  Our Primary 7 boys were invited to De La Salle High School on Monday, to take part in a 'Taste and See' event, where they had the chance to experience what their daily routine would be like when they move on to post-primary education next year. After being welcomed by Mr Maguire (Principal) and Mr Sharvin (Vice-Principal), the boys had the opportunity to meet Primary 7 pupils from other schools and take part in exciting lessons including PE, Home Economics, Technology and Art & Design. Everyone had a fantastic day and were fantastic in representing our school. Lastly- thanks to Conor from De La Salle who attended school this afternoon to present Tiernan & Oisin with footballs for winning a competition at the Taste & See Day!

  Mon 16 Jan 2023

  Last week, P6/7 took part in the Our World Workshop delivered by Young Enterprise. In this session, the pupils learned the importance of resources and how countries trade and export these. They also discussed the importance of money as a resource as well as briefly exploring some international law which has an impact on trade. The workshop concluded with the pupils having a go at creating their own mock businesses and exploring some of the decisions that countries and businesses have to make around trade.

  

• 🚌 P6/7 Visit Ulster Folk Museum 🚌

  Sun 15 Jan 2023

  P6/7 had the opportunity to step back in time this week and experience what life was like for children in the Victorian Era, during a trip to Ulster Folk Museum. P6/7 experienced a typical late-1800s school lesson, as well as exploring Victorian-era homes and had the opportunity to visit Victorian-era businesses. The pupils enjoyed some homemade soda bread made on a peat fire and of course, before leaving, they visited the confectioner to buy some old-fashioned sweets.

  

• ⭐️💼 Business Beginnings 💼⭐️

  Sat 14 Jan 2023

  To begin their ‘Business Beginnings’ project, Primary 7 took part in an online workshop today, hosted by Young Enterprise Northern Ireland

  In the workshop, pupils explored famous logos, slogans and entrepreneurs, recognising what made them successful and the common themes of successful business.

  Primary 7 then had a go at creating their own animal-themed business logo, through using a range of classroom items. They created an octopus with the slogan, ‘Many hands make light work’ and a crab, for a ‘fun and energetic’ business.

  The workshop was a great way to begin the creation of our own business venture, through the Business Beginnings programme.
