Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Our P2 pupil Ruadhán started running a mile a day on the 1st April with the goal of running 30 miles by the day of his 6th birthday on Friday 30th April. The chosen charity that he is fundraising for is the Cancer Fund for Children (Daisy Lodge).
As Ruadhán approaches the last few miles of his total, his P2 classmates decided that they would help him on his quest. So the whole of Miss Kearney’s class joined in as they ran alongside Ruadhán in the school playground this morning with everyone completing a mile. What great camaraderie between all of the P2’s!
Donations can be made to this great charity through Ruadhán’s Just Giving page at: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/claire-mcguigan3?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=fundraising&utm_content=claire-mcguigan3&utm_campaign=pfp-share&utm_term=5d31306aa4fd4e1582c724e3746cb69d&fbclid=IwAR2xyZTJIApe8_vHFJTUYxCUM0dGUZRM90KYnFRymTAeEhAlk9Iv-S51pCM

Today the P3/P4 class used their PE lesson to learn more about different forms of active travel. Bikes, scooters, go karts and trikes were all utilised as everybody enjoyed navigating their way around tracks and obstacles.
Sustrans Big Pedal began on Monday 19th April and will run to Friday 30th April. All pupils are encouraged to walk, cycle or scoot to school during this period.
Two new born spring lambs hopped and skipped their way into Sacred Heart P.S. today. The school had organised through our staff member Miss Kathleen Milligan, for the lambs to come in from her family farm.
Spring has been a main focus of our weekly school assemblies of late while the P2 class are doing Animals for their World Around Us (WAU) topic and the P3/P4’s are focussing on Food.
With the visit of the lambs tying in with some of our WAU topics, the other classes also got a chance to engage with the lambs and in some instances even feed them. They also ventured over to see the children at Young at Heart as well.
This was a great experience for everyone and one that our children learned a lot from. Thank you again to Kathleen for bringing them in and to the two stars of the show, the duo of lambs themselves!
The P3/P4 class are currently enjoying their new topic: food. The class took part in an activity based learning exercise on Thursday when they got to experience a variety of different mediums related to the topic.
Activities included; writing shopping lists, guess the food, milking the cow, shopkeepers, pizza making, sorting healthy and unhealthy foods, matching the meat to the animal and food colouring.
A great learning opportunity was had by all.
More than 1 billion people in 192 countries now participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it the largest civic observance in the world. On Thursday, the pupils of Sacred Heart took part in Earth Day and they fully played their part in helping to further climate action across the globe.
The theme this year was ‘Restore Our Earth,’ which focused on natural processes, emerging green technologies, and innovative thinking that can restore the world’s ecosystems.
Our P7 class also linked up with our Shared Education partners, Knockevin Special School, for a special virtual online meeting in which different topics surrounding Earth Day were discussed.
As a school we are proud of our close ties with Dundrum GAC and fortunate to have the resplendent Páirc Seán Ó Caoilte very close by.
Tuesdays and Thursdays are the designated PE days in Sacred Heart and today, the P3/P4 and the P7 classes made their way down to the pitch for GAA sessions.
The children all thoroughly enjoyed the exercises, drills and games as the school continues to enhance provision for Gaelic football within its PE programmes.
