The whole school dressed in spots and stripes to help celebrate Children in Need 2018. They explored www.bbcchildreninneed.co.uk with Pudsey Bear. The money they raised will help to provide grants for projects that will improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the UK. Well done all in WPS!
This morning P4G performed their OPERATION BLUE assembly as part of Anti-Bullying Week 2018. The theme of Anti-Bullying week this year is 'CHOOSE RESPECT OVER BULLYING.' All the children carried out their roles brilliantly, be it performing, reading or the technical aspect of the PowerPoint.
The message of choosing RESPECT was based around the acronym B.L.U.E. To show respect we should be;

It is Anti-Bullying Week, this is coordinated by the Northern Ireland Anti-Bullying Forum. Anti-Bullying week takes place from Monday 12 November until Friday 16 November 2018. The focus of Anti-Bullying Week 2018 is on the theme of RESPECT.
Under this theme we are encouraging our children to think about what RESPECT means to them, what it feels like to be respected and how they show respect to others. Overall, we are exploring how respect for others can build an anti-bullying culture in our schools, youth groups and wider communities.
Primary 4 Mr Gault's class are hosting a whole school assembly tomorrow on the theme of 'Operation Blue' which will further raise awareness with our children. Click on the following link to find out more information on Anti-Bullying Week:

Primary 5 thoroughly enjoyed a recent visit to the Ulster Museum in connection with their World Around Us topic of The Egyptians. The children enjoyed time in the Learning Zone led by a qualified Archaeologist, here they were able to identify and handle various artefacts from Egyptian times before heading up to Zone 2 in search of the famous Mummy Takabuti!

During our visit to the Museum Primary 5 got an expected treat! The Dippy the Dinosaur Tour is currently visiting the Ulster Museum so we were very fortunate to get a convenient time slot to visit this very interesting exhibition. As part of a road trip across the UK, Dippy has ventured out of London for the first time since 1905. He is visiting the Museum from 28 September 2018 until 06 January 2019. Primary 5 found the full 292-bone skeleton in its displayed pose very impressive. He is 21.3 metres long, 4.3 metres wide and 4.25 metres high. We found great difficulty in getting the whole skeleton fitted into a picture!

Just before the half term break both P6 classes had a great visit to Lurgan Junior High School. The children were taught by the L.J.H.S staff for the day giving Mr Mitchell and Mr Brown a well-deserved break!! Check out the pictures in the Read More section below to see the children enjoying the day!
Using Water wisely was the theme for the children in Primary 6. The Water Board provided a talk all about how the children could save water and at the end of a productive morning, presented each child with a water bottle to help them stay hydrated! Click Read More to see some photos of the session.
