Primary Seven enjoyed a visit to the Ulster American Folk Park in Omagh this week to conclude the study of the Irish Famine and emigration.
The children heard much of the poverty and famine conditions as well as seeing the harsh living conditions in the 1800's. The guide explained how traumatic the crossing to America would have been with such cramped space below deck. It's hard to believe that 8 - 12 weeks could have been spent crossing the Atlantic in a sailing ship whereas today we expect a similar crossing to pass within hours on a luxurious aeroplane whilst snacking and perhaps watching a movie.
After the 'sailing' on a full scaled emigrant we arrived State side and saw the log cabins and ranch fencing of the American Frontier.
All in all, despite the rain, this fabulous visit brought the whole topic to life and complemented the classroom studies perfectly.

P7 children have been learning the art of face-painting in Mrs Munce and Miss Young’s afternoon classes on a Monday. Miss Young (who face-paints outside school) has been teaching them the various brush strokes and health and safety that goes with face painting. They have done a great job and had lots of fun!!

Primary Seven enjoyed a visit today from Margaret McKee who has lived and worked in London for over twenty years. Miss McKee's work is in the Palace of Westminster. We normally meet Miss McKee on our London visit but this year, as she's working from home more often and home just happens to be ... you guessed it ... Waringstown, we were delighted to invite her into school today to tell us about her work in The Houses of Parliament.
Her talk introduced us to some of the famous faces from parliament, past and present and informed the children of the building's Victorian heritage. We're now in a much more informed position to visit the palace and have been set some things to look out for when we're in the building.
Thank you Miss McKee for a wonderful talk!
