Details: Category: Forest Schools; Published: Tuesday, 25 February 2020 13:43

P4G had a special Forest School lesson today as they displayed what we do to a group of Stranmillis PGCE Students accompanied by Mrs McClelland. As P4 have been looking at maps in both their 'Life in the Recent Past' and 'Polar Region' topics, it got us talking about birds eye and aerial views. The children, after completing a perimeter walk of the school last week, had to design an aerial view of the school grounds using only the materials around them.

Each group had a chance to talk about what they made and were questioned by their classmates, encouraging using cross curricular skills and many of the thinking skills and personal capabilities as outlined in the NI Curriculum.

The children also spoke with the visiting students and were great ambassadors for Waringstown Primary School. We're very proud of how well they listened and behaved.

Details: Category: Latest News; Published: Monday, 10 February 2020 16:22

Dear parents

This year Opus Digital Photography (Roy Clements) is offering photographs to:

P1, P3 & P5.

The idea is to offer the individual and family photograph every other year. However, if your child is in P2, P4 or P6 you can still use the form to opt for a photograph to be taken: we know some parents like the option of an annual photograph! P7 may wish to be included in a family photo too!

Family photos are taken early from 8.30am

Photographs will take place on:

Tuesday 25 February

Please note this date and plan accordingly.

The work of NIFSA (Northern Ireland Forest School Association) is constantly developing and this year they have introduced three accreditation levels for Forest Schools to work on. Today, with the work we've already completed, we were accredited with the 'Elder Award Status.'

Hopefully, by the end of the year, with the development of our own Forest School P4 Curriculum and aiding in the training and development of Forest School in other schools, we will achieve 'Birch Award Status' and then 'Oak Award Status.'

We'll keep you posted.
