Well here's a blog post I never thought I'd be writing! I can't be the only one who feels like we're in a movie? Any moment now the day will be saved and the director will yell 'CUT!!'.... but alas, for now, this is real life and unfortunately we're not sure where we are headed, just yet.

One of my favorite IXL features is the amount of effort IXL puts into making sure problems do not repeat. Another is showing how and why we got a problem wrong. IXL has helped me majorly in school and has taught me numerous problem solving skills in math.

Watch clips from important periods in Irish history

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The period 1900-1930 was one of the most turbulent in Irish history, with WW1, the Easter Rising, the War of Independence, the Irish Civil War all taking place. Due to the emergence of cine camera technology in the 1890s these three decades are the first to be widely documented on film. However Ireland's lack of indigenous filmmaking during the early part of the last century, means the moving image record of this pivotal period in history was predominantly captured by non-Irish agencies. Newsreels of Irish events were screened alongside their home-grown stories in cinemas. In the early part of the 20 th century (before the advent of television) newsreels, radio and newspapers were the predominant way for the public to keep up to date with important events.

Until recently these Irish newsreel stories, filmed by British agencies, had not been held in an Irish Archive and many had not been available to the public since their initial distribution 100 years ago. The Decade of Commemorations presented the Irish Film Institute with a unique opportunity to create T he Irish Independence Film Collection, comprising Topical budget and British Pathé newsreels, with support from the Dept of Culture Heritage and the Gaeltacht. As part of this project the IFI was able to repatriate, safeguard and share these important visual documents - centralising them in Ireland for the first time and making them available to the Irish public.

It was essential the IFI Irish Film Archive repatriated the best quality copy of this remarkable material, which so vividly details the political, social and cultural events that shaped the Irish State. Thus, the IFI worked closely with the custodians of these collections (the British Film Institute and British Pathé) to ensure the best preservation outcome for this material. Acutely aware of the age and fragility of these newsreels, we persuaded both organisations to go back to the original nitrate film prints and meticulously digitise them to HD Quality. The quality of the newly digitised footage is remarkable, allowing even those who may be familiar with this material to see it in a whole new light. Details which were previously indistinct are now crystal clear.

In order to add further value to the collection, we enlisted assistance from National Museum of Ireland and University College Cork. Their staff helped to curate and catalogue the content and ensure that the information presented is as accurate as possible with important events, people and locations which were originally missed by non-Irish cataloguers. As part of the national centenary celebrations the Irish Film Institute has created a project that not only celebrates this momentous period in our history but that also has lasting value for the Irish public.

Seomra Ranga (general knowledge quiz everyday)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's now Day 10 and our final Stay-at-Home Quiz. Today, thanks to the generosity of a Seomra Ranga follower, we've got two additional book vouchers to give away so you now have THREE chances to win a €20 Book Voucher. As always, the aim of the quiz is to give pupils something practical to keep themselves occupied during the school lay-off in a practical way.

This is a Free online quiz consisting of 20 questions for pupils to find the answers to. All today's questions are just general knowledge and pupils should be capable of finding the answers online.

To be in with a chance to win one of today's three prizes of €20 Book Vouchers, simply fill in the form below with your details and answer the 20 questions. If you are not sure of the answers, do an internet search and you should be able to find them. It is hoped that parents will not do the quiz for the pupils - the idea is that they will spend a productive period during the day at home.

As before, only one entry per pupil is permitted. Submitting more than one entry per pupil will lead to disqualification. Entries must be submitted by 3pm each day. Entries received after this exact time will not be counted. The final decision rests with the website administrator. The winner will be selected at random (I usually use Random.org) and announced on Twitter (@seomraranga) after this time.

Please make sure that you give a contact email address that you can be contacted on immediately after the competition as people have previously forfeited prizes by not answering their emails promptly! Go n-éirí an t-adh libh!
