Here’s what’s been happening in Gracehill
Carniny Football Friendly Afternoon
P6s 4-2 win.
The P6s went 2-0 down in the first half and struggled to stay in the game. However, Karter immediately started the second half with a stunning long range strike. The rest of the half the team were electric and went on to come back and win 4-2.
P7s 3-2 loss.
The P7s played out a tough 0-0 first half with lots of energy but nothing to show for it. They went into the lead with a goal thanks to Alfie which silenced the home crowd. Carniny responded with 3 quick goals. A dubious call by the referee ignored Will’s appeal for a penalty and Gracehill, fired up, went pushing for more goals. Will scored a superb breakaway goal to bring them back into it. Carniny held their nerve and played out to win.
Both Gracehill teams showed plenty of spirit and desire which was extremely pleasing to see. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Well done to both teams and thanks to Carniny for hosting.
Ulster Hockey Blitz
P7 had a super morning out at Antrim Forum for an Ulster Hockey Blitz.
Well done girls!
We were delighted to turn our assembly hall into our very own theatre on Friday 29th November for our school pantomime.
Little Bo Peep was extremely enjoyable and got us into the festive spirit.
Many thanks to parents fot supporting this event.

Gracehill’s Ramble for Children in Need 2024
We wanted to celebrate Children in Need day by wearing as much yellow as possible and doing our very own ramble around Gracehill village. We raised a fantastic £480 for Children in Need!
Well done everyone!
Football Friendlies
We are very proud of our footballers who travelled to Cullybackey College on Thursday afternoon. All but 2 of our players were playing football at a senior level for school for the first time and they did brilliantly.
They played four games and won all but one. Very well done to Jacob, Oscar, Matt, Billy, Megan, Finlay, Rory, Charlie T, Charlie B and Karter.
Craft Club!
The boys and girls have had lots of fun at craft club so far this year. They have made scarecrows, autumn wreaths, keyrings, oil pastel paintings and bookmarks so far. Hope you enjoy our photos of our creations.
Odd Socks
To mark anti-bullying week 2024, we joined thousands of children across the UK in wearing odd socks on Monday 11th November.
We love how odd socks symbolise how we are all different.
Football Friendlies
These pupils represented our school so well last Thursday at Fourtowns Primary School. They competed in a friendly football tournament and played Buick, Groggan, Fourtowns and The Diamond.
Well done Noah, Seth, Ben, Alicia, Henry, Toby, Kali, Annie, Callum, Rory and James.
Countryfile Ramble for Children in Need
One of our P5 pupils, Sophie, was selected by BBC Children in Need to take part in their Countryfile Ramble. We are so proud of Sophie and all that she has achieved. She was on BBC 1 on Sunday 3rd November and you can still catch up on BBC iPlayer.
We will be holding our own Gracehill Ramble on Friday 15th November where we will be wearing yellow items of clothing and raising money for Children in Need.

New Hockey Kit
The Bramley Bunch
John, Kye, Archie and Leon were out picking the apples off our trees coming up the school drive.
They were able to sell them to members of staff and the school community for a bargain price of £1!
The boys decided to donate all profits from the apples to school funds. There will be lots of crumbles made this weekend…
