P2/P3 had a wonderful workshop with Aoife from REACH on Thursday. It was extremely engaging and beneficial for the class. They learned about how they can match their feelings to certain colours. Then they talked about what they should do when they feel a certain way. This was a really worthwhile experience for the class and it marked the first of four engagement sessions that will be taking place over the next few weeks.
REACH (Resilience Education Assisting Change to Happen) is a dedicated youth work programme which supports pupils, teachers and parents within schools across the North of Ireland to improve the emotional health and wellbeing outcomes for our children and young people.

Outdoor Learning Week was a big focus in Sacred Heart P.S. these past five days. To coincide with the initiative, we also reopened our new reimagined outdoor classroom.
Lots of related activities took place across all of our classes. Long division in the Spring sunshine, SeeSaw home tasks, Forest School activities, planting, establishment of fraction walls using sticks and chalk, Numeracy trails, shape hunts, trundle wheel measurements, branch length estimations and tree counting!

Delilah P6
This student’s journey this year has been marked by significant strides. Their concentration levels in class have soared to new heights, reflecting their determination to excel. Through diligent effort and perseverance, they have transformed their reading abilities, achieving great fluency. Moreover their spelling prowess has blossomed, evident in their written work where clarity and accuracy now shine through.
Furthermore, their Numeracy skills have gone through a remarkable improvement, with each day finding new found confidence. Her willingness to tackle challenges head on and her eagerness to learn have truly set her apart.
Delilah has achieved many accomplishments throughout P6. This has been fuelled by an energy in her learning that embodies her potential for growth.
Well done Delilah, a very deserving recipient!
*** Mass ***
The school will be leading Mass tomorrow evening (Saturday) in the Sacred Heart Church at 6:30pm. The school choir (P4, P5, P6 and P7) are asked to be seated for 6:25pm. It would be great to see our school community turn out to support the children.
Thank you.

This morning we welcomed Mrs Patricia McClean from the Livestock and Meat Commission into Sacred Heart P.S. Patricia is doing three cookery sessions with us and this first one saw the P5’s get a hands on experience with the rustling up of a delicious chilli beef pasta dish.
The demonstration focussed on culinary skills, healthy eating and wellbeing and the P5’s were delighted to get to eat their finished product!
We will be joining in with other schools across the county as we celebrate 'Red and Black Day' on Friday 26th April in anticipation of the Down senior footballers' Ulster SFC semi final clash with Armagh in Clones on Saturday 27th April. Children can come to school on this day in their Down GAA gear or any item of clothing that contains red and/or black. Up Down!

This morning, members of our school fundraising arm (POSH), came in to present our P7’s with their new leavers’ jumpers. We place on record our sincere thanks to POSH for covering the cost of the garments and we hope that our P7 boys and girls get to enjoy wearing them for the rest of their time in Sacred Heart P.S.!
