Energy Efficiency

Laurence from Bryson House Energy visits to talk to P5/6/7 about Energy Efficiency. The children discovered how to preserve energy around their homes and at school and got to sample some of the materials that are used in making our homes more energy efficient.

Trocaire Fundraiser

The recent Trocaire fundraiser made £100.00. Well done to all the pupils who came in for the day dressed up as what they would like to be when they grow up. We had nurses, firemen, pop stars and even some future Liverpool players. Here we have Miss Carragher's class enjoying the day.

Well Done Conor!

Congratulations to Conor Davidson in P.7 who represented the school at half time in the Armagh v Cork match at the Athletic Grounds.

Credit Union Quiz

The school were represented by two teams in the annual Credit Union Quiz in Dorsey Community Center on Friday night. The P6 acquitted themselves well in a very strong field and our P7 team acquired a prize as they finished a credible 3rd. Well done to all concerned.

New Term, New Clubs!

The after school clubs for this term are in full swing with something on offer for all classes. The New cookery club for P1/2 started this week with the lovely smell of cooked buns filling the corridors and classrooms! Tag Rugby is available on Wednesdays for our P5-7 children and our P3/4 children have a Get Active club on Tuesdays. Parents are not being left out either as our new class for the Parents Computer club also started this week. All classes are free courtesy of the Extended schools scheme.

St. Michael's tops Santa's list for 2011

Santa was a very welcome visitor to our school before the Christmas Holidays. He took time out of his busy schedule to officially open our new soft surface playground and visit all the classes to deliver a gift to each pupil. Many thanks go out to the local Firemen who kindly gave Santa a lift in one of the Fire Engines as the reindeer were too busy getting ready for Christmas. The local press were in attendance to capture Santa's visit and great pictures are in the current editions of the Crossmaglen Examiner and Armagh Down Observer.

Snow Pictures

The playground may be out of bounds for breaktime as it's covered in snow but P6/7 saw this as a great opportunity for some Winter Art.

Carols in the Clinic!

Our P6/7 class paid a visit to the Newtownhamilton Health Centre on Monday 12th December to sing Carols for the Elderly. The class sang songs ranging from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer to Away in a Manger. The morning was topped off with two dances by Oran, our Champion Irish Dancer. A big thank you to the clinic for providing refreshments for the children and after the day's success this could now be an annual event!
