Water, Water Everywhere, Try to Save it if YOU Care
Today, we were learning about how to save water. We learned lots of new interesting facts that we did not know before. We made some posters on different ways you can save water in your every day life. We had a lot of fun during this experience and will now be more concious of wasting water. We hope our posters encourage people to save water too.

Primary 6/5 Manifesto Presentations
After gathering the most important issues for their political parties, Primary 6/5 wrote and then presented their manifestos to the rest of the class. They then took a vote to decide upon a winner. The Scottish Lions won the most votes.
Fire Brigade Visit
Primary 1 and Primary 2/1 had a very entertaining afternoon when Cumbernauld Fire Brigade came to St Michael’s. The children were able to go inside the fire engine and had great fun playing with the hose! What an exciting afternoon learning about People Who Help Us.

Voting Day in Primary 6
Recently, we had a special visitor from the Scottish Parliament. She came to teach us about the work of the Scottish Parliament, the role of MSP’s, voting and how it works.
We were put into six groups; Animal Welfare, IT, Music , Save the Earth, Sport and School which became our ‘Political Parties’. We held a mini Election. First we had to elect a Party Leader, then we had to decide what was important to us and finally we had to present our party promises to the class. We listened to what each party had to offer and voted on who we would like to win. After all the votes were counted, the Animal Welfare Party won the election.
It was an exciting day for all of us. We found out things we did not know or had never thought of!
Here are some pictures to show you how fun it was!
PE and Health
The children in the school have been preparing themselves for Sports Day during their PE time through various athletics activities. They are really enjoying practising these skills.
The children are also learning about ways to keep their bodies healthy.
First Holy Communion
Primary 4 are currently preparing for the Sacrament of First Holy Communion and on Monday we attended a retreat. The children were given the opportunity to meditate and reflect on their spiritual journey so far.
