There was great excitement across Waringstown Primary School as we officially launched our brand new class iPads for all pupils. This exciting development marks an important step forward in enhancing teaching and learning throughout the school.
Pupils from every class had the opportunity to explore the new devices, using a variety of engaging and educational apps. Activities included problem-solving with Lightbot, creative coding through RoboCodo, hands-on programming with Bee-Bot Garden and fun, interactive learning with CBeebies apps. Each session was filled with enthusiasm as pupils quickly developed new skills and confidence in using technology.
The children greatly enjoyed their time with the iPads and have already gained valuable experience in areas such as coding, logical thinking and digital literacy. It was wonderful to see pupils collaborating, experimenting and learning together in such an engaging way.
We are very much looking forward to continuing to use these iPads to enhance and support teaching and learning across the curriculum. The future is bright at Waringstown Primary School and we are excited about the many opportunities that this new technology will bring.

Our P7 class recently took part in an engaging series of three workshops with Suzie Parkes, all focused on preparing for the exciting move on to secondary school. Throughout the sessions, the children explored the different changes they can expect next year, shared and discussed their worries and highlighted the many exciting opportunities ahead.
The workshops provided a supportive space for pupils to reflect on their feelings, build confidence and develop strategies to manage the transition successfully. There were plenty of thoughtful discussions, as well as opportunities for the children to connect and realise they are not alone in how they feel.
To round off the experience, the class enjoyed some well-earned water fun, which was a fantastic way to celebrate their participation—something the children absolutely loved!
We are very proud of how positively our P7 pupils have embraced this important step in their journey and a massive thank you to Suzie and her friends for coming in.

Primary One recently enjoyed a truly unforgettable day in school.
The children arrived dressed and ready for a sunny holiday adventure. They checked in with their passports and luggage, received their boarding passes, passed through security, and made their way to the departure lounge.
Once “on board,” the excitement continued as the children relaxed after take-off and enjoyed an in-flight snack, served by members of our very own Primary 1 Cabin Crew.
It was a wonderfully imaginative and memorable experience for all, as you can see from the photographs — enjoy!

In Primary 1 we have been learning all about the farm, so we were very excited to visit Streamvale Farm with our friends.
We travelled there on a big bus, which made the trip even more special. At the farm, we saw a wide variety of animals and had the opportunity to feed the hens.
We also enjoyed stroking chicks and baby rabbits (called kittens) — they were all so cute.
One of the highlights of our day was a ride on the big green tractor, where we sat together in the trailer. We had a fantastic day at the farm and made lots of wonderful memories.
