They participated in a project focusing on paper marking and products as part of the Primary School Challenge, organised by Sentinus.

The pupils visited a link business, The Ban of Ireland in Coleraine as part of the initiative.

Within the business, the pupils recognised their individual strengths, whether it was production, market research, design, finance or advertising and promotion.

Each had an important role to play.

K3, Killowen Kidz Kompany, produced handmade Valentine cards and decorated jars of hearts.

The products will go on sale in the school.

Once the project is complete it will be entered for a Gold Level Primary School Award.
