P7 Trip to IKEA - March 2014
P7 Children at IKEA
What a great morning our P7 children had at IKEA and an amazing opportunity and learning tool. Thanks to Nigel our fantastic Young Enterprise volunteer, who as ever went that little bit further for us!
It was lovely to receive very positive feedback about our boys and girls from members of the Business in the Community team too.
To quote Nigel from IKEA "The real stars are the kids and Holywood Primary School always produces a great bunch of future economists and marketeers ably led by the P7 teachers - thanks Mrs Stewart. The Marketing team were very impressed with the presentations that we all know are not easy carry out and particularly so when you are 11. They were brilliant."
Well done P7.

P5 at the W5 Crime Lab
The P5s had an exciting trip to W5 today. They became forensic scientists for part of the day to solve the crime of the stolen computer. They undertook a crime investigation in the W5 lab using fingerprints, chromatography and fibre analysis to eliminate suspects.
The workshop reinforced their skills in investigative science including observation, recording, interpreting and evaluating results.
P7 Trip to Edinburgh 2013
The P7 children have returned from their school trip to Edinburgh. They had a wonderful time and enjoyed the whole experience, with lots of fun and laughter along the way!
They visited the Glasgow Science Centre, Edinburgh Castle, Deep Sea World and even had time to fit in a day at M&D's Theme Park. You'll find the full story on the Edinburgh Blog page.
P2 Visit to Folk Museum
P2 enjoyed a trip to the Ulster Folk Museum. They visited the old town and enjoyed looking at how houses have changed, as part of their Houses and Homes topic.
They visited the farm house, baked soda bread, made straw crafts and washed laundry in the town through interactive workshops.
The children had a ride on an old fashioned bus and enjoyed exploring the old shops, houses and school.
The rain stayed away to give us a dry day and great fun was had by all.
