LATEST NEWS

christmas fun days!

Class fun days are in full swing this week. The children are enjoying Art Competitions, Talent Shows, InterClass Quizzes via Zoom, dancing and of course, the big hit this year, the Helix Panto. Thankfully the safety measures we have in place do not prevent us from having lots of fun, in a safe way.

Thanks to our wonderful Parents’ Association for supplying prizes for the various competitions, and for funding the Panto – a highlight of the Fun Days this year. The PA have also organised a novelty competition this year – a Door Decorating competition. Each class have worked together to come up with a design for their classroom door (all top secret of course!). The designs are now coming to life around the school, and I do not envy the PA in trying to pick winners. They’re all fantastic! We have also heard a rumour that we are on the list for some very special Zoom calls from the North Pole on Monday…. Excitement levels will be at fever pitch by the time we send the children home for the holidays!
​Follow us on Twitter @ScoilMochua for a taste of the festive fun. 

christmas jumper day

Last Monday the whole school kicked off the Christmas season with our much-loved Christmas Jumper Day. As always, you have been incredibly generous. We raised a whopping €2,050 from your donations. We will be passing this money on, with pride, to St Vincent de Paul, before the holidays.
​A sincere thanks to all of you for this wonderful support to such a worthwhile charity.

book fair

The online Book Fair was a huge success, both in terms of rekindling the children’s passion for reading (our primary objective) and for raising funds to reinvest in books for the school. You purchased a total of €7,228 worth of books, which means that we have credit to the value of €3,614 to spend on books. We plan to invest in new sets of class novels, and we will also purchase more set of books for our 5th and 6 th class Book Clubs

sign language performances

Several classes have learned songs in sign-language to make up for the fact that singing indoors is not advisable. Attending a performance led to a flood of emotions – sadness that the children couldn’t sing, amazement at what young children can learn, admiration for the teachers for the lengths they go to in these extraordinary times. Any sadness, however, very quickly disappeared: the children danced their little hearts out as they ‘signed’ the song, and they beamed with enjoyment and pride throughout! What a wonderful achievement.
