Mrs Thom's class have been working hard to produce lots of art for Ballymoney Show. We have been busy making pastel pictures, collage from recycled paper and drawing or painting a picture of our favourite pet. In addition we have been using our digital skills to make a poster on mental health, a book cover and lovely pictures using the Artset App. Have a look at our beautiful work! 

Year 7NT enjoyed their third week of the Terex Engineering Programme this week. They thought more about their designs from last week and started to put the parts of their machine onto card before decorating them. 

They also enjoyed sorting materials using different sized sieves as well as taking turns to use the VR headset to use the Terex machines in a quarry. 

We are all learning lots of different skills and all about engineering! 

Congratulations to George and Oliver, two of our Year 7 pupils, for making their Sacrament of Confirmation today. 

The boys joined with the Year 7's from St Brigid's Primary school at Our Lady & St Patrick's church in Ballymoney. Thanks very much to Fr McCaughan for the lovely service and to the staff of St Brigid's for making us feel so welcome.

Year 7 were delighted to receive their Leavers' Hoodies today. I'm sure you all agree they look very well.

Year 7 have been using their coding skills to create rotating patterns of a square, triangle and hexagon.  They needed to use their numeracy skills to think about the number of sides and angles required for each shape initially, and once they had created their code, they then thought about how they could use the 'repeat code' command to create a spiral design by rotating the pattern through 360 degrees. The children created some lovely patterns! 

Tempest Photography will be with us next week on Wednesday 24th April 2024 to take class photographs for S&L as well as Primary 1 and Primary 7 

Children should be looking smart in their Full School Uniform.

Details of how to order the class photographs directly through Tempest will follow.

Last term Year 7NT have been learning all about the Titanic through their 'Unsinkable' topic. 

Have a look at the foyer display to see some of our lovely work!   

Attached is an outline of the Year 7 Leavers' Trips. Thank you very much to everyone who has already booked The Lake, Kilrea. All bookings are now live via the app and will close 13th May.

Year 7 completed their carousel activity linked to their new topic 'Are you wise?'

This term we are looking at transitions to our new schools and things we need to do for the first time such as catching a bus, reading our timetable and organising our resources for each subject! 

We will also be looking at other themes such as Keeping Safe both on line and when we are walking or cycling by ouselves. 

We also thought about other responsibilities we may have as we grow up such as having a part time job and being responsible for managing our money. 

After we discussed all these topics each group composed questions they would like to find out during this term. 

Extended closing date for orders - 10th April

Year 7 Hoodies
Dear Parent/Carer
 
Following the success of previous years, we are offering our current Year 7s the chance to order a leavers’ hoodie in the school colours. There will be a choice of colour for the inside of the hood.
 
Year 7 pupils can wear their hoodies at break and lunchtime. Please note we are very proud of how smart our pupils look in their full school uniform, so the hoodies will not replace our current sweatshirt/cardigan.
 
On the front of the hoodie will be the school logo and an option for your child’s initials. We recommend intials only to be printed rather than a name for the safeguarding of your child. On the back there will be the first names of all the Year 7 pupils. 
 
Cost of the Hoodie
The cost of the hoodie starts at £23.59 with an additional charge of £3.00 for added initials.
 
This year we will be using an online company to produce our Year 7 Hoodies. You will need to order your child’s hoodie by visiting the link below. Please see the size guide on the website to help you select the appropriate size. The online shop wil now close on 10th April.  Please note orders received after this date will be more expensive.
