Ballymoney Model Integrated Primary School

Mrs Carson's class had lots of fun learning about where food comes from. They thoroughly enjoyed a class trip to Causeway Fun Farm as well as thininking about food we get from plants.

The pupils are caring for their sunflowers which they took home earlier this term. We are looking forward to seeing some photographs of the flowers when they bloom later this year.

Please look at the pictures below to see some the great learning experiences that were enjoyed by all the pupils in Year 1RC

Year One had a fantastic sports day. We took part in a variety of races and all enjoyed an ice cream treat. 

We hope you have enjoyed using our collection of Story Sacks this year.

Please return all Story Sacks, lending cards and card wallets by 23rd June. These will be reissued in September for pupils to continue in Year 2.

Thank you

A huge congratulations to every child in Year 1RC  for participating in our "Teamwork" assembly.

Pupils enjoyed telling the audience what Teamwork means to them. Each pupil spoke with confidence and they all enjoyed performing in front of the huge crowd of family and friends who attended.

Thank you also to all the parents/carers/friends who were so happy to participate in the activities which highlighted that teamwork is much better than working independently.

The Year One team thank everyone for coming along today.

Year One pupils were developing lots of skills as they were having lots of fun during outdoor play.

Pupils enjoyed obstacle courses, sand play, home corner, bikes and trikes, chalk art, large construction, duplo and water play.

Please have look at the attached pictures to see the pupils having fun as they acquire and develop many different skills.

Year One have been anticipating the arrival of green shoots after planting their own sunflower seeds a couple of weeks ago. After much observing, Year One were delighted to see the first signs of growth of our class sunflowers.

Have a look at the pictures below.

Pupils in Mrs Carson's class participated in an outdoor maths session today.

Using a variety of resources Year One pupils carried out simple calculations. The pupils worked together to ensure that everyone set out the correct number of objects, counted them accurately and then recorded the answer. 

Well done to all in Mrs Carson's class.

Have a look at the pictures below.

Year One pupils had lots of practical experience weighing objects using balance scales. 

Pupils weighed a variety of objects using multi link cubes as the non standard measuring unit. They counted the number of multi link cubes required to make the object balance. They then recorded their result.

All pupils enjoyed this practical session and all developed the skill of using the balance scales.

Well done Year One.

Have a look at the pictures below.

As part of Allergy Awareness Week, Year one we're thinking about what it means to have an allergy.

Pupils thought about nut allergy in particular.

Pupils now understand that nuts can make some people very unwell. We talked about school being a nut free zone as some pupils in school have an allergy to nuts.

We listed to a story "The Cookie" which highlighted the importance of checking labels to make sure that biscuits brought to school do not contain nuts.

Pupils drew a cookie to remind them about be mindful to check ingredients if they know someone with a nut allergy.

See the pictures below.
