There has been some fantastic work going on this week in P3/4, P5/6 and P7 in relation to their class World Around Us topics.

The P3/4’s are focussing on Vikings, P5/6 on Mountains and P7 on the Victorians.

Mr Brennan/Mr Fitzsimons’ class saw the children tasked with researching Viking helmets and designing their own that they would wear in battle. They then had the opportunity to make their own helmet as part of a STEAM task. They looked absolutely brilliant with the children including Viking rune writing on the sides.

Miss Crozier’s class were focussing on volcanoes this week, learning about how they are formed and why they erupt. The boys and girls even conducted their own experiment by creating their own volcanoes and then replicating an eruption by mixing baking soda, water, food colouring and vinegar!

Mr Doyle’s class created suspension bridges in the spirit of Isambard Kingdom Brunel who was renowned during the Victorian era as one of the greatest engineers of the period.

Well done everyone!

It was our first week back after the Mid-Term Break as Remote/Supervised Learning kicked into gear once again. Well done to the following who were given the Pupil of the Week awards:

P1 - Seth and Rosie Leigh

P2 - Sean and Austin

P3 - Elsie

P4 - Sophie

P5 - Jasmin

P6 - Eoin

P7 - John Victor and Christopher

On Monday past our pupils were posed the following questions: Have you ever used a plastic bottle as a bird feeder? What else can you reuse a plastic bottle for? Do you know of any other item that could be turned into something else useful?

The responses to this Upcycling Challenge were superb. The creativity on show was nothing short of brilliant. Cast your eye over some of the inventions and prepared to be impressed!

School will reopen tomorrow (Monday) for Supervised Learning for our Key Worker/Vulnerable Children. Remote Learning will also restart for those children at home.

On Tuesday past the boys and girls of Sacred Heart took part in activities related to Safer Internet Day.

Safer Internet Day 2021 celebrated the amazing range of information and opportunities online, and its potential to inform, connect and inspire us, whilst also looking at how our pupils can separate fact from fiction.

The campaign focused on how we can know what to trust online, supporting our pupils to question, challenge and change the online world. It explored how influence, persuasion and manipulation can impact their decisions, opinions and what they share online.
