Primary 2 spent a lovely morning walking around Waringstown village, observing the different types of homes and buildings. The children worked with a partner and recorded their findings on their tick sheet.
Primary three loved using the apparatus during our gymnastics lesson. They showed great balance, strength and confidence at each station. Click read more to see the images.
Motoring Ahead with P7
The bright sparks in Primary 7 have been learning all about electricity. We have made simple circuits, series circuits and parallel circuits to light more bulbs than Lurgan Christmas lights. James Connor from Sentinus visited each class and showed us how to make an air powered balloon car. It is very likely that by the time P7 are doing their driving tests most cars will be powered by electricity so we investigated motors and discovered how they work. Using a battery pack we swapped balloon power for a motor to power our cars. There was no stopping us as we experimented with 4 wheel drive, double battery packs and extra motors to refine our designs. We also had fun with solar power and spinning magnets. Watch out Elon Musk - the next great electrical invention of the 21 st Century could come from one of our amazing WPS P7 pupils.

It is simply impossible to fully express the debt of gratitude we as a school owe to Mrs Fitzpatrick, our School Secretary. Her sterling service to the children and staff of our school has been exemplary. We wish to pass on our very best wishes as she embarks upon a fresh start with her husband, children, grandchildren and extended family.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity to Mrs Fitzpatrick. Each child in the school was able to present her with their class card as they walked by the Central Office. Pictured are Mrs Fitzpatrick’s two grand-daughters presenting her with the gift from the school children.
No-one fully understands how a school operates unless you have worked within a school community. So much of Mrs Fitzpatrick’s work is unseen. However, we have never once taken her work, support, loyalty and kindness for granted. I personally owe Mrs Fitzpatrick a debt of gratitude that can never be paid!
A huge part of my role is leading the school’s ‘altogether times’ and one of the things that I miss most due to the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions is our Morning Assembly.
However, we were able to celebrate the real meaning of Christmas once again together virtually as the children watched my Christmas Assembly in their respective classrooms.
I still long for the days when we can all come together safely into the Assembly Hall.
