There was great celebrations during Book Week last week.

We hope all children enjoyed engaging with our READ-A-THON – it was a great success!  By taking part, children can hugely benefit from the tremendous power of reading in many different ways!  Together with our Parent Association, the school aimed to raise funds to purchase new books for our school library. We are delighted to announce that the unbelievable amount of €10,092.97 has been collected.  Huge thanks to all our boys and girls for participating in this event. All our children enjoy and benefit from dedicated reading time in the library each week.  It is fantastic to be in a position to keep our library stocked and updated with new books. Many thanks to you all for your support. Thanks to Ms. Carroll and Ms. Reilly for helping make Book Week such an enjoyable experience for all.

 

A range of exciting activities were organised for all class levels during World Book Week.

  • Each day, a member of our Student Council read a quote over the intercom.
  • Each morning: ‘DEAR’ (Drop Everthing And Read) Time.
  • Author Gerry Daly had a workshop with Senior Infants and 2nd Classes on Monday.
  • Librarian and storyteller Jennifer Kestell visited each Junior Infant class and Author Anne Suggs had workshops with 1st Classes.
  • Author Alan Nolan is completed workshops with 3rd and 6th Classes.
  • Author Rod Smith completed workshops with 4th and 5th classes.
  • On ‘World Book Day’ the children were invited to dress up as a book character or their favourite author.

Parking With The Cars!

A big thanks to the teachers and pupils in 5th class who helped to make the Parking with the Cars video. The boys and girls constructed many of the cars with the help of their teachers and SNA Rosemary Duff.  A special mention to our Judges and presenters played by Oisín Reid, Elizabeth Best , Cormac McGuirk, Lily Spylczyn and Katie Derrick.  Lily Gibson, Sam Kavanagh and Dylan McLauglin were part of our rapping crew.  Well done to all the other pupils who played the roles of drivers and pedestrians. A big thanks to Ms. R. Walsh for filming and editing the video and to Mr. Mullarkey for co-ordinating the video.

The aim of this video is to guide parents/guardians with the use of our set down area as we have ongoing safety concerns in this area.   We hope you enjoy the video and take extra care to park with care, using our set down area in a manner that is safe for everyone in St. Mochta’s National School community. Check the video out here.

Ash Wednesday – The Beginning of Lent

We gathered in the halla this week to celebrate Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. Ms. Farrell used a visualiser to show the children the ashes and holy water being mixed together. The children had fantastic Lenten Promise ideas. Some of our teachers distributed ashes to the children and staff of our school.

Our Christmas Tree 2024

All our boys, girls and staff enjoyed a celebration of hymns and songs around the Christmas tree. We bought a new 12 ft tree for the occasion and each child was invited to create their own decoration for the tree.  With 9,000 lights and 835 decorations, our tree looks AMAZING!!  Special thanks to Darren for all of his work on the tree. Take a look at this video of our fabulous tree!

In November We Remember

At this month’s assembly we spoke about All Saints Day and All Souls Day. Together, all the children in the school created a Remembrance Tree. Each class wrote the names of their loved ones who have passed away on a card. The children took it in turns to hand their class card on the tree. Our Remembrance Tree will be on school altar in the Reception for the month of November.

Maths Week

The students and staff really enjoyed Maths Week at St. Mochtas last week. The theme of the week was MATHS TALK and we all worked hard to notice Maths around us and use Maths language as much as possible. Everyone at school completed the “Maths is important because…” activity and shared their ideas on an interactive display at the school entrance. It was fantastic to see children thinking outside the box at all the ways Maths is used every day! Our school yard was decorated with chalk showing all the work we have been doing on shape, pattern and even geometry! Infants loved their Pumpin investigation and were very busy estimating and measuring. 1st and 2nd Class took part in the Maths Eyes Competition and created amazing posters of Maths all around us! The Senior End of the school took part in Maths quizzes in the school hall, and ofcourse the Chess Tournament! The Tournament is still ongoing to crown the Chess Champion of St. Mochtas! Classes also decorate their doors with Maths and the judges are very busy deliberating to choose the winning door! There was lots of fun and prizes (including a teacher puzzle competition!) but the highlight of the week had to be the Sweet Jar Count! All of the children lodged their estimates but the winning class was Mr. Boner’s 6th Class with a guess of 227 (just 13 off the correct answer of 240 sweets). We hope everyone enjoyed all of the Maths Week adventures and don’t forget – MATHS IS ALL AROUND US!

The Boy’s football team have had a good start to the season putting in 3 impressive performances in the group stage.

May Assembly

We gathered in the hall for a very special assembly. May is the month of Mary. The children really enjoyed learning more about Mary and seeing our May Altar.

Ms. Farrell also had great news to share with the children! The Inspectorate of the Department of Education conducted a Curriculum Evaluation in our school in April.  The purpose of the visit was to evaluate provision for the subject of English.  A team of 3 inspectors visited our school on both days. As part of the evaluation, the Inspectorate also conducted a short focus-group discussion with pupils in 6th class. We were so delighted with the feedback we received from the Inspectorate – a day off homework was well deserved!

A special visit from the Sam Maguire

We were so delighted to welcome the Sam Maguire into our school! The lucky members of the school GAA teams took part in a Q&A session with two of the Dublin players Sean Forker and Greg McEneaney and then Sam was brought on a tour of the school. Hopefully we have some future county players in the making!

Quiz Team

Congratulations and well done to our four fantastic quiz teams who represented St. Mochta’s on Monday 29th January in the Credit Union Schools Quiz 2024.

Our teams were:
– U11: James, Aoife, Cian and Mike
– U11: Samuel, Éamonn, Charlotte and Cormac
– U13: Lauren, Aleisha, Maria and Sarah
– U13: Laoise, Orla, Hugo and Seán

The teams did excellently well on the night. Competing against 50 other teams, they faced very tricky questions including:

– The Webb Ellis cup is awarded to the World Cup winners in which sport?
– What was the surname of the Scottish chemist who patented the waterproof material used in the making of raincoats?
– In what section of an orchestra would you expect to find a Cor Anglais?
– Found in the human body, cerumen is a sticky substance better known as what?

We are most proud of their excellent teamwork skills and how well they worked together. We are thrilled for one of our Under 11 teams – James, Aoife, Cian and Mike – who placed 1st in their category and will go on to represent our school at the next round in March. Comhghairdeas mór libh!

Catholic Schools Week 2024 – Grandparents Day

We were delighted to welcome the Grandparents of Junior Infants into our school on Wednesday this week. It has been 5 years since we had Grandparents Day! The current 4th Class welcomed their grandparents in 2019! The Junior Infants were so proud and excited to show their classrooms and some of their work to their grandparents. The Grandparents enjoyed a cup of tea afterwards in the hall. Thanks to Parents Association and to 4th Class for the decoration of the hall.

Our Amazing Library Mural

Our school is lucky to have a beautiful library, in which we have carefully curated a wide selection of books, to ensure every reader is provided for. It is space in which the children can learn to appreciate the gift of reading. Each week the children have time here to select and read a book that appeals to them.

Last month, the final touch was added to the walls of our library – an incredible mural! This mural has made the library an even more magical place. It’s walls are covered in bright illustrations of so many well-known book characters. The children were involved in this design every step of the way!

We would like to thank all those involved. Our Creative School’s Co-ordinator Valerie Haslam, who guided and supported us on this journey. Our Creative Schools Teacher’s Committee, who worked with our teaching staff to make certain that every child was involved in the mural’s design. Our Creative Schools Student’s Committee who worked tirelessly to ensure that the voice of our children was heard in every decision and reflected in the mural.

Finally, we must thank All Out Design, who patiently listened to every request and suggestion and used their incredible talents to make our mural come to life! We know that that this mural will be enjoyed by all the children of St. Mochta’s now and for many years to come!

National Tree Day 2023

“The theme this year is: ‘Nuts about Nature’ – ‘Fiáin chun Dúlra’, and what better tree to champion the theme than the Hazel tree – also known as Corylus avellana or Crann Coll.
We planted a Hazel Tree Sapling in the yard this afternoon to mark National Tree Day.

Nore Valley Park Incubator Project

The school is participating in an Incubator Project run by Nore Valley Park Farm. Over the past few weeks, all our boys and girls have been learning from video links, and in a very real way by seeing with their own eyes, the lifecycle of a chick!
Our first chick hatched at 1.36am on Tuesday 13th June followed by another four chicks later in the day. All our boys and girls have had the opportunity to visit and view the chicks.

Our Official Opening – What a celebration!

Last Friday, our new school building was officially opened by An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar TD and blessed by Most Rev. Dermot Farrell D.D. Archbishop of Dublin.
From early morning when all our children arrived on the yard at 8.50am with a souvenir commemorative flag, we knew this was going to be a unique day as there was great excitement. A drone flew over all of our girls, boys and staff recording a video to start this special day.
Invited guests began to arrive from 10.00 am. Visitors were met by our Student Council and were provided with a guided tour towards the school hall. On route to the hall, our Student Council show-cased the Per Cent for Art work on display on the corridors and provided guests with an overview of our school.
Eight children from each class level witnessed An Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, cut a red ribbon at the school signifying the start of the official part of our celebrations. The theme for the day was ‘Reeling in the Years’. Each class group prepared a song representing a decade starting with the sixties. Our guests were blown away by the performances of our students.
Sincere thanks to everyone involved. As you can imagine, it takes an incredible amount of work to organise such a successful event. We are extremely proud of how the whole day went.

The school has been overwhelmed with compliments from our guests who were in awe of the performances of our children. It was difficult for them to imagine how the whole school participated in our official ceremony with such ease, professionalism and fun. Great credit is due to our staff but, of course, most praise must go to the stars of our official opening, our boys and girls! Without them, this event would not have been such a success and so enjoyable. Thank you for your efforts. We are incredibly proud of you.

On Monday 30th January, 4 teams from St. Mochta’s took part in the Credit Union School Quiz. Competing against 50 other teams, our boys and girls did such an amazing job and we are so very proud of them. Our four teams were:
– Dan McNamara, Rafael Monteiro, Daniel Connolly and Charlie Rowe
– Laoise Faherty, Cian Lawlor, Tom Farrell and James Plower
– Justin Bi, Jack Fitzpatrick, Cian O’Sullivan and Orla Hughes
– Katie Foran, Erin Hunt, Louis O’Connor and Daisy Parker

Some of the questions asked were particularly tricky, such as:
– What surname was shared by the literary sisters Charlotte, Emily and Ann?
– The eustachian tube extends from the throat to what part of the body?
– In what year did Adolf Hitler become the chancellor of Germany?

One of our teams – Laoise Faherty, Cian Lawlor, Tom Farrell and James Plower – came in 1st place in the Under 11 category with a phenomenal score of 54/60. This means they go through to the next round. We look forward to supporting them at the next stage and wish them the best of luck!
