Primary Seven

MORE FUN in Primary 7

P7 is a special year - the last year in Carrickfergus Model before moving on to post-primary school. Mrs Kirkland and Mr Colgan are our teachers this year and while we work very hard in P7, we also create lots of lasting memories. Term 1 will see  us introduced to our buddies - a special responsibility where we are paired off with a primary 1 pupil from either Miss Manson or Mrs Berry's class and we engage in weekly activities which can range from play in the outdoor learning area, art and craft activities, helping with phonics, I.C.T. mental maths games, making s'mores to name a few.

We pick up from where P6 left off in regards to SEAG, focusing on exam technique and ensuring we're well prepared for November. We offer tailored dedicated time for those not sitting SEAG - engaging and child centred activities focusing on literacy and numeracy.

After Christmas there's plenty to keep us engaged - becoming playground pals, WW2 topics, 'big school maths' and even running our own businesses.

Our P7 residential is a source of great excitement and in the past we have went to London, York, Birmingham and Edinburgh.

In the final term we challenge ourselves with our Athletics scheme, team reading, Jass award scheme and our 'Titanic Day'. We also take part in local football, hockey, rugby and cricket tournaments before our very special leavers assembly.

Forest Schools Programme

As part of our Forest Schools programme, P7 pupils have enjoyed building dens, making forest-floor maps, whittling wood, making big hotels and generally exploring the outdoors. P7 have particularly enjoyed using tools to work with natural materials and also being able to work in small teams to problem solve in a practical setting.
