  Our new P1’s have completed their first 4 weeks in their new surroundings at Sacred Heart P.S. From this Monday (23rd September) onwards, they will be in each day to 2pm and will have full access to our After School Club programme. They have all settled in so well!

• Minibeasts Coding

  Fri 20 Sep 2024

  Mr McCartan’s P2/P3 class explored the coding features on Scratch Junior. First of all they created a background that resembled a habitat for minibeasts. The children thought it would be a great idea to create a link between coding and their World Around Us topic, Minibeasts. 

  To advance their learning, the class then coded a bug and a butterfly, with their aim being to make the minibeasts fly towards the flowers for food. The P2/3 class learned that making a code was like making a list of instructions. 

  The class really enjoyed coding the minibeasts on the app and they all got a chance to be creative and add all sorts of different coding features to their creations.

• Spheros

  Fri 20 Sep 2024

  In this fun coding activity, Mr Lundy’s P5/P6 class programmed Spheros to navigate mazes using block-based coding in the Sphero Edu app. Working in small teams, they utilised coding concepts like sequencing, loops and debugging, whilst developing problem-solving and teamwork skills. 

  The challenge encouraged creativity and resilience as students collaborated to refine their programs and successfully guide their Spheros through the mazes.

• Cross Curricular ICT

  Fri 20 Sep 2024

  Mr Doyle’s P4/P5 class decided to interlink their ICT focus into their Literacy and World Around Us for National Coding Week.

  In Literacy they used Scratch Junior to create an animation of George making potions that connected to their class novel, George's Marvellous Medicine.

  For World Around Us they used Spheros to show the supply chain journey of certain Fair Trade foods from farm to table such as bananas from Ecuador, sugar from Panama, chocolate from Ghana, tea from India, rice from Thailand and coffee from Colombia.
