Anna, from NI Water was in talking to P5D today about how important it is to try and reduce the amount of water we are using each day. She explained how the water cycle works, what happens each day to the dirty water we make and how water is cleaned. The WAU topic for this half term is 'Our World' and the children will be looking at how we can reduce the amount of water we use each day, learning about the plastic pollution that is happening all over the world and the names of the seas all over the world.

During our 2D shape revision today, we had fun being shape detectives and investigating shape pictures to find out how many of each 2D shape we could find. Then, we enjoyed making our own fairytale shape castles, having started our new ‘Once upon a time’ topic this week.

What a start we had to our week in P7 today!
We had a wonderful workshop from the Chinese Confucius Society from the University of Ulster. Yuan came into our classroom and demonstrated how to use chopsticks. She then challenged us to use them to eat popcorn! Some of us found it easier than others, but despite that, all the popcorn was eaten!!! We then did some blow painting of flowers and created some beautiful art work. The last activity in our classroom was learning how to spin a Chinese handkerchief - that was lots of fun!
After the workshop in the classroom, we were treated to an amazing display of Chinese Opera and dance in the hall were we learned all about the 'Changing Faces'. We also learned about the story of Nian and the significance of this for Chinese New Year.

The children recently participated in week 1 of the ‘Healthy Me’ programme, with Laura from Action Mental Health. P6M discussed feelings and how different factors can change the way we feel. The children explored strategies on how to have a positive mindset and breathing techniques to help us feel calm when annoyed or stressed. The children also discussed the importance of having good physical health, to have good mental health. We really look forward to exploring the rest of the programme with Laura over the next few weeks.
