On Tuesday 13th November 2018, Janette Lynch from Carrickmacross Library visited our school to allow the children to experiment with ‘Spaghetti Engineering’.

Halloween 2018
Everyone had fantastic fun this Halloween in St. Michael’s National School. We took part in ‘Trick or Treat for Temple Street’, raising some much needed funds for Temple Street hospital. We dressed up and played games to wind down after a busy first term.
We held a fancy dress competition; winners are pictured below.
As part of our Active Schools Campaign, we also decided to hold a Halloween themed active event. This included Halloween orienteering, mandarin and spoon races, pass the pumpkin, score the skeleton, spooky musical statues, a broomstick relay, wrap the mummy and hunt the witch. The children had lots of fun taking part!
Well done to everyone for their participation and to our active leaders who helped make the event a success!
Halloween In Our Classroom 2018
Halloween in Our Classroom 2018!
This year we were ‘SPOOKTACULARLY‘ busy in Mrs Mc Guirk’s classroom. We created many pieces of art which can be seen below in our gallery. We played Irish games and sang Irish Songs for ‘Oíche Shamhna’. We created some lovely ‘Cartaí Oíche Shamhna’ and ‘Mascanna’. We looked at Acrostic Poems and Mrs. Mc Guirk was delighted with the creativity shown by her pupils when they wrote some of their own. We learned about Halloween Safety in S.P.H.E. and also learned about the History of Halloween in History! In music, we practised our moves to some Halloween Songs. On the day of our Halloween Holidays we celebrated by dressing up for Temple Street Children’s Hospital and also getting involved in an active Halloween themed event as part of our Active School and Health Promoting School campaign. Pictures of our Halloween dress up for Temple Street and our dress up winners can be seen in our Temple Street Post! Pictures of our active event can be seen on our Active Flag Page. After all this activity, we still had time to make spooky buns and play some fun Halloween Games.
