Ballycarrickmaddy Primary School

What a brilliant year of W.A.U. it has been for Primary 5! They have worked at home with energy, creativity, and a level of dedication that deserves a massive well done. ​From deep-diving into history to exploring the natural world and the culinary arts, P5 have thrown themselves into their recent projects with unbelievable enthusiasm. Have a look at what they have been up to.

Indonesia Education Support Fund! 🇮🇩

Our Indonesian pupils finished the school year earlier this month and were delighted to share their progress.

This year we have mainly supported Joyce (13) and Jovanka (6)

Joyce has just finished her first year of post-primary education and she loves learning languages and dancing. This year she has been teaching herself guitar using YouTube.

Little Jovanka loves to read and has made lots of progress this year. Last week she was chosen to represent all the kindergarten students to receive a symbol of acceptance as an Elementary school student, and she also gave a short speech in English. 💙

Thank you for supporting these girls so faithfully each month. Even £1 a month makes a huge difference when added up together!

🌊 P6 Adventure Day Fun! 🎯

P6 class had a fantastic trip today today as they celebrated the end of a very busy period of SEAG tests and assessments! 🌟

The boys and girls headed to South Lakes in Craigavon for a well-earned adventure — and they certainly made the most of it! From tackling the inflatable obstacle course (with plenty of splashes along the way 💦) to testing their skills with adventure air archery 🎯, the pupils had an absolute blast.

It’s safe to say the staff enjoyed it just as much as the pupils… although they may have spent a little more time in the water than planned! 😄

A brilliant way to let off some steam and celebrate all the hard work this term. Well done, P6 — you’ve earned it! 👏

P4 took "hands-on learning" very seriously today—mostly by pressing every single button in W5! 🤖 Huge thanks to the staff and parent helpers for surviving a day of high-energy science and interactive chaos. Educational, exhausting and absolutely brilliant!

This Friday!

Tomorrow!!! No duvets, pillows or dirty clothes allowed! Get clearing out tonight! Please bring bags to school in the morning.

Sports Night is a go! 🏃‍♀️ 🥇 🏃‍♂️

Remember to bring deckchairs for spectating this evening’s sporting extravaganza. Please also bring cash for the PTFA’s summer fair and BBQ!

Well done to our pupil of the week winners and latest word millionaires!

🚜 What a baaa-rilliant day at Bessvale Farm! 🚜🐣
​Our students had the absolute best time trading the classroom for the countryside today. We made so many memories and plenty of furry (and feathery) friends!
​Highlights of our hands-on adventure:
​Holding tiny, fluffy newborn chicks 🐥
​Feeding the very hungry lambs and goats 🐑🐐
​Stroking the sweet, gentle calves 🐮

​A huge thank you to Bessvale Farm for hosting us and a massive thank you to our parent helpers!
