Dear boys,
Please find below the work for the week. The maths this week gets more challenging so we have kept everything else quite basic so that you can focus your time on the maths.
We've only a few weeks left boys so please keep trying to do a bit of work everyday. Everything you do now will help you next year, we're at the stage now where you're refining your work, improving the quality and bringing it to the next level.
Ms. McBride and I plan to spend your last week of school 15th - 18th of June preparing you guys for secondary school. We plan to cover class timetables, organising your bag and locker, homework & study tips and also how to manage your well-being at that time. We know there is an online workshop designed for pupils of 6th class costing around €30 but we think we will cover much of that during your last week with us. If you do want the link to that workshop email us!
Any issues or questions please contact us at [email protected].
Kind regards
G. Mullen

Today you are building on the work of both last week and the last two days. You will be working out the cost price or selling price when given what the profit or loss was. Losses are marked in brackets. It is REALLY IMPORTANT with these sums that you figure out how much (what fraction) is the number you're working with. Usually we say the cost price is 100% and the selling price is 100% + %profit. Look at the tutorial for help and remember your RUDES strategy. You can use a calculator.
