P3- P7 Sports Day action

The sun shone for our P3&P4 and our P5-P7  SPORTS DAYS this year!

A jam packed Sports Day at Sullivan Playing Fields saw the children taking part in individual finals and team events. They used a range of athletic skills to earn points for their Houses and win medals. This year the fabulous Tug of War competition was one of the highlights. 

The overall winners of House Sports Day were Blue( Ballymenoch)  House!

Our P3 & P4 boys and girls had a lovely morning at their annual Sports Day. Running, relay races, a sack race , egg and spoon and obstacle races were thoroughly enjoyed by the children and the many spectators. It was lovely to see the children leave very proud of their vast collection of competitor stickers on their t-shirts!

WELL DONE TO EVERYONE INVOLVED! Enjoy looking at some more photos in the gallery section of the website in the coming days. 

Such a special Summer Serenade

A wonderful afternoon of musical talent was on display! Every child in the school had the opportunity to perform in front of a packed audience. A number of boys and girls from P5 - P7 played flutes, trumpets, clarinets, violins, and a guitar. Each Year Group gave a wonderful rendition of music. Our P4 choir relished the opportunity to perform in front of an audience. P1 were so enthusiastic when they introduced and sang 'You’ve got a Friend in Me' ( but scary when the Baby Sharks came along!). P3 sang 'Count on me' with a lovely back drop of photos showing great memories from their year together. P2 Pirates and P5 Egyptians were spotted on the stage too! P7 did their very own HPS version of  'Just Can't Wait for Year Eight'. The audience thoroughly enjoyed when the P6 children and the P5-P7 choir sang songs from 'The Greatest Showman'. 

The P4 pupils gave a memorable rendition of A Thousand Years. There were a few tears from staff and in the audience!

Thank you to all the children and staff who put together such a varied programme of music for everyone to enjoy and remember for a very long time.

HPS Sunny Summer Fair 2018

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WAS INVOLVED OR CAME ALONG TO SUPPORT THE SUMMER FAIR 2018. 

We are so grateful to all the staff, parent volunteers and past pupils who helped to set up the Fair, helped at the stalls, cooked at the BBQ, counted money and helped to tidy up after the Fair. It was great to see the children having such fun and also lovely to see some new families and people from the local community join us too. Thanks also to a number of new faces on the PTA team of helpers along with the familiar HPS faces too!To top it off, the weather was fabulous which was perfect for the traditional soaking from the firemen! The chanting from the boys and girls 'Soak us more' could be heard far and wide! A special mention to Kellie Shimmin who co-ordinated the event & our PTA Treasurer Chris Fleming along with a number of mums and dads who have been working in the background to make the event such a success. It ensured everything ran smoothly and hopefully allowed parents to relax whilst the boys and girls had great fun, which is what it is all about. We don't have a provisional total yet for the Fair & Ballot put will let you know as soon as we hear. We hope you like the pictures below!
Before the end of term we will let you know how money raised by the PTA this year has and will be used to benefit the children and school. Once again, 10 out of 10 for the infamous HPS Summer Fair!
