• Design Competition Winner

  Wed 17 May 2023

  Awhile back, our P4 pupil Cahal entered Messy Play’s design competition. The objective was for each child to create a ‘colourful, creative, challenging and crazy idea!’ Cahal did just that with his wonderful invention. Out of 1000’s of entries, Cahal’s was chosen as the winner.

   

  Today, dreams were turned into reality when Cahal’s vision finally arrived to school. It will be located in the playground so that everyone can gain maximum enjoyment out of it. Cahal is rightly proud of his creation.

   

  Well done!

  

• GAA Challenge Games

  27 boys and girls from Sacred Heart P.S went to St Joseph’s P.S. Carnacaville this morning for challenge matches against the host school. 

   

  The girls were in superb form, winning both their contests whilst the boys, with a lot of P5’s getting match experience, enjoyed their football.

• Reading Den

  Tue 16 May 2023

  We were delighted today to take delivery of our new reading den. The den will now be very much integrated into school life as an area that will be utilised to facilitate and inspire reading amongst our children.

   

  We look forward to tomorrow when our first classes will get the opportunity to use the den and begin a new learning journey.

  

• Jungle Crafts

  Tue 16 May 2023

  Mr McCartan’s P3 class created cone crafts to showcase their favourite jungle animal. They used textiles and decorated them with paint and pieces of card. 

   

  The children thoroughly enjoyed being creative and it really showed their artistic skills during this project. 

   

  This wraps up the P3 topic of ‘The Jungle’ and they now look forward to starting their new topic which is ‘Fairy Tales.’

• Fractions in P2

  Fri 12 May 2023

  P2 have been learning about fractions this week in numeracy. Today they took their lesson outside and enjoyed drawing their own shapes around the playground and dividing them into halves and quarters. 

   

  As a treat for all of their hard work, the boys and girls were given a chocolate bar which they could eat if they could divide it into quarters. 

   

  The chocolate didn't last long with these mathematicians!

  

• Principal’s Award

  Fri 12 May 2023

  Sophia P7

   

  Sophia is an incredibly well mannered and polite pupil. She is always the first to offer to help with jobs in class. She comes to school each morning with a smile on her face to greet every adult and friend.

   

  Sophia has made great progress within numeracy this year and works independently in all lessons, showing a confidence within the subject. She is also making excellent strides within literacy. Sophia will strive to improve every sentence and her work within grammar and punctuation is of a high standard.

   

  Sophia is extremely talented and has really impressed us this year with her beautiful solos during the Christmas play and most recently, Confirmation. She also encourages all of those around her to try new things. 

   

  Well done!
