4)  At Christmas time we encourage our pupils to help those less fortunate. Your generosity in recent years in providing a non-perishable food product has enabled St Michael's to donate hampers to St Vincent de Paul, as well as purchase gifts for children with the proceeds for the 'Bring & Buy' sale. We are asking once again for hamper donations to be brought into school from 1st to 5th December so that a hamper may be made up by each class.

We wish you and your family a happy and peaceful Christmas and look forward to meeting you at our seasonal festivities.

Well done to everyone who participated during numeracy week and completed the challenge to design and make a 3D house using everyday, household recyclable materials.

Attendance percentages are always an issue, for both parents and the school, and the following document (found on our 'Key Information' page) from the department of education highlights the non-attendance at school which is deemed to be acceptable. You, as parents, and we the school, are held to account for the attendance of each and every child. If there is a school issue keeping your child from attending, please do not hesitate to contact the school to discuss and work out the problem together.

The department has sent out the following two documents a a reference point as you guide your child through the process of transferring to post-primary, or prepare your child for this big step. The documents can be found on our 'Key Information' page.

Please find attached a list of all the open days/evenings scheduled for pupils starting post primary school in September 2015. Thi document can be found on our 'Key Information' page.

This week is Numeracy week in St Michael's Primary school.

At Home
- I am looking for children to bring in the longest carrot they have (Measurement)
- I am looking for children to bring in the oldest Coin/Note (Money)
- Children can also make a 3D house using everyday, household recyclable materials (Shape)

* These are optional for every year group.

Prizes will be given to each year group for each competition

In School
Apart from normal numeracy lessons, each class have been given number trails questions for outside and inside the school.  We will also have problem solving questions each morning and some games at breaktime.

Good Luck  Mr Duggan
