What an afternoon! Today, the P6B class took ICT to a new level. They used Adobe Spark Video to record and edit a small clip about their WAU topic of Fairtrade.

Each group had to include photographs, music and a theme in their clips which were then watched and peer assessed by the class.

A very enjoyable afternoon of hard work and fun with ICT was had by all!

Well done P6B!

On Tuesday 24th January, Pamela from ABC (Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon council) came in to talk to the children all about litter awareness.

The children enjoyed the activities and were amazed that it could take a million years for some of our litter to disappear!

A really lovely morning.  Thanks Pamela!

On Monday Primary 6 Mr Somerville's class travelled to Tesco in Lurgan for the Farm to Fork experience.

The children had a great day, learning all about where in the world their food comes from and getting a behind the scenes look into the workings of a Tesco store. One of the most exciting parts of the trip was getting to go into the Tesco Cold and frozen storage units.  The temperature in the Frozen store was - 12 degrees centigrade.  It was really cold!

The children were treated to lots of healthy food on the trip and really enjoyed tasting some of the more unusual fruits.

A huge thank you must go to Edel from Tesco for showing us round and looking after us so well on our trip.

Today in Primary 6, both classes took part in a "Fair" test.

The children had a blind taste test of two different bananas, one was Fairtrade and one was not.

The children had to mark the bananas out of 10 for appearance, smell and taste.  The children voted for their favourite.

In both classes, Banana A was chosen as the best in the blind test. The children were delighted to discover that they had chosen the Fairtrade option when the bananas were revealed.

A fun and tasty lesson for all.

Today in school The P6 boys had a really exciting event.  Waringstown Primary School hosted a friendly P6 football tournament with Fairhill Primary school from Dromara. 

The tournament was played on our MUGA pitch and all the P6 boys who have taken part in after school football so far this year were offered the chance to play. We hope to repeat this tournament in Term 2 to give all the P7 boys who attend football a chance to play in a tournament also. 

Mr Brown and Mr Somerville were very proud of all the P6 boys who played really well in all their matches.  We were also very thankful to Mr Brown and Mr Woods from Fairhill who brought their teams over for the friendly tournament. 

After the tournament the boys all received a packet of crisps to round off a great afternoon. Over all it was a great event and the boys certainly seemed to enjoy it.

Here are some photos from the tournament.
