Today we played Silent Sequence in the GP room. It was difficult to make the row silently! We also played Pairs- trying to take the last pair from the square. We also had a puzzle- change 4 3 2 1 to 1 2 3 4 by moving one counter 😀

This is Maths Week 2025 in St Michael's NS. Our blogs will be updated during the week as we complete maths activities and play maths games.

This week we lit candles and prayed for someone we love in Heaven.

Today we folded paper to make a fox. We were thinking about learning new things. Some people found it easy to follow the instructions but lots of us found it difficult! https://vimeo.com/230617775?fl=pl&fe=sh

5th and 6th Class are keeping up their Farm Safety enthusiasm! This Week’s Focus: Sheep Farming! We joined Annie McGuinnes, a sheep farmer from Co. Louth. She gave us a glimpse into life on her farm and explained how she looks after her sheep in the Cooley mountains.

Look at what our magic potions turned into overnight. No tricks in the Infant room today but lots of treats. Well deserved after a busy few weeks.

Today was farm safety day in our school 🚜 We learned about safety from our teachers and from an Agri-kids zoom. Eirene came to tell us about the work of a vet. Ciara told us what her job is as a veterinary nurse. We also looked at cattle and sheep 🐑 https://www.canva.com/design/DAG2oTL-_vk/XBJM0DyyPnnnGsGvEdzVEA/watch?utm_content=DAG2oTL-_vk&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h679434ebd3 If anyone would like to watch the recorded Agri-kid

Slán go foill and míle buíochas to Gavin for the hurling coaching sessions with the senior classes. We look forward to having him again.

While the senior girls were at their football match last week, some of the boys from their room came to teach us the rules and how to play some board games like scrabble and the cube. Thank you boys. We had great fun.

Some more pictures taken today with the Junior A Championship winners. Thank you for coming to see us. Well done everyone! 👏

Congratulations to the Cloonacool team who won the Junior A final on Saturday night. A huge number of our past pupils came back to visit us with the cup 🏆 A great weekend for our local club 👌

Today we got to hold the big cup Cloonacool won at the weekend. We loved seeing and talking to the players.

We continued working on safety today. We read a set of rules for a pool. Then we completed short safety poems and illustrated them underneath in our sketch pads.

5th and 6th Class enjoyed a Maths Week Quiz on Zoom this afternoon. We had lots of fun.

We have spent time planning and creating in the Infant room. Wait until we are finished...

The completed Halloween pictures are now on display in the GP room. They look very colourful 🎃 👻 🧙‍♀️

We have started our Halloween art. We painted the background today using autumn colours. When they are dry we will paint silhouettes on...

We observed the difference between placing an egg in fresh water and salt water. It proved that objects float better in salt water 💧

We learned a lot of facts about the seilide garraí and other snails this week. They are part of the mollusc family. They are herbivores....

5th and 6th Class had fun making pentomino and hexiamond combinations today during our maths lesson. We used geoboards on the Chromebooks...
