Autism Awareness Day 2021

Written by

There was a sea of blue in St. Michael’s N.S. on Friday 16th April as we celebrated our first annual Autism Awareness Day on Friday 16th April. The children in each class took part in various lessons throughout the day to raise awareness about autism. They learned what autism is, how to communicate with someone with autism, and how we could make school life easier for someone with autism. We wore blue on the day in support of autism awareness.

We also completed a whole-school collaborative art project which you can view below. The puzzle pattern reflects the complexity of the autism spectrum. It also shows that although we all have different personalities and abilities, we all fit together to create one amazing school community.

The children engaged really well and learned a lot! Well done boys and girls!

We had a very special visitor to our school on the 26th March.. The Easter Bunny! The Easter Bunny brought Easter eggs for all of the children; it was such an exciting end to the school term.
A huge thank you to our Parent’s Association who managed to contact the Easter Bunny to arrange the visit.
Wishing you all a safe and happy Easter break!

What a busy start to the year it has been in 3rd and 4th class. We have all been getting to know each other and we have settled into our new classroom.

The boys and girls have been working really hard, but have been having great fun too!

Maths

Maths has been all about adding and subtracting, and we have even challenged ourselves with some multiplication and division too.

The children have been revising all of their times tables and we are currently holding a bit of challenge to see who really knows them all.

Literacy

We are enjoying reading Charlotte’s Web and look forward to watching the movie once we have completed the book.

PE

The children have been enjoying GAA with Cillian every Tuesday with games and skills.

Art

There are many budding artists in our room. See some of the masterpieces we have created below.

We received a lovely delivery of brand new board games to our room  – a great addition for Golden Time!
