Welcome to the Year 7 page. We have three classes in Year 7; Mrs Manogue (Room 12), Miss Orr (Room 10), and Mr Murray (Room 9). All three classes are on the top corridor.

Here you will find more information about what we do and how we do it. It is also a place where you will be able to find links to help and support you in your learning. We will continue to update the page throughout the term to keep you informed about what we are learning in school.

Year 7 Photo Gallery

We wrote our scripts for a news report on Spring coming to Narnia. We used Green screen to film them and edited the final report in iMovie.

We had a fantastic day  at the Titanic museum! We got to explore the Nomadic, the tender ship that took passengers out to the Titanic. We also took a walk around the outside and discussed all of the symbolism that is in the design of the building and the surrounding area. The highlight, however, was visiting the galleries inside where we got a guided tour as we explored each level and took a ride through the ship yard as if we were riveters and climbed almost as high as the Arrol gantry!

Our third and final session of the Good relations project took us to Clandeboye Estate where we met up with pupils from Comber primary school. We had a tour round some of the grounds and learnt about how the soldiers were trained here before going to fight in France. We also thought about how some people from different sides of the community may not have got along at this time but how when they went to war, they fought alongside each other and looked after each other. 

Day 2 of our Good relations project took us to the Somme Centre. Here we got to look more closely at the ammunition and weapons used during WW1. We heard about how young boys were recruited as soldiers and how some even lied about their age to be able to sign up. Finally we got a tour of the trenches to try and imagine what it would really have been like to be there. 

Day 1 of our Good relations project - We were joined by Nicky, a local historian, who explained what was happening in Ireland just before WW1. We learnt about Home Rule and the points of View of Redmond and Carson. We also learnt about what started WW1 and how both side of the community in Ireland got involved. Nicky also brought lots of artefacts that the pupils could hold and try on!

We designed pictures using 2D shapes. Then we used algebra to count the corners in each picture, a much faster method!

Session 1 of the Young enterprise Business beginnings program. 

Thanks to the Spectator for donating newspapers to help us learn about what make a good news article. 

Some of our P7 pupils recently undertook Buddy training so that they can make lunchtimes even more fun for P1-P4!

Mrs Manogue’s class visited the Town hall to learn about its life in Victorian times. They then visited the walled garden and pretended to be apprentice gardeners. Most applicants were successful though a few didn’t make it out of the greenhouse in time! 

We looked at maps of Victorian and modern Bangor. We were surprised at how many more houses there are today and most of us could find where we live. 

Year 7 are learning about the Victorians and the inventions from that time. They experimented with how to light a light bulb and progressed their learning to making a burglar alarm that buzzes when an intruder steps on it. We’ve got the safest rooms in the school now! 😄

The Year 7s have been learning about Brunel and his innovative designs. They used what they had learnt to build the strongest bridges they could 😄

We were learning about the Linen industry in Victorian Ireland, we then had a go at some weaving ourselves. We think they turned out pretty well!
