On Friday 30th November 2018, Annie, Molly and Maggie were graded in kickboxing. Annie received her brown belt, Molly received her purple belt and Maggie received her green belt.
Annie and Molly then had a kickboxing fight on Sunday 2nd December, with Annie receiving a silver medal and Molly receiving a bronze.
The girls attend kickboxing classes in Carrickmacross every week and have made fantastic progress over the past few years.
Well done girls!
On Tuesday 4th December 2018, the children from Ms. Atkinson’s room had the opportunity to help plant some lovely fruit trees in our new friendship garden. All children in the school then got to put their name on a tree which they will watch grow as they progress through the school. Our friendship garden was organised by the Parent’s Association and is a very welcome addition to our beautiful school. The children really enjoyed being a part of this very worthwhile event.
We would like to thank our parent’s association for organising our garden, as well as Paul and Russell from Callan’s Garden Centre Donaghmoyne for their help on the day. We can’t wait to enjoy the fruits of our labour!
To further encourage friendship and its importance in our school (as part of our Mental Health and Well-being Initiative), we held a ‘Friendship Slogan’ and ‘Acrostic Poem’ Competition. This was to encourage children to think about friendship and what a ‘good friend’ is.
We had lots of fantastic entries! Our chosen poem and slogans that represent the meaning of friendship can be seen below. Well done to all of the children that entered!
On Monday 3rd December 2018, the children of St. Michael’s National School travelled to The Garage Theatre in Monaghan to see ‘Little Bo-Peep’s Christmas Mix-Up’. We all had a fantastic day!
Congratulations to Eva (sixth class) who will take part in ‘The Late Late Toy Show’ for the second time on Friday 30th November 2018.
Best wishes on the night Eva!
Science Week is an annual event that took place from the 11th to the 18th of November 2018. On Tuesday 13th November 2018, Janette Lynch from Carrickmacross Library visited our school to allow the children to experiment with ‘Spaghetti Engineering’. The children really enjoyed making various structures from spaghetti, marshmallows and hot glue. Have a peek below at some of their efforts. Well done everyone for taking part!
Have a look at some of the P.E. we have been doing this year!
