P1 had a very special visit from Miss Carson and baby Billie to help them with their Baby Topic. Miss Carson brought in lots of equipment that she needed for baby Billie and talked to us about how she uses it all. We asked so many interesting questions and learnt lots about babies. Thank you so much Miss Carson and Billie for coming to visit Primary 1. We loved having you back in school!

We are delighted to congratulate our latest group of Golden Postcard recipients! These special postcards, awarded by Mr McCambley, recognise pupils who consistently demonstrate hard work, kindness and excellent behaviour both in the classroom and out in the playground.
Seeing so many pupils earn this recognition at the very beginning of a new school term is truly wonderful. Each recipient should feel incredibly proud of their achievement.

As we begin a new year, many families have welcomed new devices into their homes after Christmas; phones, tablets, gaming consoles and other technology that can access the internet. While these tools offer great opportunities for learning and fun, they also bring risks if not used safely.
At Waringstown Primary School, we work diligently every day to ensure our pupils are protected and learn how to use the internet responsibly. However online safety starts at home too. Parents play a vital role in guiding children and setting boundaries.
Why Talk About Online Safety?
Children aged 4–11 are curious and eager to explore. Having open conversations about what they do online helps them feel supported and confident to ask for help if something goes wrong.
Start with simple questions:
- What apps or games do they enjoy most?
- Do they know what to do if someone they don’t know messages them?
- How can they make sure their time online is safe and fun?
Three Steps for Safer Internet Use:
-
Set Parental Controls
Use built-in tools on devices and apps to block inappropriate content and manage screen time.

We had a wonderful morning with the tutors from the EA Music service. We learned about the different instruments in the orchestra and sang lots of Christmas songs. Some of the children helped with the percussion and Mr Gault even had a go at conducting! A fun-filled morning that was enjoyed by all the children and staff. A huge thank you to the EA Music service. Merry Christmas!
