After Hours team with Workspace to provide hampers for local care homes
Today, we're spreading a little extra cheer to our local care homes thanks to a wonderful community effort. WorkSpace kindly donated all the delicious treats, and the beautifully presented hampers were put together by Victoria Afterhours. These thoughtful gifts are being delivered today, bringing smiles and seasonal warmth to residents and staff alike.
Prep 2 visit Drumglass Park
P2 had a fantastic time at Drumglass Park yesterday! Assisted by P7 pupil, Natsai, the children eagerly took part in an Autumn scavenger hunt, searching for colourful leaves, pinecones, acorns, and other seasonal treasures. They explored the park, noticing the changes in nature and working together to tick off items on their list. After the hunt, they enjoyed some well-earned playtime on the swings, climbing frames, and slides - a perfect way to celebrate the end of term!
Ulster Scots workshop with Prep and Inchmarlo
P1 had a wonderful time working alongside Mrs Carson-Hair and Sammy during our Ulster Scots workshop, joined by our enthusiastic P1 friends from Inchmarlo. As the session came to a close, we were delighted to welcome some familiar faces—our seasoned P2 pupils—who popped in to join us. They enjoyed the programme so much last year that they couldn’t resist coming back for more!
PJ day in Pre-School
Today was a magical Pyjama Day at pre-school, where comfort met creativity! The girls arrived in their cosiest PJs, ready for a day of imagination and fun. They built a snug little den using blankets, cushions, and plenty of giggles. Once their den was complete, they snuggled inside for a pretend sleep, whispering stories and sharing dreams.
Inspired by the idea of animals preparing for winter, the girls decided to "gather food" for hibernation. Their version? A yummy stash of treats!
Forever blowing bubbles…
Prep 3 had a magical time at Forest School, diving into the wonders of the Elder tree. The children discovered how this special tree has been used for centuries—from its berries and flowers to its hollow branches. They learned that Elder wood, with its soft pith, can be carefully hollowed out to create simple tools—and even bubble blowers!
Operation Christmas Child appeal
Mrs Marshall visited Prep today to launch the Operation Christmas Child shoebox appeal. Our CAG girls are working with Mrs Marshall to coordinate this important appeal in Prep.
Aspire Day 3
Prep 6 enjoyed their third Aspire Day with their friends from St Brides and Inchmarlo. The pupils had another art session with Sinead who taught the pupils to draw the Belfast skyline. Louise from Resilient Rhythms did some musical therapy. A great morning of fun for all.
Aspire Shared Education
Victoria Prep, Inchmarlo and St Brides Primary School have been actively participating in joint learning experiences that promote collaboration and friendship among pupils. These sessions feature a variety of activities—including music, ICT, sports, and Forest School—where pupils from different schools come together to learn, explore, and enjoy shared moments.
Prep 7 kick off the football season at Campbell College
Congratulations to our Prep 7 football team who represented us brilliantly at Campbell College today. With 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, the team secured an impressive second place overall. It was a fantastic day filled with fun and a great celebration of Prep sport!
School Council’s fundraising success
We’re thrilled to share that our School Council has successfully organised the purchase of brand-new playground resources—bringing fresh fun and energy to our outdoor spaces!
These fantastic additions were made possible through the fundraising efforts from last term’s necklace sale. The creativity and dedication shown by our School Council members truly paid off, and the whole school will benefit from their hard work.
A huge thank you goes out to everyone who participated!
