Have you ever seen such beaming smiles before? Not unless you got an ice cream at school from the Ice Cream Van! It goes without saying from these little faces that everyone enjoyed their surprise! Thank you to the Parents Association for organising and funding this.
Here is a small selection of the talented artists in our Infants Class, as they all created masterpieces with Fabric & Fibre… perhaps there are some fashion designers in the making I think?!
In addition, they brought a splash of colour to our classroom with their beautiful sun & rainbow pieces in the final weeks of school.
Congratulations once again to Junior and Senior Infants for completing their fourth and final 8 Rhyme Challenge!
Have a look at Ms. Atkinson’s class’ collaborative art that they completed on Tuesday 25th June 2019. It was a fantastic art lesson to finish the year on and it turned out beautifully!
On Monday 24th June 2019 we were very lucky to have an ice cream van visit our school. This was a wonderful end-of-year reward for the children after all of their hard work during the 2018/2019 school year.
Well done everyone!
Congratulations to our students Annie, Hannah, Millie, Eva, Ella, Kyeira, Céola, Ríbh, Shane, Dylan, Pádraic, Ronan, Gerard and Kevin who graduated from St. Michael’s National School on Monday 24th June 2019.
We are incredibly proud of the fantastic young adults you have become and we cannot wait to hear about all of the amazing things that you do in your future!

We would like to extend our thanks to local man Frank Rooney who visited our school on Thursday 20th June 2019. Frank told the children some very interesting stories about life long ago, going into detail about life at school when he attended St. Michael’s National School. The children really enjoyed hearing about how he used to walk to school barefoot in the Summer time, and how girls were not allowed to play football at lunch time.
The art of storytelling is one that is slowly dwindling and we were very lucky that Frank gave up his time to provide this opportunity for the children.
The boys and girls had great fun on Friday 21st June 2019 when they visited Donaghmoyne park with their teachers.
It is wonderful to have such a fantastic facility right on our doorstep and the children loved spending time with their friends.
On Friday 21st June 2019, we were very fortunate to be offered a free taster session from Bike Green by the Monaghan Sports Partnership. Junior Infants, Senior Infants and First Class got to learn many valuable cycling skills, using balance bikes.
A massive thank you to Seán and Francis for coming to visit us today and providing the children with this fantastic opportunity!
