We have had lots of fun preparing for Halloween this October.
We learned all about Halloween and discussed our Halloween traditions. We also took part in Aistear based around the theme of Halloween.
In art we created these ‘creepy spiders’ as well as mosaic pumpkins.
We were also very lucky to have Oisín in to teach P.E. on our Halloween dress-up day.
We have had a wonderful week, and wish you all a safe and happy Halloween break!
On Saturday the 9th of October 2021, thirteen amazing children finally got to make their First Holy Communion.
Our entire school community is incredibly proud of each and every one of them. They did our school proud with their prayerful and respectful participation in the mass. They sang their hearts out and we are certain that it will be a day that they will never forget.
What an honour it was to guide such wonderful children on their journey of faith to the sacrament of First Holy Communion.
We would like to say a sincere ‘Thank You’ to Fr. Daly for all his support as we prepared for this special day. He without doubt ensured that the day would be a memorable one for the children.
We hope that your weekend of celebrations was all you wished for and so much more and we wish all thirteen of you every blessing in the future. May God continue to guide you in faith and protect you with his love.
Our wonderful infants used toothbrushes to create these beautiful Autumn Hedgehogs. We learned all about hedgehogs and how they are preparing to hibernate for the Winter.
Congratulations to Willow and Jamie who won the Fáilte Isteach colouring competition back in June 2021. These two were delighted to receive their wonderful prizes.
Well done to our infants on their first art lesson. Amazing work everyone!
We say farewell to an amazing bunch of boys and girls in 6th Class. It was an absolute pleasure to teach you this year and thank you all for the lovely memories you have left with us over the last eight years in St.Michael’s NS. Congratulations on your graduation and the very best of luck to you all as you embark on the next journey in your life to Post-Primary School. Be the best that you can be!!
The last few weeks of this school year were a hive of activity. We took part in the Magical Leaders Programme led by Enterprise Ireland. The boys and girls designed and created amazing 3D constructions. We had a few trips to the park, played Tag Rugby for an afternoon at the football field, enjoyed mouth-watering ice cream from the surprise ice-cream van and we were enthralled by the amazingly talented magician Keith who put on a captivating show for all classes. 5th class did a treasure hunt, made a delicious biscuit cake and had a wonderful summer party. 6th class worked as a team on various outdoor projects including yard painting, planting in our friendship garden and enjoyed their Graduation party and treats following their online end of year ceremony.
Have a wonderful summer boys and girls!!
Have a look at Ms. Atkinson’s class’ collaborative art that they completed on Monday 21st June 2021. It was a fantastic art lesson to finish the year on and it turned out beautifully!
We have had a very exciting week in the infant classroom!
On Wednesday 16th we were very lucky to have Donaghmoyne coaches Oisín and Michael in to teach the children tag rugby. The boys and girls had great fun and learned lots of new skills. Thank you Oisín and Michael!
On Thursday 17th we spent the morning at Donaghmoyne park. We are so lucky to have such an amazing facility right beside our school!
After our morning at the park we held our Sport’s Day. As we didn’t get the chance to hold a Sport’s Day last year, this was a first for both Junior and Senior Infants. The children had a wonderful day!
We spent plenty of time outside enjoying the sunshine!
