• Cycling Proficiency 2023

  Thu 08 Jun 2023

  A massive congratulations goes out to P7 pupils Oisin, Kayden, Eshylus, Max and Zara who recently completed and passed their Cycling Proficiency. They undertook a number of practical and theory based tasks in order to earn their pass status as cyclists. 

  These pupils worked very hard over the last number of months in order to achieve this accolade. They are all very knowledgeable when it comes to road safety and know that they always have to be very careful and safe on the road. 

  Well done!

  

• New P1 Class Induction

  Thu 08 Jun 2023

  This afternoon we welcomed the boys and girls from our new 2023/2024 P1 intake into Sacred Heart P.S. for a ‘Stay and Play’ session.

  The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience as they got to engage in a number of activities both indoor and outdoor. It was a great opportunity for the children and parents alike to mix.

  As a symbolic gesture for starting school in the next academic year, the boys and girls planted sunflower seeds in pots. They took these pots home with them and it is envisaged that the sunflowers will begin to bloom just as they begin P1.

  Thank you to class teacher Miss Byrne for facilitating this afternoon and to our classroom assistants Laura and Cathy for their input too.

  

• P6/P7 Ulster Museum Trip

  Wed 07 Jun 2023

  P6/P7 had a fantastic visit to the Ulster Museum in Belfast today.  

  The boys and girls availed of a ‘Discover Nature’ session where they learnt all about rainforests and their resources. They then attended the ‘Ancient Egyptian’ workshop where they were able to handle real Egyptian artefacts, like canopic jars and learn about what life would have been like thousands of years ago. 

  The children then explored the rest of the museum which had so many fascinating objects on display. A favourite was the mummy exhibition which houses the famous Takabuti.  

  There was just enough time at the end for pupils to take a stroll through the Tropical Ravine House in the Botanic Gardens, and view the many different species of plants.

• P2 Trip to Mount Stewart

  Mon 05 Jun 2023

  The sun was shining from start to finish for P2's class trip to Mount Stewart today. The theme of the excursion was 'Connect with Nature' and they did this through taking part in four activities: 

   

  - Bug Hunt (finding and identifying minibeasts in the forest) 

  - Tracking and Stalking (learning skills to find evidence of the animals which live in the forest) 

  - Find a Flock (identifying bird species by their call) 

  -Woodland Art (creating an animal using natural items gathered around us)

   

  It was a fantastic day all round with everyone engaged and involved throughout. Every student ought to be very proud of themselves as they represented the school wonderfully and were given a bonus gift to take home for being such wonderful listeners with excellent manners. 

   

  Well done boys and girls!
