HPS Christmas cards 2018

The Christmas cards designed by the boys and girls were great this year!

Special congratulations to Matthew (P6) and George (P7). Their Christmas cards were chosen by Mrs Crookshanks as covers for Holywood Primary School’s Christmas cards that will be sent to other schools this Christmas.

WELL DONE boys!

PTA Christmas Fair another great success!

Many thanks to everyone who came along to support the Christmas  Fair. A highlight for many of the younger children this year was a  visit from Santa!
We are so grateful to the fabulous parent volunteers,  family friends and Priory College pupils who helped to set up earlier today, man  a stall and / or help to tidy up extremely well afterwards. It was so  encouraging to see a number of new faces on the PTA team today along with the  familiar HPS faces too. It simply made everything so much easier!
A special  mention to Kellie Shimmin and volunteers who have been working really hard to  prepare for the Fair over a number of weeks. Their teamwork ensured everything  ran smoothly and hopefully allowed parents and grandparents to relax while the  boys and girls had great fun. Thanks also to Kellie Grant for co-ordinating the  great raffle prizes too which were generously donated by local businesses and  families closely connected to HPS . 

**********************A FANTASTIC TOTAL OF OVER £2400 WAS RAISED !**************************
Once again thank you so much for all your help and supporting the Fair today. There certainly was plenty of Christmas cheer at HPS!

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! :)
