Our football team travelled to Fourtowns Primary in Ahoghill to compete in a 7-a-side tournament.
Representing The Buick with teamwork and skill, the boys worked hard all afternoon and finished the day unbeaten.
We now progress to the area finals held after Christmas.
This year, our Nursery and Primary 1 Open Day will take place on Friday, 12th December.

This week, some of our Primary 6 and 7 pupils took part in the Ballymena Schools’ Netball Newbies Tournament, competing against 15 local teams.
Our girls played extremely well throughout all six matches, showing fantastic teamwork and scoring some impressive goals. Well done to all the players for their effort and enthusiasm!
Netball training has now finished for this term, but we’re already looking forward to more training sessions and exciting matches in the New Year.
This week in school we are all taking part in Kindness Week. We are focusing on how we can be kind and caring to each other in school. We are taking part in circle times, designing our own super heroes for a whole school competition and completing art work.
Watch out for our little yellow stickers which all members of staff in school are giving out this week when they see kindness in action.
On Wednesday morning we celebrated Harvest with a special assembly. The choir, instrumentalists and P6QC with the help of Rev Clements reminded everyone of the joy of God’s harvest season. We explained the importance of sharing and the special promises God has made about seedtime and harvest. P6QC used drama to retell the story of Elijah and the widow and her son in Zarephath. It was a very special morning and everyone involved did their part brilliantly.
As part of our Learning Outdoors Forest Fridays initiative Primary 2 enjoyed a wonderful Autumn walk through Galgorm Wood. The children took part in an Autumn colours scavenger hunt and relished the opportunity to observe the sights and sounds of this beautiful season.
As a school, we have been focussing on fostering a positive attitude, and there has been no better example this week regarding the school’s football team’s temperament. After a difficult start, the boys rallied and managed to put a string of winning performances together to finish runner up in the group, therefore qualifying for the Semi Final. A tight game against Gracehill Primary led to a 1-1 finish at full time.
Unfortunately, an extra time “Golden Goal” saw Gracehill into the final. Our team played with adept skill and showed themselves to be a team with grit and determination.
They are also a team that displays outstanding sportsmanship, on and off the pitch. During one game, the senior players led the team over to a player who received an injury during the game to check he was Ok and tell him he had a great game. What a team of real class!
Well done boys! You have set a high standard. Your sportsmanship and technical football was also noticed by other schools.
Netball training has started for Primary 6 and 7 pupils on Tuesday afternoons. The girls are enjoying developing their skills such as passing, shooting and defending through a variety of drills. During each session they are growing in confidence and building on their teamwork.
Children from P5 are attending SU this term. There have been games, crafts and stories from the Bible. We have been discovering promises made by God. So far we have learnt more about Noah and Moses.
We have enjoyed reading more about the stories using our new school bibles.
Next term it will be P6’s turn. Many thanks to Rev Moffett and Eve McMullan whose energy and enthusiasm help to make SU such fun.
On Tuesday morning P6 visited Cuningham Memorial Church. Many thanks to Rev Mullholland who answered all our questions and showed us lots of interesting Victorian artifacts. We learned lots about the history of our local church during Victorian Times.
Miss Orr accompanied us on the trip and we are going to create lots of amazing art with her based on our Victorian theme. Even though it was a very wet morning for a walk we all had a great time.
