Our topic in Primary 7 this term is ‘Choices for Life’. Throughout this topic we are learning about how to make safe and sensible choices in life as we grow up and move on to high school.

This week we experienced our first of four sessions of PARTY from Youth Alive (Providing Alcohol Related Training for Young people). These sessions are designed to help us to develop our understanding and awareness of how to stay safe when faced with the decision of drinking alcohol.

This week we learned about units of alcohol. We learned how many units are recommended on a weekly basis for an adult and learned about ‘love your liver’ days. We each had to guess what one unit of vodka looked like in a glass before Ali showed us an exact measurement!! Many of us were VERY far off with our guesses!!

At the end of the session we each were given a mocktail to try. This weeks mocktail consisted of lemonade, orange juice and grenadine sugar syrup! Yum!!!

We are really looking forward to next weeks session already!
