Forest Fun

We had a fantastic afternoon down in the forest making dens.  We worked well as a group to collect the materials we required and using them to make our den.  We showed great problem solving skills on how to hold up parts of our dens.

The only criteria Miss Wilson gave us was to make sure our den had a roof and a seating area for everyone in the group to sit on.  I am sure you can see, we were very creative with some groups creating beds to sleep in, fires to keep warm and decorative items such as flowers!

Today, Primary 5 and Primary 6 took part in a fantastic outdoor activity day at Broadwood Stadium for their Summer trip.  They took part in Tennis, Athletics, Orienteering, Team Building and BMX biking.   The rain didn’t stop them enjoying their day!

Tonight our children shone like stars for this evening’s performance of the ‘Lion King’.  What wonderfully talented pupils we have at St. Michael’s.  We are bursting with pride and we are looking forward for another great night tomorrow!

Only a week to go!

Well done to Dylan O’Hara for designing this fantastic illustration for the front cover of the programme!

Life Cycle of a Butterfly

Primary 2 have been learning all about the life cycle of a butterfly. They have been experiencing this first hand  in the classroom watching their caterpillars turn into cocoons, then into a chrysalis, finally turning into beautiful butterflies!

They took the butterflies down to the forest to  release them.
