3rd and 4th Class
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!
Wellness Wednesday
During our school closure due to Covid -19, we were very conscious of the impact the virus was causing on our students and whole school community. As both a Health Promoting School and Active School, we decided to introduce an initiative called Wellness Wednesday to support children and families in maintaining fitness and mental health!
Every Wednesday, children and their families were encouraged to get active by choosing an activity from the list of Wellness Wednesday activities provided or doing something active of their own. See below some of the activities our pupils and families got up to!
We also introduced Zoom P.E. as part of Wellness Wednesday, where staff, pupils and their families got active each Wednesday by partaking in fun games and exercises guided by an online coach! To mark the end of our school year, we even held a Zoom Sports Day – which everyone really enjoyed.
World Book Day 2020
We were blown away by the effort made by all the children for World Book Day. They really made their favourite stories come to life. We had a parade to show case all the costumes and the children completed some fun activities in each of the classes.
See all the pictures below including our winners from each class who received a prize!
Well done everyone – We appreciate everyone’s effort to make World Book Day so much fun!
The Winners were: Lauren, Caoilte, Oran, Maggie-May, Calum, Cormac, Lucy and Tom – Well done!
Christmas Fun at School!
We had a very special visitor at school today. The children were very excited to see Santa. They performed some Christmas songs and poems that they have been learning in class. Santa had a gift for every child which can be enjoyed over the holidays.
Our Christmas jumper competition was a success. Well done to all those who made an extra effort, Winners received a beautiful Christmas book – see pictures below.
On behalf of everyone here at St. Michael’s, we would like to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas. See you all in 2020.
