Primary 7 have proudly donated £250 from their ‘Wooden It Be Fabulous’ profits to MacMillan Cancer Support. Three members of school staff (Mrs McClintock, Mrs Clements and Diane McLaughlin) are part of a team called ‘The Hopefuls take 4’ who are completing a full hike at the Giant’s Causeway in June to raise much needed funds for MacMillan Cancer. Primary 7 explained that they not only wanted to donate to support staff members, but they also wanted to do something that would give back and help people in the local community who had been very supportive of their business venture, so they chose MacMillan Cancer because they are aware of the amazing work MacMillan do, supporting people with cancer and their families. ‘The Hopefuls take 4’ team have set up a Just Giving page for people to support them in whatever way they can. All donations will be greatly appreciated.

On Tuesday our rugby team headed to Coleraine RFC for an Ulster Rugby Blitz. The team played brilliantly and won 3 out of their 4 matches!

Huge congratulations to these two boys who will be representing Moorfields Primary School in the Irish Minor Schools' Championships in Dublin this weekend.

​Congratulations to all winners.  

Miss Galloway’s Primary 7 class of young entrepreneurs were absolutely overwhelmed and are deeply grateful for the incredible support shown towards their ‘Wooden It Be Fabulous’ business venture. The enthusiasm, encouragement and support shown by customers and supporters meant the world to the pupils. Primary 7 would like to thank customers who purchased products, donated, spread the word or simply offered kind words of encouragement and support as this all played a crucial role in the success of the pupils’ business. Pupils realise that the support they received helped them not only to achieve their business goals but have also created lasting memories for them in their final year of primary school and pupils are truly fortunate to have such a supportive community. 

A special thank you to businesses who donated raffle items or gift cards/vouchers towards ‘Wooden It Be Fabulous’ including Ashley Ritchie who is Asda’s Community Champion, Lidl and Creative Gardens. The class are very grateful to Eugene Diamond from Diamond’s Newsagent who donated a jar of sweets for the class to have a ‘Guess the number of sweets in the jar’ activity. Thank you to Mrs Elliott of Faith, Hope and Love Woodcraft for providing a lasering service to the class and a huge thank you to Philip McLaughlin of N & P Tyres, who sponsored the lasering work done on wooden products. Thank you to Love Ballymena who displayed an advert and poster created by the pupils advertising their trade event and our thanks are also extended to Ballymena Guardian for publicising the trade event too. Our final thanks go to our two dedicated classroom assistants, Diane and Sandra, who have gone over and above their job role throughout the entire business venture. 

Primary 7 would like to thank everyone involved in their business from the bottom of their hearts for believing in them and for helping to make their business venture a resounding success. In the words of Primary 7, “We couldn’t have done it without you.” Primary 7 described it as a privilege serving members of the public and other pupils in school.

’Wooden It Be Fabulous’ raised a ‘treemendous’ £2205.41 in total and after deducting £200 of a start up loan (which was used to purchase raw materials and provide a float) Primary 7 are left with a ‘treemendous’ profit of £2005.41. They will be making a donation to a charity of their choice and the remainder of their money will be used to treat themselves to a well deserved end of year treat, helping them to create even more memories before leaving Primary 7 at Moorfields.

Primary 7 are getting ready for their trade event on Friday 21st March in the school assembly hall. 

We are so proud of our netball team, the Ballymena Tournament Champions! These girls played extremely well and battled hard too! After an undefeated group stage, they went on to win their semi-final and met St Mary’s Portglenone in the final. It was 4-4 at full time; an amazing match! Extra time followed, and our girls eventually won 8-6 and lifted the trophy! Congratulations to the girls and coach of the season, Mrs Nevin!

Well done to our P4 class who led Assembly this week, teaching us all about school and life in the old days!

Lots of music, fun and games at our Valentine’s Parties - have a look at our gallery of photos!

Primary 2 had great fun today investigating rainclouds.
