Halloween 2019
It’s very spooky here in school today!
Check out our fantastic efforts below…
Maths Week 2019
As part of Maths Week (12th -20th October), Mrs McGuirk’s room participated in various events associated with the theme ‘Keeping Active’ both physically and mentally. Children participated in active number rhymes with actions. We continued with our Malin to Mizen head walking challenge. We participated in number orienteering and we also completed a maths trail. We played lots of games in class too, using our interactive whiteboard and concrete materials. Thanks boys and girls for your ACTIVE participation.
Timeless Memories in 1st, 2nd and 3rd Class
In our History Lessons (Myself and My Family and Change and Continuity), we have been learning bout the changes we go through during different time in our lives. The children put in lots of effort gathering information and writing about the important milestones in their lives. They then told the class about them in the ‘This is My Life Chair’.
Bricfeasta sa Seomra Ranga 2019
We had great fun speaking Irish today and having our breakfast together in Mrs. Mc Guirk’s Room. We practiced our vocabulary (fóclóir) while having some ‘Bia Blasta’.
Football Coach in Our School September / October 2019
Our children continue to focus on Health Promotion and continue to practice our Active Flag Initiative as they take part in soccer skills with Euan Treanor during September and October. Have a look at some of their activities below!
Thanks to Euan for visiting our school and sharing his knowledge and expertise with us.
Ice-Cream at School!
Have you ever seen such beaming smiles before? Not unless you got an ice cream at school from the Ice Cream Van! It goes without saying from these little faces that everyone enjoyed their surprise! Thank you to the Parents Association for organising and funding this.
Have a Fantastic Summer!
Have a fantastic summer everyone! Congratulations on a great years work – Relax and enjoy the well deserved break!
From Mrs. Mc Guirk
Best of Luck 3rd class as you continue on your journey to fourth class!
Schools in the Past
We would like to extend our thanks to local man Frank Rooney who visited our school on Thursday 20th June 2019. Frank told the children some very interesting stories about life long ago, going into detail about life at school when he attended St. Michael’s National School. The children really enjoyed hearing about how he used to walk to school barefoot in the Summer time, and how girls were not allowed to play football at lunch time.
The art of storytelling is one that is slowly dwindling and we were very lucky that Frank gave up his time to provide this opportunity for the children.
Bike Green – Monaghan Sports Partnership
On Friday 21st June 2019, we were very fortunate to be offered a free taster session from Bike Green by the Monaghan Sports Partnership. Junior Infants, Senior Infants and First Class got to learn many valuable cycling skills, using balance bikes.
A massive thank you to Seán and Francis for coming to visit us today and providing the children with this fantastic opportunity!
