P6G Art work

P6 have been busy creating some fantastic art work to go with our Victorians topic. We used pencil to sketch portraits of Queen Victoria, adding details with shading.

Next we created chimney sweeps with chalk and charcoal. This was trickier as you cannot rub out mistakes!

What do you think?

P6G Smoking Matters

Last week Lisa Ashby came in to talk to us about the dangers of smoking and how to say no. We looked at all the chemicals in a cigarette and we were shocked- poison and embalming chemicals? Yuck ! We tried running on the spot and breathing through a straw to see what it would be like to have lungs of a smoker. It was horrible and really difficult!We also found out that smoke can stay in a house for 6 hours, even if the doors and windows are open.  It will soon be illegal for adults to smoke in a car with children present.

Thanks to Lisa for coming in to talk to us!

P.A.R.T.Y with P7 – week 1

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!
