The children have really enjoyed having the opportunity to meet the author, Ed Wicke. They enjoyed his storytelling sessions and he gave them great advice for writing their own stories. We really enjoyed the message he had for all pupils which was to find an author and books that they enjoyed and have fun reading. P5 pupils also had the opportunity to do some creative writing with Ed and he was really impressed with their imagination and creativity.

P4 Forest School 2025: Aerial View (With Stranmillis PGCE students)

Details: Category: Forest Schools; Published: Friday, 21 March 2025 13:12

P4 had a special Forest School lesson today as they displayed what we do to a group of Stranmillis PGCE Students accompanied by Mrs McClelland. As P4 have been looking at maps in both their 'Life in the Recent Past' and 'Polar Region' topics, it got us talking about birds eye and aerial views. The children, after completing a perimeter walk of the school, had to design an aerial view of the school grounds using only the materials around them.

Each group had a chance to talk about what they made and were questioned by their classmates, encouraging using cross curricular skills and many of the thinking skills and personal capabilities as outlined in the NI Curriculum.

The children also spoke with the visiting students and were great ambassadors for Waringstown Primary School. We're very proud of how well they listened and behaved.

What a wonderful day welcoming all the children into school to spend a day focused on books and stories. It was fantastic seeing so many children throughout the school dressed up and bringing in their potato and egg characters related to the books they enjoy reading. The Assembly Hall was filled with so many different characters from different books. It really was a sight to behold. A huge thank you to the parents and adults at home that made this such a memorable day for the children by helping with costumes and crafts.

Enjoy looking through the photo gallery to see if you can recognise any of the characters.
