The whole school dressed in spots and stripes to help celebrate Children in Need 2019. Classes 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!
The Nursery children recently enjoyed a visit from Miss McAnearney's class who read them stories. The children were very excited and it was lovely to see some older siblings came to read!
The Nursery recently enjoyed a trip to Lurgan Library, where David read stories to the children and then everyone got to look at the selection of story books on the shelves.
Primary 3 enjoyed their visit from the Stem Team. They were able to build their own battery powered cars and race them against each other. It was a fun filled day as the photos show.
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!

Odd Socks Day
In conjunction with Children in Need today, it was fantastic to see all of the pupils wearing their odd socks in support of Anti-Bullying at the start of the week.
It was a great opportunity to encourage our pupils to express themselves and to celebrate their individuality and what makes them all unique!
The pupils took part in many fun activities throughout the week and have learnt the importance of standing up and speaking out when they know it’s the right thing to do. Most importantly, the pupils know that they have the power to make change happen and ensure that every pupil feels happy and safe both inside and outside school.

This year the goal is to inform schools and settings, children and young people, parents and carers to know that it takes a collective responsibility to stop bullying. We are excited for this campaign as we want to create empowering, positive messages addressing the fact that when it comes to bullying CHANGE STARTS WITH US!

Just before the mid term break our boys’ football team travelled over to Drumgor PS for the annual October Football Festival. The boys were placed in a tough group with Carrick, Mullavilly, Edenderry and Ballyoran.
The first game against Mullavilly was very close and we managed to score late into the game to secure a 1-1 draw. Next, we took to the field to play Carrick PS and we ran out 2-1 winners. A tough game against Edenderry was next with some excellent defensive play on display the game finished 0-0. The final group game against Ballyoran was crucial and the boys managed to win 4-0.
These results secured our boys top spot in the group were we would face Bocombra PS in the quarter final. After a tense match the boys scored a late winner in extra time to win 1-0 and reach the semi finals. Carrick PS waited in the semi final and the result finished the same as the group stages with the boys working so hard and playing great football to win 2-1. The final was again a very hard fought match against Hart Memorial PS. There was very little separating both sides, but all of the boys managed to perform to their very best and won the final match 2-1 to win the Mid Ulster Schools -October Football Festival. All of the boys played their part in this success and represented our school so well. Very well done boys!
