6th Class Graduation and Farewell
We say farewell to an amazing bunch of boys and girls in 6th Class. It was an absolute pleasure to teach you this year and thank you all for the lovely memories you have left with us over the last eight years in St.Michael’s NS. Congratulations on your graduation and the very best of luck to you all as you embark on the next journey in your life to Post-Primary School. Be the best that you can be!!
End of Year in 5th and 6th Class
The last few weeks of this school year were a hive of activity. We took part in the Magical Leaders Programme led by Enterprise Ireland. The boys and girls designed and created amazing 3D constructions. We had a few trips to the park, played Tag Rugby for an afternoon at the football field, enjoyed mouth-watering ice cream from the surprise ice-cream van and we were enthralled by the amazingly talented magician Keith who put on a captivating show for all classes. 5th class did a treasure hunt, made a delicious biscuit cake and had a wonderful summer party. 6th class worked as a team on various outdoor projects including yard painting, planting in our friendship garden and enjoyed their Graduation party and treats following their online end of year ceremony.
Have a wonderful summer boys and girls!!
Collaborative Art in Ms Atkinson’s Classroom
Have a look at Ms. Atkinson’s class’ collaborative art that they completed on Monday 21st June 2021. It was a fantastic art lesson to finish the year on and it turned out beautifully!
Exciting Week in the Infant Classroom
We have had a very exciting week in the infant classroom!
On Wednesday 16th we were very lucky to have Donaghmoyne coaches Oisín and Michael in to teach the children tag rugby. The boys and girls had great fun and learned lots of new skills. Thank you Oisín and Michael!
On Thursday 17th we spent the morning at Donaghmoyne park. We are so lucky to have such an amazing facility right beside our school!
After our morning at the park we held our Sport’s Day. As we didn’t get the chance to hold a Sport’s Day last year, this was a first for both Junior and Senior Infants. The children had a wonderful day!
We spent plenty of time outside enjoying the sunshine!
Magician
We were very lucky on Wednesday 16th June to have a magician come to our school. It was a lovely treat for the boys and girls as we get ready to start our Summer holidays!
Ice Cream at School
We got a lovely surprise today, Friday 18th June, when an ice cream van arrived to our school!
A huge thank you to our Parent’s Association for funding this very special treat for the boys and girls on such a hot Summer’s Day!
First Confession 2021
Thirteen special pupils celebrated the Sacrament of Penance on Tuesday 25th May 2021 in St. Lastra’s Church, Donaghmoyne. Although this year’s First Confession was different than any other, it was no less special and will be one to be remembered with fond memories.
Well done and congratulations to the three boys and ten girls in second class for their respectful and prayerful participation on the morning of their First Confession.
Every one of them should feel very proud of their efforts, both in preparation for and during the ceremony. Both Second Class and First Class sang beautifully and this enhanced the occasion massively.
A huge thank you to Father Daly for celebrating this special occasion with us.
Autism Awareness Day 2021
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!
