Playground Winners P5 Room 8

CONGRATULATIONS to Mrs Brown’s P5 class  who were winners of the Playground  Competition from February to June. The children have tried  really hard to play well together, be kind and helpful as well as lining up quickly at the end of playtime.  A special treat was arranged for them at the Edge Coffee shop in Holywood. They had a great time!

A fond farewell to Mr Widdowson

Mr Widdowson, our Crossing Patrolman who has worked at Holywood Primary School for almost 12 years, is retiring.

Mr Widdowson joined us for a special Assembly to allow us the opportunity to say good bye.

We thanked Mr Widdowson, ‘Laurence’, for his loyal service to the school.

We presented Laurence with a gift on behalf of the HPS community. We were so glad that he could be with us to receive it and see everyone!

THREE CHEERS FOR LAURENCE!
