Dear parents
We know that at this difficult time, we are all concerned about the spread of Covid-19 and as a school community we would draw your attention to the following advice from the Health Agency.

Recently the Nursery children enjoyed their play outdoors and cooking popcorn around the fire pit! The children enjoyed hearing the popcorn 'pop' and watching it change in shape and size! They all loved eating it too!
Everyone in our school community, not least Rev Hawthorne's own family (pictured) were delighted to welcome him to lead his first whole school assembly. Rev Hawthorne, who is also a Transferor Representative on our Board of Governors, taught the children to STOP and THINK about Lent and the importance of looking forward to the Easter Story and ultimately Christ's Resurrection.
We will now look forward to welcoming Canon B Martin and Rev Hawthorne into school once a month to lead a morning assembly.
Dear parents
This year Opus Digital Photography (Roy Clements) is offering photographs to:
P1, P3 & P5.
The idea is to offer the individual and family photograph every other year. However, if your child is in P2, P4 or P6 you can still use the form to opt for a photograph to be taken: we know some parents like the option of an annual photograph! P7 may wish to be included in a family photo too!
Family photos are taken early from 8.30am
Photographs will take place on:
Tuesday 25 February
Please note this date and plan accordingly.
Dear parents

The Principal and staff trust that the children, parents and whole school community enjoyed a peaceful Christmas and a restful New Year! Thank you once again for your wonderful support of all things connected with school in term one.
We look forward to welcoming the children back to school on Monday 06 January 2020. 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 at a later stage. The January dinner menu can be found under the Dinner Menu link.
The Christmas Post Box proved as popular as ever this year! Our Postboys and girls carried out their roles efficiently and all post was delivered daily to each classroom. The total amount raised is £200.00 and this will be forwarded to The Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Belfast as our annual contribution on behalf of our school community.
Freddie Fitness returned to Waringstown Primary School for another fantastic exercise extravagansa! Everyone enjoyed the funfilled, energetic day and both pupils and staff were given a real workout.

This year we plan to hold a non-uniform day on Wednesday 18 December (thereafter children may wear casual clothes for the remainder of the week). We ask that children wear their Christmas jumpers to school on this day or that they simply wear something bright and cheerful. Suggested donation is £1.00.
As a school we have established a link with The Guide Dogs for the Blind and once we reach our £1,500 TARGET FIGURE we will be in a position to adopt a puppy on behalf of the children in our school. Having had our visit from Mrs J Best and Mrs M Hutchinson (from Guide Dogs for the Blind) we have almost reached our target to adopt a puppy and to call him ‘Waring’!
The amount already raised stands at £1,034.50.
We have 184 guests and no members online
