Primary Seven enjoyed their visit to the Ulster American Folk Park in Omagh this week to conclude their detailed study of the Irish Famine. The children heard much of the poverty and famine conditions as well as seeing the harsh living conditions in the 1800's. We were able to see soda bread being made on a griddle over a turf fire and sampled some pancakes made in this traditional way.
After arriving at the docks the guide explained how traumatic the crossing to America would have been with such cramped space below deck. After the sailing we arrived State side and saw the log cabins and ranch fencing as well as experiencing some delicious corn bread and cherry pie.
All in all, this fabulous visit brought the whole topic to life and complemented the classroom studies perfectly.
A huge thank you for all your donations for our Bag2School collection. The items were collected today and will be making their way to Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe.
The weight of all our collections came to 619.5kgs, which has raised £278.78 for the school. This is the biggest amount we have raised through this initiative over the past few years. The money will be used by the School Eco Council to buy items for our children throughout the school.
Many thanks indeed for helping us with this unique recycling and fundraising opportunity.
Rested and returned from their hectic trip to London, the primary sevens had great fun this afternoon during their role play about Parliament.
The new law being debated was suggested by Patrick Woods and agreed upon by Harry Wan and James Seifert. This law involved the formation of new Post-Primary School in Great Britain – schools which would encourage more practical subjects and therefore, careers, such as in ICT, Engineering, Hotel Management and in traditional trades such as plumbing and gardening. These new schools would exist alongside the current academically minded schools but would provide another route for pupils wishing to pursue these specialised careers. The debate was whether the government would consider placing greater funding in this sector of Education.
The discussion was hot and heavy on the floor of the House but was presided over by a very able speaker, Callum McDowell, and two assistants, Harry and James. The leader of the opposition was Niall Patience and the Prime Minister was Matthew Spence!
The vote held by the speaker at the end of the session was close but the decision was made to agree to the formation of these new schools and the new bill was passed to the House of Lords for approval!
Careers in politics might also be a future option for some members of Primary Seven S!

During the Fairtrade Fortnight, the children in P6 had Gemma and Emma in from Armagh Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council.
The two ladies had a PowerPoint concerning Fairtrade and played a retailer consumer game with the children.
Both classes thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward to learning more about Fairtrade in Primary .
Thank you Gemma and Emma
On Thursday 7th March EVERY child who attends P7 football practice got a chance to represent the school.
Each P7 child "pulled on the jersey" and took part in a tournament with our P7 friends from Dromara (Fairhill Primary).
Each Boy had five games in total, lasting 10 minutes each.
The boys seemed to really enjoy the day which ended with a wee snack of crisps, kindly sponsored by Mr Brown.
Well done to all concerned
Primary 5 have been enjoying learning about Friendship in PDMU with Mrs Matthews on Tuesday afternoons. They had great fun building the friendship web in the photographs. Every time they said something nice to someone the web grew but when someone said something unkind the web was broken.
Today in Waringstown Primary School we had a really special treat. The New Life Choir from Uganda came in to host a very special assembly filled with African song and dance.
A small choir of very energetic children performed lots of songs for a very eager audience. The Waringstown pupils and staff were blown away by the amazing lively songs and the vibrant performance from the choir. Some pupils and staff from Waringstown even got to dance and sing along. It certainly was an enjoyable morning.
The children from the choir stayed with us after assembly for a little while and joined our KS2 children on the Top Pitch for break-time play. The children were welcomed as new friends and a memorable break-time was had.
If you wish to catch their full performance they will be at Waringstown Presbyterian Church this evening at 7pm tonight.
Below is a video with some highlights from the performance.

Wow! What a night in Waringstown Primary School for the P6 and P7 children.
GodmodeX arrived in school and set up a fun evening for all. They set up Playstation 4 consoles, Xbox one Consoles and a WiiU Console. The children got to play a wide variety of games including FIFA, Mario Cart and Just Dance. Everyone had a really fun evening taking part in the games and competing in various tournaments.
The night for the children ended with a talk from God Modex on the Theme of treasure. The parents also had a really valuable talk on internet and gaming safety from God Modex who provided really practical information and steps which parents can take to ensure internet and computer games safety in the home.
Thank you GodmodeX hopefully we will see you back again next year.
