Ballymoney Model Integrated Primary School

This week, Year 6 have been discovering more about the geography of Egypt. Miss Graham's class used Google Maps to locate cities and landmarks in Egypt, such as the Luxor Temple. They also researched the length, temperature and aquatic life of the Nile and compared it to a local river. 

This week, 6FG have been learning about food labels and allergies as part of Allergy Awareness Week. We discussed our own allergies and how they can affect our bodies. After watching a PowerPoint presentation, we put our knowledge to the test and participated in an allergy quiz.

To celebrate the end of our topic, Miss Graham's class constructed and erupted their volcano models. Follow this link to watch our fantastic experiments.

6FG have been really enjoying their hockey sessions with their coach, Diane, from Ballymoney Hockey Club.  They have been learning how to dribble, pass and hit the ball correctly. The class were split into teams today to play matches and we were very impressed with their sportsmanship!  

Year 6FG had egg-cellent fun at our Easter egg hunt. We found eggs in lots of locations around the school grounds. Thank you to the School Council for organising all the Easter activities.

Miss Graham's class rocked their odd socks to celebrate Integrated Education Month!

For Science Week, Miss Graham's class have done lots of STEM work about natural disasters. We conducted a sustainable soap experiment, researched the inventor of the Richter scale, Charles Richter and created junk model volcanoes. 

Miss Graham's class loved dressing up, with their remarkable words, for World Book Day. Our vocabulary parade included words such as agility, flamboyant and indefatigable! We used dictionaries to find and define our words and then used the words in sentences. 

On Friday 1st March, pupils in Year 6 and 7 took part in two programmes from the Love For Life team. The group sessions and year group workshops were extremely informative and enjoyable, in relation to how they shared information about growing, changing and transitioning to new chapters. Staff and pupil evaluations were very positive and we thank parents and carers for their support in this event.
