Maths Week took place from the 16th – 20th October in St Kilian’s. Huge thank you to Ms O’Sullivan for organising a number of fun mathematical events for our pupils and to the student council for helping out. Read on and have a look at the photos below!

Maths Week Report by Alexa, Ms Reilly’s 6th Class

For Maths week we did loads of different types of things.

We did a Maths quiz with all the three sixth classes. It was fun. There were loads of stages but we did things like adding fractions and seeing how many jugs of oil could fill a car by adding the numbers in our head. We did an Ed Sheeran one where we had to guess his age, they gave us when he was born and then 2022 we had to guess in between those two years, that was fun.

We also played board games and there was things like bingo and there were shapes like triangles and squares (tangrams) and we had to make a big square out of those shapes. We had lots of fun with that and my favourite one was the tangram one because it was challenging but in the end I eventually got it.

 Stress Balls

For science we made stress balls. It was a balloon with sand in it.

We made it to give us our resting beat, which is when our heart beats slow down.

This is how we made it and this is what you need to make it:

• Balloon
• Sand
• Pencil
• Markers
• Empty plastic bottle

1.Ask an adult to cut the bottom off the plastic bottle.

2.Inflate the balloon and then let the air out again.

3.Pull the opening of the balloon over the neck of the bottle.

4.Fill the funnel of the bottle with sand.

5.Use a pencil to push the sand into the balloon until it is almost full.

6.Remove the funnel and tie the balloon.

7.Using markers, decorate the balloon with faces or any design that appeals to you.

8.Enjoy relaxing with your stress ball!
