Mission Together Visit 8th Feb 2018
Date: 8th Feb 2018 @ 2:05pm
This morning, Sacred Heart children gave a very warm welcome to Mary Deardon from Mission Together. Mary came in to collect the money that school raised through various fundraising activities in support of AJ, a little boy in Sri Lanka.
Representatives from our Mini Vinnies presented Mary with a cheque for £400.00. Thank you to all our families who supported this.
Mary was then able to tell us that the money raised will be used to provide 400 Health Packs to children out in Sri Lanka. Previously, our fundraising had contributed to the building of a new toilet block and kitchen facilities, serving children over two times the number in Sacred Heart. What an achievement!
Mary finished her visit with a challenge. She has asked that we say the Mission Together prayer 10,000. If you would like to help us reach our goal the prayer is below:
We Pray,
May all children
In the world
Share love,
Share friendship
And live in the peace of God's love.
Now and forever,
Amen

What To Expect, When - Advice for Parents
Date: 19th Oct 2015 @ 11:15pm
In our Foundation Stage classes at Sacred Heart, we get to know your child's knowledge and understanding through setting up play-based activities, adult-led focused activities and through observations of your child accessing and demonstrating their learning in our continuous provision (the resources and activities your child chooses themselves in the classroom).
Here is a very useful document from 4Children that outlines the developmental stages and age-related expectations that your child will be experiencing at each age.
How Can You Help Your Nursery Child With Their Learning?
Date: 20th Oct 2016 @ 10:39pm
This is a fantastic page from the 'What To Expect, When' publication, with some excellent ideas about how parents can help and support their children during this age at home.

Meeting Gobi - the little dog with the huge heart
Date: 12th Jul 2017 @ 2:40pm
Meeting Gobi:
Today Miss Barnes and four year 3 pupils (Summer Peters, Oscar, Felicity and Alec) went to the Madeleine Lindley Book Centre to have lunch with Leon and Gobi. We had a delicious lunch (see the pictures) and we bought copies of the book to read in September. We cannot wait for the film to come out! Gobi is already a star in our eyes!
In 2016, Dion Leonard, an ultramarathon runner, stumbled across a little stray dog while competing in a gruelling 155 mile race across the Gobi Desert. The pup earned the name 'Gobi', as she went step for step with Dion, keeping pace with him for nearly 80 miles. What Gobi lacked in size, she made up for in heart. Dion had always focused on winning, but as he witnessed the incredible determination of this small animal, he felt something inside him change.

Our year 6 'Reading Ambassadors' have been really busy this term. They plan reading sessions using picture books, puppets, masks and other props with younger children. These sessions take place at lunchtimes. The Reading Ambassadors usually have a swarm of children running behind them hoping to be chosen to read! This half term they have been reinforcing phoincs sessions from the morning by using our letter cards. We have been very impressed by their ability to lead these fun and educational sessions. Well done year 6. Have a look at them in action!

BBC Radio visited Sacred Heart today to record children from years 3-6 (Francis Fletcher, Maxi Hoffman, Maxwell Bilango, Mariel Mapa, Noel Sabu, Martha Phoenix, Charlotte Brown, Rianna Ogena, Timothy Gina and Katie Lou Dunne) talking about prayers and reflections. The children were amazing and both presenters, Catherine and Zaffar, said they were natural professionals. We are so proud of them and we are looking forward to hearing how they sound on the radio in the next few weeks! Watch this space for a link!

Matt Goodfellow visits Sacred Heart
Date: 14th Oct 2016 @ 2:21pm
WOW! What a day we have had here at Sacred Heart!
All pupils from Reception to Year 6 have watched Matt Goodfellow, a real poet, perform his poems in school today.
Matt also worked with some classses to write their own poetry! He was really impressed with our sense of rhythm and use of language. Ask us about 'The Caterpillar Cake' and we will perform it for you!
A huge thank you to Matt for making poetry so much fun.
