Shared Education Day for P3!

All the P3 boys and girls in Holywood Primary travelled today to the Queens Leisure Complex in Holywood to meet for the first time with all the P3 pupils at Glencraig Integrated Primary for what promised to be a fun filled day! Both schools were excited and enthusiastic about their first meeting as part of their Shared Education Partnership.

The P3 pupils experienced lots of icebreaker games to get to know each other followed by lots of activities to keep both the pupils, staff and parent helpers entertained. The pupils from both schools worked together in groups to complete arts and craft activities and parachute games before all coming together to do lots of dancing during our energetic Zumba class! Mr Atcheson stole the show with his own rendition of the Cha Cha Slide!

All the pupils finished by singing a lovely song all about friendship before waving goodbye! All the P3 pupils I’m sure will be looking forward to meeting up with their new friends from Glencraig Integrated Primary School very soon! :)

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.
