These ranged from dressing up as our favourite characters, writing our own books, listening to stories, reading books to others, presenting our favourite books and much more!

Shrove Tuesday is also known as Pancake Day, or Pancake Tuesday because it is the one day of the year when almost everyone eats a Pancake! This was definitely the case in Waringtown today with all classes indulging in Pancake mania! The children from Primary 1 to Primary 7 really enjoyed choosing the different toppings for their Pancake and then decorating them before they were enjoyed by all!

A large number of our pupils wore their Guide, Brownie and Rainbow Uniform today to show their support for Thinking Day 2014, this is one of the most significant dates in the guiding calendar. On this day, all members of the Guide association everywhere think of each other and of their commitment to international friendship and understanding.
History of Thinking Day
Each year on 22 February, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts all over the world celebrate World Thinking Day.
World Thinking Day was first created in 1926 at the 4th Girl Guide/Girl Scout International Conference, held at Girl Scouts of the USA’s Camp Edith Macy.
Conference attendees decided that there should be a special day when Girl Scouts and Girl Guides all around the world think of each other and give thanks and appreciation to their ‘sister’ Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.
The delegates chose 22 February as the date for Thinking Day because it was the mutual birthday of Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scout Movement, and his wife Olave, who served as World Chief Guide.
