Waringstown Primary School enjoyed a wonderfully festive atmosphere today as pupils and staff gathered for a special Easter Lunch in our canteen. The tables were beautifully decorated with spring colours, creating a warm and cheerful setting for everyone to enjoy.

Our talented canteen team prepared a delicious seasonal menu, and the children were delighted with the treats and surprises that made the meal extra special. Laughter, conversation, and excitement filled the room as everyone shared in the joy of the Easter season.

A huge thank you to our dedicated kitchen staff for their hard work and creativity, and to all the pupils who made the occasion such a happy and memorable one.

We wish all our families a very happy Easter!

Our Primary 5 children have been having a fantastic time at Bike Club this term, guided by Dave Wiggins from Walk, Cycle, Wheel Trust. Each week after school, pupils arrive eager to hop on their bikes, learn new skills, and enjoy the outdoors in a fun and active way. They have been learning about bike safety and developing their cycling skills.  The activities they have been participating in not only build strength and coordination but also help pupils learn how to ride safely alongside others. We are very proud of how well our Primary 5 cyclists are doing and are extremely grateful to Dave Wiggins for sharing his expertise.

P6 Mr Allen’s class took on the role of “Capacity Detectives” last week as they explored estimation and measurement through a hands‑on investigation. Working in teams, pupils estimated and measured the capacity of a variety of containers, comparing their predictions with their actual measurements. The highlight of the lesson was a mystery challenge were each group had to examine clues and decide which container they believed caused a ‘spill’. Through careful thinking, discussion and practical measuring, pupils applied their Numeracy skills in a fun and engaging way.

This week in Forest School, we pulled on our wellington boots and coats and headed outdoors for a full perimeter walk of the school grounds.

The children explored a variety of terrain, enjoying the chance to move, climb and wander through areas they don’t usually visit. Along the way, they helped to collect any litter they spotted, showing great responsibility and care for their environment.

The children were then tasked with creating an aerial view picture using whatever materials they could find.

During our end‑of‑session evaluation, many of the children said they had discovered parts of the school they never knew existed! It was wonderful to see their excitement and curiosity as they explored.

Due to one of Mr Gault’s P4 pupils winning the Adobe Express Junior Newsdesk competition, the whole class were treated to a well‑deserved pizza party. The children had great fun celebrating together and loved the chance to enjoy their lunch out in the sunshine. It was a lovely way to recognise their classmate’s achievement and share the excitement as a team.

Mr Gault’s Primary 4 class delivered a wonderful assembly today all about Forest School. Every pupil played their part in showcasing the outdoor learning they have enjoyed this year, from teamwork challenges to hands‑on nature activities. The children spoke confidently, shared their favourite moments, and demonstrated just how much learning can take place beyond the classroom walls. It was a vibrant and engaging celebration of our Forest School programme.

On Tuesday 10th March our Primary Seven pupils enjoyed an unforgettable day at the world‑famous Titanic Museum in Belfast. Stepping inside the iconic, ship‑shaped building, the class embarked on an immersive journey through the story of RMS Titanic—from its origins in Belfast’s bustling shipyards to its legendary maiden voyage.

Pupils explored interactive galleries, heard real-life accounts from the people who built and sailed on the ship, and even experienced a thrilling ride through a recreation of the Harland & Wolff workshops. Highlights included viewing original artefacts, standing beside life-size recreations of cabins, and discovering the science and engineering behind one of the most famous ships in history.

The trip was both educational and inspiring, bringing history to life in a way that sparked curiosity, discussion, and a deeper understanding of Belfast’s remarkable maritime heritage. It was a memorable experience the children will be talking about for a long time!

Today our Primary 4 pupils went outside to continue their current maths topic of symmetry. Some children worked in groups, some in pairs and others by themselves, to create a symmetrical picture on the ground of whatever they wanted. Afterwards, the children had opportunities within the classroom to look at all the photographs and discuss just how symmetrical they were.

This was a great opportunity to extend our Primary 4 pupils' knowledge of symmetry.
