Welcome to the News section of the website. I hope you find it interesting and useful in keeping you informed of the many events that happen in Victoria Park School.

• Relax Kids

  Thu 24 Feb 2022

  Sinead from Relax Kids joined P2-4 in school today. The children developed practical, easy and fun strategies to improve their mental health and well-being. As you can see they LOVED taking part in these interactive and engaging activities. We are looking forward to welcoming Sinead back next month to work with more VPPS pupils. Thanks to Mrs McKnight for organising these fantastic sessions. #wellbeing #mentalhealth #relaxkids #VictoriaParkPrimarySchool

  

• Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service

  Thu 24 Feb 2022

  Today P5 had a visit from Teddy and Adam from Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service. They reminded us all about fire safety in the home and even took the time to show us their fire engine. We are really grateful to both of them taking the time out of their busy schedules to share this important message with us as we strive to keep our home and communities safe.

  

• The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

  Tue 22 Feb 2022

  We love this fantastic painting of Aslan from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe that Rosa from P4 produced during an art class she attended with her nanny. Well done Rosa!

• Teaching Numeracy Outside

  Thu 10 Feb 2022

  Mrs Beatty enjoyed teaching numeracy outside earlier this week. William, Blake, Riley, Poppy, Frankie and Kyla in Room 5 all worked together to make addition sums using things they found in the playground as did Abi-Louise, Amelia, Kal and Brody from Room 6. Lily-Mae, Lamar and Clara from Room 7 used little daisies to show how the teens numbers can be made from one ten and some ones. Well done everyone!

  

• ‘My Science’ Microbiology Society Champion Activity

  Wed 09 Feb 2022

  The two P7 classes recently enjoyed taking part in a ‘My Science’ Microbiology Society Champion activity offered through the STEM NI Hub in conjunction with Queen's University. They learned all about microbes and carried out their own scientific investigation swabbing places around the classroom to see what microbes could be found there!

  

• P4 Room 7 enjoyed their trip to the Northern Ireland War Memorial Museum this morning.
