Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Miss Byrne’s P1 class headed to the Mourne Seafood Bar in Dundrum today as part of their new World Around Us topic, ‘Under the Sea.’
The children got to explore a variety of sea creatures with all their senses, even taste! This was a fantastic opportunity to learn about local sea creatures and how the food is caught locally, prepared and cooked.
Back in the classroom, P1 have created their very own Mourne Seafood Bar and have hugely enjoyed role playing as customers, servers and chefs. There have even been some tough food critics leaving reviews.
A huge thank you to all at Mourne Seafood Bar for a brilliant day!
This morning Tula, along with her handler Debbie Flanagan, attended school to oversee the first of our Reading Therapy sessions.
Tula is certified as an emotional support dog. Reading Therapy in this capacity allows for children to read in a non-judgemental and attentive environment. Research has proven that there are great gains to be had in reading standards via this approach.
We look forward to continuing with this initiative in Term 3 and allowing for as many children as possible to avail of this resource.
This morning every child in the school received an Easter Egg in recognition of their wonderful achievements over the course of Term 2!
We are also grateful to the Dundrum Village Association (DVA) for their donation of Crème Eggs for every pupil. The school entered their Easter art competition and the eggs were provided as recognition for this.
School finishes for the Easter break tomorrow (Wednesday) at 11:30am. Breakfast Club will be available however there will be no After School Club provision. Tomorrow will also be non-uniform for all pupils.
Thank you.
Well done to our school netball team who once again performed brilliantly at the blitz held in St Nicholas P.S. Ardglass!
Sacred Heart P.S. fielded two teams and enjoyed a number of games against the hosts, St Mary’s P.S. Newcastle and St Colmcille’s P.S. Downpatrick.
Led by Miss Crozier and our classroom assistant Cora Peters, the school netballers have been training and practising hard for these events. All that productive work on the court is starting to pay off as the whole panel were superb in their efforts today.
Thank you to Mr Kevin Burns of St Nicholas P.S. for the invite and for hosting.
Mr Doyle’s P4 class made the trip to the Kingdom of Mourne today to visit the Neary Nógs venue as part of their World Around Us topic, ‘Chocolate.’
They learnt about the chocolate making process from the pod in its country of origin such as Togo, to name a few, to our shop shelves. The children found out about how Neary Nógs pay above market value for cacao beans, to ensure that the cacao farmers get a living wage, ensuring survival of the cacao industry and the farmers’ livelihoods.
The children had a chance to taste the difference between 100% chocolate, 70% chocolate, delicious fudge and hot chocolate. They had a very informative and enjoyable day as trainee chocolatiers!
Unfortunately not the ones with chocolate chips.
