Primary 1 Pumpkin Day

      

 

Primary One had a fantastic day investigating pumpkins. We learnt that they are vegetables and how they grow from a seed in a pumpkin patch. We looked at the pulp and the seeds and carved a friendly pumpkin face. Miss Carson and Mrs Morrissey made delicious pumpkin soup for their classes to taste. It was yummy and very healthy! We had 2 pumpkins stories – ‘Pumpkin Soup’ by Helen Cooper and ‘The Pumpkin Patch Parable’. The parable contained a Christian message. A bible verse can be found on the back of the masks which we made during Structured Play. Enjoy looking at the photos. Can you guess who we are behind our masks??

Lurgan College Hockey Blitz

Last week the girl’s hockey team headed to Lurgan College for a ‘Blitz’ hockey tournament run by Ulster Hockey. The girls played eight matches against local schools and won every match. A huge congratulations to the girls. It has been a great start to the hockey season!

Scripture Union - 'Thankful and Fruitful'

Scripture union have had a wonderful first term of fun and Bible teaching.  We have been thinking about being 'Thankful and fruitful'. We learned about the parable of the sower and Ruth and Boaz.  We played seed games and our memory verse for this term was Psalm 107:1 "Oh give thanks to the Lord for He is good, His steadfast love endures forever." The children learned sign language for this verse and had to rearrange fruit and vegetables to put the verse in the correct order.  We are so thankful to Suzie from Waringstown Presbyterian church who came and taught us about the fruits of the Spirit and how we had to be connected to Jesus, the vine, for us to grow fruit.  What a fun few weeks!

Primary 2 trip to Palace Stables

 

Primary 2 travelled to Armagh Palace Stables on Monday for their 'Apple Trip'.  We learned how apples came from the tree, to the factory, to the shops and to our homes.  We saw how apple juice was made in the 1700s and how to make apple potato bread.  We made our own 3d apples in the craft room and played apple games!  A super day which was enjoyed by all the children.

Primary 1 make red jelly

   

 

Primary 1 made lots of new discoveries when making jelly as part of their “Red Topic”!

 

They watched the jelly cubes melt when the boiling water was poured on.  A wooden spoon was used to stir the jelly.  The jelly liquid was put into the fridge to cool and set.  The next day we checked the fridge and the jelly was no longer a liquid, it had set!  It was wibbly, wobbly and ready to eat!  We all agreed it was the best jelly ever! It was DELISH!

Well Kept Waringstown Sunflower Competition

 

Congratulations to all the boys and girls of Waringstown Primary school for taking part in the Sunflower competition. Well Kept Waringstown Association, who ran the competition were so impressed by all the children’s sunflowers and found it very difficult to pick the prize winners. We had many children who received a goody bag for their amazing sunflowers. However, we had three children who were given a first, second and third prize. Tarryn Ardis came third, with a sunflower height of 196cm, in second place was Adam Coffey, with a height of 202.5cm and finally our first place prize winner was given to Ethan Coffey, whose sunflower measured a staggering 217cm. We would like to thank Well Kept Waringstown Association for kindly donating the wonderful prizes, which were given to each of the prize winners. Finally, well done to all the boys and girls who took part.

Primary Three Autumn Trip

 

The Primary Three children headed to Greenmount for an autumn walk experience. We arrived with the rain pouring but left with the sun shining. The children had fun looking at all the different autumn leaves and their seeds. They also heard about animals which hibernate and those who gather and store food. We had a great day exploring the wonderful grounds of Greenmount. View images below.
