“The pupils really enjoyed doing all the different subjects and getting to know each other,” said Head Of Year Seven Laura Kelly.
“It’s a chance for them to make themselves familiar with their surroundings so it doesn’t seem so daunting on their first day.
“They learnt about metal flame tests in science, tie dyed T-shirts in textiles, practiced orienteering in PE and learnt about musical patterns that repeat in music.

“Every day a child was also nominated from each subject and they were given a certificate and voucher.
“As a reward there was also a visit from an ice cream van on Friday!”
Katelyn Nadine, who was at St Mary’s RC Primary School, said: “It’s been good getting familiar with the school and I have enjoyed the music and PE lessons.”
