Cumann na mBunscol Success!

Written by

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.

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!!

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!

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!

Prayer Rocks

Written by

I’m a little prayer rock, and this is what I’ll do,

Just put me on your pillow, ‘til the day is through.

 

Then turn back the covers and turn into your bed,

And, whack! Your little prayer rock will bump you on the head.

 

Then you will remember, when the day is through,

To kneel and say your prayers, as you intended to.

 

Because your heavenly Father, cares and loves you so,

He wants you to remember, to talk to him, you know!

 

Can you spot yours?
