P4 Trip to Lisburn Museum
Prep 4 had a wonderful trip to Lisburn Museum today to explore topics around WW2 to include rationing, evacuation and the Home Front. The girls had a go at making a card gas mask, then dressed up as different WW2 characters. They even got to have our lunch outside in the sun before they headed back to school.
Singing success at Ballyclare Music Festival
Prep Chamber Choir recently competed in two classes at the Ballyclare Music Festival; the choral class and the hymn singing class. The choir sang Shenandoah and Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho in the choral class. In the hymn singing class the girls sang All Things Bright and Beautiful and Sandyland, winning a trophy in the hymn singing class and a commendation in the choral class.
Pre-School Bubble Workshop
Pre-school girls learned all about different bubbles today and the chemical reactions that create them. They learned why bubbles are always round, why a bubble can be popped with a dry hand and not a wet hand and why different experiments make different kinds of bubbles. But most of all they got to make a mess and learn that Science is great fun!
Swimming success at the Swim Ulster Primary Schools Cup

Fantastic hockey from all.
World Book Day Character Dress Up
VCB Prep girls really rose to the challenge of dressing up as a character from a children’s book with lots of amazing costumes on show. The imagination and effort put into the costumes was truly inspiring!

Shared learning with Inchmarlo at Lisburn Museum
Prep 1 VCB girls joined with Prep 1 Inchmarlo boys for a trip to Lisburn to visit the Lisburn Museum. Everyone had a fantastic time in Castle Gardens for a teddy bears picnic trail where the boys and girls searched the gardens for hidden teddy bear drawings. Then it was time for some parachute games before they went back to the museum for an art workshop and a spot of lunch.
Hockey success
Congratulations to our 2 prep hockey teams who played in the prep hockey festival at Pirrie Park today. Fantastic results all round with our A squad undefeated in all matches and overall winners. It was a great opportunity and experience for all the girls on such a beautiful day. Next stop……Belfast area tournament!
P2 visit the Post Office
Prep 2 have been very busy writing letters and last week visited the Post Office on the Lisburn Road where we weighed our letters and bought stamps. We then posted our letters and can't wait to get a reply!
