Ballymoney Model Integrated Primary School

On Wednesday afternoon, the Year 6 classes joined together for a gymnastics lesson. We progressed from single balances to pair balances and discussed the importance of being a spotter. Check out some of our fantastic balances.

Miss Graham's class participated in Road Safety Week by creating road safety posters for pedestrians and drivers, designing be bright, be seen outfits and customising their uniform for Ditch the Dark Day. 

Miss Graham's class took part in a range of activities for Friendship Week. These included whole class friendship discussions, writing about the qualities of a good companion, making stop cyberbullying posters and creating digital artwork. 

Look at the beautiful artwork prepared for Remembrance Day by Miss Graham's class. They used mixed-media art techniques to create a World War silhouette picture. Miss Graham was very impressed with everyone’s shading and blending skills!

This term. Y6FG's topic is titled 'Hunger'. As part of this, they have been learning about the Great Irish Famine and reading the novel 'Under The Hawtorn Tree' by Marita Conlon-Mckenna. The class had a go at building their own famine cottages using junk materials. These are now proudly displayed in our foyer! 

We had a fabulous time at our half term disco. We busted some moves and got a sweet treat afterwards. What a great way to end our first 9 weeks in Year 6. Mrs Getty and Miss Graham wish you all a lovely break. 

6FG have really enjoyed learning about The Great Famine and The Victorians. Check out some of the things we have been up to in class. 

Miss Graham's class really enjoyed taking part in a range of activities to mark Maths Week Ireland 2023. They participated in problem solving that focused on logical reasoning, played lots of mental maths games and enjoyed sharing their strategies with the rest of the class. 

On Monday, Miss Graham's class participated in a table tennis taster session with two coaches from Ulster Table Tennis. The coaches taught the pupils forehand, backhand and the basic rules of the game. Everyone really enjoyed taking part and showing off their table tennis skills.
