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!
There was huge excitement in St. Michael’s National School on Wednesday 19th June 2019 as we came together as a school community to raise three very important and well-deserved flags. Both staff and pupils have worked extremely hard and have shown huge dedication and commitment to achieve a flag for Water Conservation and Preservation, a flag for recognition as a Health Promoting School and also a flag for achieving Active School Status. We had a fantastic day gathering together to mark our success.
On the day we also opened our beautiful new friendship garden. A sincere word of thanks to our parent’s association for making our friendship garden possible – your unending support doesn’t go unnoticed!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended the Flag Raising Ceremony and who contributed in any way to making the day a memorable one. A special thank you also to our special guests ‘Hiphopical’ for their fantastic dance display and to Drew Wylie from the Monaghan County Team who raised our three flags for us.
Well done to everyone! Our staff and pupils are very proud to be flying the flags for St. Michael’s N.S. Donaghmoyne.
There was a lot of excitement in one house in Donaghmoyne on Tuesday 18th June when Molly received a letter from none other than Conor McManus! After writing a letter to Conor as part of an English lesson, Molly decided to send it off in the hopes that it would be read by the Monaghan star.
She was delighted to receive a reply and it’s very clear that Conor has high hopes for Molly’s Gaeilic career!
On Wednesday 19th June 2019, the pupils in St. Michael’s National School Donaghmoyne, were very fortunate to have some special visitors come to our school. Stephen from ‘Farmyard in your Schoolyard’ came to visit, and brought along an array of farmyard animals. He talked to the boys and girls about the various animals, including goats, chickens, roosters, guinea pigs, rabbits and even Shaun the Sheep! The children loved having the opportunity to learn lots of interesting facts about these animals, as well as having the chance to pet them.
A word of sincere thanks to our Parent’s Association for organising and funding this fantastic event!
Congratulation to Molly who won first place in the age 10-12 category, and to Maggie who won second place in the age 8-10 category, in the Carrickmacross Festival Colouring Competition.
We are very proud of you both!
Ms Atkinson’s class carried out projects on something of particular interest to them for S.E.S.E. this June. We had some very interesting projects, from local woman Kathy McKeon to footballer Marcelo Vieira!
Well done everyone!
Congratulations to the children from Mrs. Mc Guirk’s first class who were chosen to represent us at the Conor Mc Skeane Memorial Shield Football Blitz.
Well done on your fantastic efforts and congratulations on receiving your two beautiful medals!
It is wonderful to see our school competing in this very special and worthwhile annual event.
In Mrs. Mc Guirk’s room we had a ‘Father’s Day Themed Day’ on Friday 14th June 2019 to celebrate Father’s Day.
We created our own Father’s Day Prayers in religion. We made Father’s Day posters in Gaeilge and we did colour-by-number activities for maths. We listened to various Father’s Day Poems and created some of our own. We sang some Father’s Day themed songs for music and made some Father’s Day clay ornaments and badges in art. We finished our day by learning about some Father’s Day traditions for our history lesson.
Take a peek below at some of our activities…
We would like to remind parents of the school uniform that is expected to be worn daily in St. Michael’s National School.
Our uniform consists of dark grey trousers / skirt / pinafore, a grey t-shirt and a maroon jumper with the school crest. We ask that children do not wear black, navy or patterned trousers, and strictly no labels or logos (e.g. o’neills, nike etc.).
Parents, please make a special effort to ensure that your child is wearing the correct uniform every day.
An example of the appropriate school uniform can be seen below.
