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.

On Monday 16th January, P6B travelled to Tesco Lurgan for its annual Farm to Fork challenge. The children were shown all around the Tesco branch and sampled lots of the food! Yum!
How food reaches our forks was taught by Edel, our guide for the day. The children were shown the freezers and allowed a walk into them. They were at -19oC!
Fairtrade was also discussed and the children completed a work booklet on where certain food comes from.
At the end, the P6B children were treated to a snack of healthy fruit.
Thank-you Tesco! We loved the morning spent in your Lurgan store.

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.
