt sna himeachtaí.

Pupils in Gaelscoil Uí Riada are taking a very active part in “Maths Week 2012” all this week -with many events organised in school and outside. As the poster claims- “Maths is all around Us” – pupils will be endeavouring to discover the truth of this statement.

Among the activities will be a Maths Trail based on the school yards and discovering some maths to be found there- this activity will be for the younger pupils. Others will be participating in on-line Maths competitions against other pupils in school and outside.  There will also be a stimulating ” Problem of the Day” – designed to stimulate debate and discussion, while other pupils will be investigating the lives of some famous mathematicians- including George Boole , who lived and worked in Cork.

  Rang a 6 will be travelling to the Lifetime Lab on Lee Road to participate in a Mathematics Workshop based on maths all around us and with a fun, hands -on approach.  Many thanks to all pupils and teachers who are participating in the weeks activities.
