​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.

Today was the boys' turn at Parkhall for the Ulster Hockey Blitz. Another successful day with just under half the team playing their first ever hockey match. The team won three out of the five matches.

The girls' hockey team travelled to Parkhall in Antrim for an Ulster Hockey Blitz. The girls played tremendously well and were undefeated in their 6 matches. 

Primary Four had a great day at the Ulster Folk Museum. We enjoyed a lesson in the old school house, which was rather chilly, but very interesting! P4 aren't sure if they would have liked school in the 1950s or not!!

Congratulations to this group of boys who played really well at the Ballymena 7-a-side finals this week. We were already so proud of these boys for making it this far in the competition - it's a big honour to play on finals day!

They beat Ballykeel 2-1 and drew with Buick to top their group and met Carniny PS in the semi-final. It was a tense match which went to extra time... and unfortunately Carniny scored in the last moments to win 1-0. We are extremely proud of this team - well done boys!

We were delighted to welcome some guests to school on Wednesday morning this week. The Right Rev Dr Richard Murray, Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, visited Moorfields PS as part of his Ballymena tour. We really enjoyed hearing from him in assembly.

Primary 2 had a fantastic morning with explorer Alan from Wee Critters. He brought some rainforest animals and we had lots of fun learning about spiders, cockroaches, toads, snakes, owls and armadillos! Look how brave we were!
