With the end of our school year comes a sad farewell to our highly esteemed 6th class pupils. Goodbye from all of us in St.Michael’s, you will be sadly missed but we look forward to hearing of all your adventures and achievements in the coming years!
Lots of fun activities took place towards the end of term for very hard-working senior pupils! Huge enjoyment was derived from the tag rugby, water activities and the arrival of the ice-cream van. The popcorn was popping for our end of year party and the craic was even better!
5th and 6th class have been exceptionally busy in our final term with lots of valuable learning achieved in all subject areas. The pupils engaged in projects to investigate a famous explorer, designed and created their own inventions which revealed lots of entrepreneurs in the making not to mention recorded their very own Irish movie videos so Oskars here we come!! They took part in an advertisement competition, made their own 3D planets out of papier maché and engaged in a six week Pilates programme which was a huge success!!
Staff and pupils were full of excitement on Friday 13th of May 2022. It was our first school tour since 2019, so we were delighted to get the opportunity to go on an outing as a whole school again! Our destination this year was Castleblaney Outdoor Adventure Centre.
The children got involved in several physical, mental, skill and water-based challenges. The day was enjoyed by all and everyone arrived home in great form after their fun filled day of activities.
Lots of balanced arguments and debating taking place in 5th & 6th class this week. Well done everyone!!
A surprise guest in 5th & 6th Class today with lots of Easter treats!! Happy Easter everyone!!
On Friday 1st April 2022 we celebrated Autism Awareness Day. Firstly, we recapped on what we had learned last year about autism. We then learned about living with autism from the perspective of Megan, a ten year old girl from Canada whose little brother Matt has autism. We learned a lot from watching Megan go through daily life, and we have definitely taken away some brilliant ways to help make life easier for someone with autism. We also wore blue on the day to support Autism Awareness!
Thank you to all of the boys and girls for taking part.
Congratulations to the 4th, 5th & 6th Class Girls’ Football Team who took part in four games over the last few weeks while taking part in the Cumann na mBunscol School League. Unfortunately we were unsuccessful in going forward to the final but the standard and performance from the girls in all their games was outstanding. Thank you to the coach Darragh Flanagan and to the girls for their dedication and commitment to their team. Well done girls!
5th & 6th Class made the most amazing pom-pom flower bouquets for all the wonderful mammies for Mother’s Day!
Well done to the pupils of 5th & 6th Class who organised, planned and performed a wonderful fashion show as Gaeilge using language learned from our Irish lessons over the last few weeks on the theme of ‘Éadaí’. It was a huge success!
