Our infants were so excited on Tuesday 1st March 2022 as we begun our six-week cooking/baking block. Week one happened to fall on Pancake Tuesday so we decided to make some yummy pancakes! We learned all about following a recipe, and how to measure the ingredients. Our infants did an amazing job baking, and sampling, their recipe!
Our infants have been working hard this January learning all about Winter. Have a look at some of the art projects we completed as part of our learning!
Our wonderful infants learned all about St. Brigid on 1st February 2022. We then made these beautiful St. Brigid’s cloaks using fabric.
The past few weeks have been packed with fun, excitement and creativity in the infant classroom. The children engaged in a variety of different Christmas activities, such as learning Christmas rhymes, singing songs as Gaeilge, and learning about Christmas traditions. We also learned all about Advent and the Christmas Story.
We enjoyed completing a variety of Christmas art projects. The children made Christmas Tree decorations from clay, Santa masks and Christmas cards for their parents.
We had lots of fun rehearsing for our Christmas Concert – the infants put on an amazing show! All of the boys and girls in Junior and Senior Infants are on Santa’s good list this year and so we are now eagerly awaiting Santa’s visit… only a few more sleeps to go!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Well done to all of the boys and girls who took part in our Read-A-Thon. You raised an incredible €1400 to purchase books for our school.
Every child who returned a sponsorship card was then entered into a raffle for a €50 Smyths Voucher. Congratulations to our winner Seán – happy spending!!
Food Dudes is an award winning curriculum-linked evidence-based healthy eating programme, developed to encourage children to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables. It is based on repeated tastings of fresh fruit and vegetables, rewards and positive role models.
The boys and girls were delighted to take part again this year, and enjoyed plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Well done everyone!
We were very lucky on Monday 13th December to have a visit from the one-and-only Santa Claus. The children got to tell Santa what they want for Christmas, and received a beautiful photo and gift. What a special start to the week!
Thank you to our Parent’s Association for making it all possible!
Our infants have been learning all about Winter since our return from mid-term break.
Have a look at the beautiful Winter hats that the children created!
We had great day on 22nd October 2021 celebrating Halloween in St. Michael’s National School. The children dressed up and each class had a Halloween party. We took part in Trick-or-Treat for Temple Street and raised €170 for this very worthy cause, well done everyone!
We also held a socially-distanced fancy dress parade and fancy dress competition. Congratulations to our winners – Lucas, Calum, Calum, Anna, Saoirse, Tom, Liam and Cassie.
Well done to everyone on an amazing first term! We look forward to seeing you all in November!
We have had lots of fun preparing for Halloween this October.
We learned all about Halloween and discussed our Halloween traditions. We also took part in Aistear based around the theme of Halloween.
In art we created these ‘creepy spiders’ as well as mosaic pumpkins.
We were also very lucky to have Oisín in to teach P.E. on our Halloween dress-up day.
We have had a wonderful week, and wish you all a safe and happy Halloween break!
