Irvinestown Primary School

Welcome to Year 7!

Our class teachers are Mrs Woods and Mrs McElroy.

We hope you enjoy having a look at some of the

learning taking place in Year 7 this term!

VICTORIAN DAY 

As part of our topic work, Year 7 had a fantastic (albeit sometimes quite frightening) day in school gaining an insight into what life may have been like for children in Victorian times. They were firstly introduced to Mrs Anderson (the Victorian school teacher) and got to experience what it may have been like to be a child in a Victorian classroom. After lunch, they met Mrs McKinley who was the Matron of Lowerstown Workhouse. They became inmates of the workhouse and gained a deeper understanding of how tough it was for families and children back then.

P7 pupils were very glad to know that Mrs Anderson would not be returning to teach them the following week and that they did not need to bring in any turf for the fire! 😊

We researched safely online and created fact files about Famous Victorians using the Pic Collage app.

We love PE! So far this year, we have enjoyed participating in the Daily Mile and multi-skills sessions as well as playing lots of different team games such as: netball, basketball, rounders and dodgeball. We have also been learning some Victorian PE drills.

REMEMBRANCE DAY 2025

'Threads of Remembrance'

GAME-BASED LEARNING WITH MINECRAFT EDUCATION

USING ADOBE EXPRESS

DEVELOPING DIGITAL WELL-BEING

At the beginning of this term, we studied different styles of self-portraits and completed our own inner/outer self-portraits. Often, our Art work is linked to our WAU topic. We created Victorian style silhouette portraits and we also studied the life and works of Victorian artists: William Morris and Charles Renee MacIntosh. We created our own artwork featuring the 'MacIntosh rose' and we had a go at replicating some the wallpaper designs by William Morris.
