The Nursery children recently enjoyed the small flurry of snow. They took the opportunity to go outside for some outdoor play. Take a look through our photo gallery to see how much fun we had!
Today saw the start of Forest School for some of our current P4 children. Straight after break time, we put on our wellington boots and coats and went on a perimeter walk. The children walked over all sorts of ground, and helped to pick up litter that they came across. During the evaluation, the children said they had found parts of our school they didn't know existed! It was great to get outside!

As part of our houses and homes topic, Primary 2 very kindly had a visit from Mr Wickie to teach us about his job as a builder. He taught us the importance of wearing protective clothing on the building site to keep us safe. We then together made our very own house out of wood, lots of children got the chance to use the screw gun to screw the pieces of wood together, it’s not every day we get to make our very own wooden house, such a treat!
Thank you so much Mr Wickie for taking the time out of your busy day to come in to school, for our wonderful new wooden house and the yummy sweets and chocolates.
As part of our houses and homes topic, Primary 2 had a visit from Mr Irwin to teach us about being an architect. We saw plans of houses and learned how to draw and design a house of our own! A huge thank you to Mr Irwin for taking the time to come in to school and for the wonderful drawing pencils and sweets he provided for each child!
Today Primary 4 dressed up as evacuees and traveled to Palace Stables, Armagh. We enjoyed a day steeped in the 1940's!
The classes were separated and went to different activities; One was an interactive information session looking at the contents of an evacuee's suitcase and learning about what life was like in homes during the war as well as looking at gas masks for babies and children.
Another station was into a 1940's school room - very different to our own where children were "seen and not heard." Here we made our identity cards and personal labels which would have been with us at all times on our evacuation.
We also met "Sergeant Balton," the GI soldier from Texas. He told us what his job was like and trained a few of us on our gun handling. He even gave us some nicknames, just like he said it was in the army.
In another room, we met the evacuation officer, Mr Heaney. He told us all about how and why evacuation took place. He also told us about the importance of "black outs" for homes and air raid shelters to keep us safe from German bombs. We even visited an air raid shelter in the grounds of the Palace Stables. He made some of us wardens, who kept the rest of the class in order.
We enjoyed a picnic lunch before heading back to school.
This day has been a great way to conclude our World Around Us Topic! While it was great fun we are all glad however, that we live in 2020 and not 1940!

Primary 2 spent a lovely morning walking around Waringstown village, observing the different types of homes and buildings. The children worked with a partner and recorded their findings on their tick sheet. Take a look through our gallery to see how we got on.
P1 had a very special visit from Mrs Wilson and baby Teddy to help them with their Baby Topic. Mrs Wilson brought in lots of equipment that she needed for baby Teddy and talked to us about how she uses it all. We asked lots of interesting questions and learnt lots about babies. Thank you so much Mrs Wilson and Teddy for coming to visit Primary 1. We loved having you back in school!
