We celebrated World Book Day in St. Mogue’s on March 7^th. Well done to all the children (and teachers!) who dressed up as characters from their favourite books. All of the costumes were excellent and showed fabulous creativity. Check out the Gallery for all the photos.

Well done to the four teams from our school who took part in the Ballyconnell Credit Union Quiz in Templeport Resource Centre recently. Congratulations to Natalie McIntyre, Eve Magee, Lucy Maguire and Luke McKiernan -Stojak who took 3^rd place in the under 13 competition and to our under-11 team consisting of Matthew McManus, Hugh McCauley, Jane Cosgrove and Aoibheann Heery who finished joint-first after an epic battle with Ballyconnell NS (where they couldn’t be separated after four tie-breaker rounds!). We wish the u11 team all the best as they represent our school in the next stage of the competition.

The junior room’s winter educational trip took place on St. Mogue’s Day (January 31^st). The boys and girls had a wonderful day, that began with a boat trip to St. Mogue’s Island where they got a guided tour the island and the church remains by Aidan Brady. They then visited the holy water font in St Aidan’s church Bawnboy, which is said to be part of the flagstone that carried St. Mogue across the lake to be baptised by St. Caillin. The children ended their trip with a visit to Ballyconnell library for storytelling.

We celebrated Grandparents Day on Jan 24^th with a beautiful mass in our school. Refreshments were served afterwards which gave everyone a chance to catch up over a cup of tea. A huge ‘thank you’ to all our grandparents, the wider school community, the school staff, Fr Sean and all our wonderful boys and girls for making it such a special day. All the photos are in the gallery tab on this website

We would like to sincerely thank our Parents Association who kindly donated €3000 for our STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) project in the school recently. This funding was used to install shelving, purchase storage containers and a huge array of STEM resources including: electricity kits; magnetism kits; model torso, skeleton, heart, ear, eye and lungs; Liquid measurement kit; model solar system; metal strip identification kits; stethoscopes; simple machines kits; rock, mineral and fossil collections; hovercraft construction kit; orienteering equipment; tangrams; classroom clock kits; pooters and magnifying glasses; and Numicon sets.

These resources will benefit all the children in the school, to aid ‘hands-on’ learning through self-discovery and guided-discovery. Keep an eye on our social media pages later this week for photos of this recent investment.

Our Green Schools ‘Day of Action’ took place recently and one of the highlights was the Junk Kouture Fashion Show. The children designed and created wearable outfits using recycled materials and items destined for the rubbish bin. They then modelled their outfits on the catwalk! What a creative group of boys and girls we have in St. Mogue’s NS!! Check out all the photos in the Green Schools section of the school website, or by clicking here
