Cumann na mBunscol Success!
Congratulations to St. Michael’s National School boys football team who came second in their division in the Cumann na mBunscol league. They displayed great skill and sportsmanship in the final, where they were defeated by Deravoy National School on Saturday 20th October. We would like to congratulate the boys, who will go down in history as one of the only teams from St. Michael’s National School to make it to the final. The boys produced an outstanding performance, of which they should be very proud!
We would like to thank everyone who came out on the day to support the boys. Also, a special word of thanks to Peter Boylan for his commitment in training the boys.

Humpty Dumpty
HUMPTY DUMPTY
Infants worked really hard a few weeks ago to put Humpty Dumpty back together again…It was a challenging task but they did a miraculous job!!!
Maths Week in Infants
Maths Week in the Infant Classroom was a huge success! The children participated in a variety of activities including skip counting from 2 to 30 as they skipped, and marching and jumping to the accompanying music. They also chanted number rhymes with our rhyme of the week being one of our favourites, Two Little Dickie Birds. The children also worked impressively in pairs to engage in our Maths Trail at the end of the week. Well done to all for their participation and effort!!
Maths Week 2018
To celebrate maths week 2018, Ms Atkinson’s class focused on improving their mental maths through various classroom games and activities. We ended our maths week by completing a maths trail inside the school grounds. This allowed children the opportunity to see maths in the world around them. Well done to all of the children for their fantastic effort!
Lego WeDo
WeDo is a primary education resource developed for primary school pupils as an introduction to control technology and programming using robotics. It’s a fantastic, simple-to-use tool that enables pupils to learn by constructing their own models and bringing them to life.
Ms Atkinson’s class were lucky to have the opportunity to use WeDo numerous times throughout the month of October. Great fun was had by all!
Autumn Art
One of our art lessons this October used fabric and fibre. We created Autumn trees that highlighted the various colours that can be seen in Autumn.
Roman Pottery
On completion of our S.E.S.E. theme ‘Ancient Rome’, Ms Atkinson’s class designed and created their own Roman-inspired pottery using clay.
