As part of our recent WAU topic on materials the two primary 6 classes carried out a scientific experiment on kitchen roll.
Each group was given a variety of kitchen rolls which the children brought in from home. The groups then had to devise an investigation to carry out to see which kitchen roll was the most absorbent.
Lots of equipment was left out for the children to use and the children worked very hard to devise their experiment.
All thoroughly enjoyed the P6 science challenge and when mums and dads go out shopping next time, remember the saying, "You get what you pay for."
The dearest kitchen roll, BOUNTY was the overall winner!
Plese look at the photos below.

On Friday 26th February both P6 classes were treated to a Fairtrade talk and discussion by Nicky and Mandy from Sainsbury's Craigavon.
The classes found out that Sainsbury's are leading the way with regards Fairtrade and in 2007 became the first supermarket in the UK to convert thier entire banana range to 100% Fairtrade.
Mandy and Nicky left lots of Fairtrade products for the children to sample and a competition to be completed by each child.
Thank you Mandy and Nicky for the brilliant talk and for all the treats

This week, the two P6 classes went on a class trip to Tesco. The children had a fantastic time investigating where their food comes from. They had to carry out investigations in the aisles regarding various foods and got to make some tasty snacks with bread cheese and ham.
The children then got to see the store rooms and freezers at the back of Tesco that the public don't normally get to see. The children were shocked at how cold the large freezer store is at minus 16 degrees centigrade and didn’t stay in for too long!
After this the children got to see how the bakery department works and helped the bakery team put the sugar on donuts.
The final part of the day was a healthy snack of fruit kebabs in the staff canteen. They also got to eat pancakes which had been made specially for them that morning.
This was a fantastic trip which the children really enjoyed and got a lot out of.

In P6S, the children have been doing some writing related to our WAU topic of Fairtrade.
Their task was to write a letter to a major Supermarket chain and encourage them to stock more Fairtrade coffee.
It was a really great activity and all the children enjoyed coming up with persuasive reasons and language to persuade their audience to make a positive change. The two videos below, are of the children who wrote the winning letters reading them out.
