As part of our commitment to collaboration, we have included a Neuronimo at Home link for parents. This supplements any Neuronimo learning in school. The home access is not compulsory but we do encourage it where possible.
Please see your link for Neuronimo at Home https://www.neuronimo.co.uk/enroll/1620225?th__ug=faa5c3a3
This link is unique to Sacred Heart Primary School. The link will take parents to the Learning Management System where they will be prompted to sign up and create a log-in. This will give them access to selected course material. Each parent will have an individual log-in so they can move through the course at their preferred pace.
Thanks.
Our school is taking part in a programme called Neuronimo. Neuronimo is a children and young person’s mental and physical health programme. It is being delivered by a children’s charity called Reverse the Trend Foundation in partnership with the Education Authority in the North.
The aim of the initiative is to promote mental wellness in our children. Reverse the Trend Foundation uses evidence-based neuroscience to tackle these issues. It does not rely on short-term fixes such as limiting screen time. Instead, the Neuronimo programme uses evidence supported by University partners to change behaviour and create healthy habits around mental and physical health.
Children and young people complete short, fun, goal-orientated tasks over a period of 12 weeks with their teacher in school. During the programme they are supported online by Neuronimo Ambassadors who help create healthy habits. The tasks can be as short as 3-4 minutes for mental health tasks or 15 minutes for physical activity tasks.
The Neuronimo programme is also available for use at home. This is an opportunity to supplement any learning your child may have had in class. Log in details will be provided for home access next week.

Sacred Heart P.S. strives to be environmentally aware and active. Therefore we opted to take part in Recycle Week.
Throughout the school, each class participated in presentations, discussions and research linked to the theme of recycling.
It was great to see litter picks taking place around the village as well as new items being created from a range of recyclable materials.

Next week is Bike to School Week. Your child/children are welcome to cycle their bicycles to school. Please ensure that your child’s bike is safe to cycle on before they take part. Please also ensure that your child gets to school safely on their bikes and gets home safely too. Scooting to school is encouraged as well!
If your child/children are cycling to school, please ensure that they;
· Ride sensibly and safely and to follow the Highway Code.
· Wear a helmet at all times whilst cycling to and from school.
· Ensure they can be seen by other road users, by using bicycle lights and wearing high visibility clothing, as appropriate.
We will also be welcoming John Ross from Ross Cycles to the school on Thursday for Dr Bike Day. John will be able to look at all the bikes and fix any issues with them.
There will be a competition running next week in conjunction with the event. Details can be found at https://www.sustrans.org.uk/.../bike-to-school-week-pledge/. Submitting the form will enter you into our prize draw to win a Frog Bike worth up to £400.
