The whole staff would like to wish the pupils, parents and wider Waringstown Primary School community a very Happy Christmas!
Thank you once again for your wonderful support of all things connected with school.
School resumes on Thursday 04 December. Please note that after school clubs will not begin in the first or second week of the new term. Start dates will be posted on the website.
The whole school came together to celebrate the real meaning of Christmas in an Assembly led by Mr McCambley.
Many of the Christmas traditions were explained by Mr McCambley. The focus at the end was the Nativity scene where Baby Jesus was placed right at the HEART of our celebrations. We closed the assembly with a rendition of ‘Away In A Manger’ and a prayer.
During our christmas assembly we celebrated with Mr McCambley's golden postcard recipients. Well done to all!
Recently Waringstown Primary School took part in the nation-wide event ‘Northern Ireland Does The Daily Mile Santa Run!
Children were encouraged, as appropriate, to run or jog for most of the time and keep walking to a minimum.
We all know that being more active, more often, makes us feel that little bit better. This was a great opportunity for our children to think about their own mental health and what makes them feel that bit happier.
Children wore their school tracksuits alongside a Christmas Jumper to support this event. Everyone enjoyed their time outside and accomplished the Daily Mile Santa Run. Take a look through our gallery to see how we got on:
Having fundraised for Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke through our 'Red Dress Run' last year, we had the pleasure of having Christina and Sarah from the charity come in to school to receive their cheque of £430.
The children were delighted to have been able to actively participate in the Assembly which highlighted the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
Thank you so much to everyone who supported the Shoebox Appeal 2023. The response was fantastic and we know how much these gifts will be appreciated by those who receive them.
Millions of children around the world are impacted by these simple shoebox gifts. One box can touch not only just the child, but their whole family.
The Dairy Council were in school today delivering their Food and Fitness programme to Primary 5 and 6. The pupils enjoyed an active session with Sarah learning about the different food groups including dairy products and the importance of exercise in our lifestyle. It was a lovely morning and all of the children enjoyed learning and participating.
Today our whole school joined together for a Remembrance Assembly. Mr McCambley led the assembly, highlighting the importance of the Poppy, explaining to the children how the leaf of the poppy should always be set at the 11 o'clock position. This is to remind us of the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month when the armistice was signed. The children participated in the assembly and carried out the act of remembrance to remember those who died.
