Mr Dougherty
We had a special assembly to celebrate the achievements of those pupils leaving us at the end of June to begin the next step in their adventure of life.
Good luck from everyone at Jordanstown School.
Quote from a leaver,
“This school has definitely changed me as a person and if I didn’t go to this school I wouldn’t be the person I am today, I wouldn’t have had much support if I hadn’t have went to Jordanstown.”
The pupils of Jordanstown School took part in a mental health afternoon. They discussed what made them feel stressed or ‘down’ and what strategies they could use to help in this situation.
We finished the session with a cuppa and a chocolate biscuit to remind them to always take time to talk to friends and family.
In Science pupils were looking at how shoe sole casts are made at crime scenes. We had to use our observation skills to match the patterns.
Groups tried taking their fingerprints to see how different we all are. We had fun making mini villains.
In Technology and Design pupils were learning about structures and how they are used in everyday life. We focused on Geodesic domes, the creator of the domes and how they are formed. Pupils created small Geodesic Domes using art straws and also paper. We also constructed a life size structure. This allowed pupils to experience how Geodesic domes are created using triangular construction.
KS3 and KS4 pupils participated in Art workshops to promote S.T.E.A.M day. Pupils created a colourful tactile mural of science instruments and imagery to be displayed and enjoyed in school.
In Maths the focus was on financial capabilities, specifically all the different ways we can pay for things and how to do it safely.
The use of ATM’s – how to use them safely, how to look out for ATM’s that have been tampered with and what to do if you see anything suspicious.
The use of chip and pin in shops – how to cover your pin number, what to do if your card is lost or stolen etc.
How to use contactless payment.
The differences between credit, debit and cash cards.
How to write a cheque.
How to buy things on the internet and how to do it safely.
We discussed new payment techniques, eg. Apple pay, and the advantages and things to watch out for with these.
On Monday the 10th June Jordanstown School had their annual sports day. Thanks to everyone who made it a wonderful morning.
Lord Lieutenant of County Antrim Mrs Joan Christie CVO OBE, Deputy Lord Lieutenant Mr Steven Montgomery and Cadet Catherine Hill came to visit Jordanstown today.
