This week we looked at the science of sound and vibrations. We have been investigating how paper cup phones work. Children discovered that they work by transmitting sound vibrations along a tightly pulled string. The children tested which materials would be best to make their own paper cup phones and had great fun testing them out!
We were all very excited in Ms Atkinson’s classroom last month when we managed to fix the interactivity on our whiteboard. The children have really enjoyed playing Maths, English and S.E.S.E. games using the whiteboard this month. Check out the photos below to see some of the children practicing their times tables by playing ‘Hit the Button’.
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!

Congratulations to St. Michael’s National School boys football team who came second in their division in the Cumann na mBunscol league. They displayed great skill and sportsmanship in the final, where they were defeated by Deravoy National School on Saturday 20th October. We would like to congratulate the boys, who will go down in history as one of the only teams from St. Michael’s National School to make it to the final. The boys produced an outstanding performance, of which they should be very proud!
We would like to thank everyone who came out on the day to support the boys. Also, a special word of thanks to Peter Boylan for his commitment in training the boys.
