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.
