Pupils from Primary 6 and Primary 7 participated in the Cross Country Event which took place on Saturday 03 February 2018 at Stormont Estate, Belfast in association with Athletics NI and NICS Athletics Club. The event started with the Primary Boys Race which was a 1000m course around the Stormont Estate. Each boy had a successful race and were rewarded with a medal and certificate at the finishing line. The Girls Primary Race started swiftly after the boys. The girls also performed well and they too were rewarded with a medal and certificate at the finish. The Waringstown Primary School Squad showed great enthusiasm throughout the event and are commended by Mr McCambley for their performances. The children showed great support towards each other and enjoyed the morning events. Mrs Williamson would like to extend a huge thank you to all the parents and grandparents who travelled to Stormont to support the children competing in this event!

Are you giving your children enough pocket money? :)
Today in Primary 6 we conducted an investigation into pocket money. This focused on the pupils parents changing their pocket money for 12 weeks. They could choose between two options:
Option 1 - You get 1p for the first week, but each following week the amount will double. E.g 1p this week, 2p next week, 4p the week after.
Option 2 - Take 50p the first week and add 50p each week so this week you will get 5op, next week 100p, the week after 150p etc.
Working in groups, the children had to make out a spreadsheet to see which option was best for them. We had great fun with this investigation and look forward to the next one.
Primary 2 had a visit from an architect recently! Mrs Waddington came in to teach us about designing a house and how they built their own house. The children had lots of questions and there were lots of pictures to see!
A huge thank you to Mrs Waddington for being our special visitor for our Houses and Homes topic.
During our topic of 'Wonderful Me' Primary 2 had a very exciting visit from Anna's mum, Mrs Turner. She was able to share with the children lots of information and stories about her life as a nurse. The children were taught new facts about how much blood is in our bodies and also using plastic water bottles to show how specific parts of our bodies work such as our heart.
She demonstrated how as a nurse she would take blood using a special needle and then explained where the blood would go to be tested and checked.
A huge thank you to Mrs Turner for giving the Primary 2 children a very exciting insight into life as a nurse.
P3 have been learning about instructions. One activity was to follow instructions to create a watercress sheep, which was thoroughly enjoyable.

P3 have been studying birds. As part of their activity based learning they made bird cakes, which we placed onto our bird feeders that were provided by the School Eco Council last year.
As part of the Sustrans Active Schools Travel programme we had a 'Ditch The Dark Day' on Friday 26 January 2018.
Many of our pupils walked, scooted or cycled to school. They also wore bright and colourful clothing. Accessories were bright and creative, even bicycles and scooters were reflecting the theme!
A whole school assembly was led by Mr Dave Wiggins, he reiterated the importance of being bright and seen during the winter. Mr Wiggins also carried out a 'Bike Check' on many bicycles brought into school this morning, it was a very busy day as you will see by browsing through our photo gallery:
