Our P7’s have been exploring the exciting world of electrical circuits!
This term, they investigated how series and parallel circuits work, experimenting with different components such as bulbs, switches, buzzers and motors to see how electricity flows, how changes affect a circuit’s performance and tested materials to discover which ones are conductors and which are insulators.
Building on their growing expertise, pupils applied their understanding of complete circuits to design and create their very own steady hand games. From shaping the wire track to assembling the buzzer and power source, they combined creativity with engineering skills to produce fun, challenging games that put players’ steady hands to the test!
It’s been a fantastic hands‑on learning experience that sparked curiosity, problem‑solving, and plenty of ‘light‑bulb moments’ along the way.

This term, our Primary Seven class embarked on an exciting research adventure exploring the fascinating country of Japan as part of our World Around Us topic. Each group chose a unique aspect of Japanese life to investigate, for example food, technologies, fashion, culture, anime and geography. The results were both creative and informative!
Each project was presented with pride and the classroom was transformed into a mini Japan exhibition. We’re incredibly proud of the effort, creativity and curiosity shown by our Primary Seven pupils. Their work has helped us all understand and appreciate the wonders of Japan a little more.

Over the past five weeks, Primary Seven have been diving into the exciting world of Scratch coding with Mr Sloan — and what a journey it’s been! Pupils explored the basics of block-based programming, learning how to animate characters, create interactive stories, and build mini-games. Each week brought new challenges and opportunities to problem-solve, collaborate, and think like real coders. We’re so proud of what Primary Seven have achieved. A huge thank you to Mr Sloan for inspiring the next generation of digital creators. We can’t wait to see where their coding journey takes them next!

Primary Seven have had a fantastic start to the year! We've been buzzing with excitement as we dive into our bee-themed topic, learning all about these incredible insects and their importance to our environment. The classroom has been filled with creativity as pupils made colourful bee pompoms and we've also been developing our digital skills through fun and interactive coding sessions with Mr. Sloan. It's been a brilliant beginning, full of learning, laughter and teamwork!

Primary 7 pupils recently took part in an interactive podcasting workshop, led by Niall from the AmmA Centre, Armagh. During the session, pupils used iPads and the GarageBand app to record audio, add music and sound effects. They layered the different elements to produce their own podcast.
This hands-on experience allowed them to develop their digital literacy, creativity and communication skills in an engaging and enjoyable way. We are very grateful to Niall and the AmmA Centre for providing such a valuable learning opportunity.
