P4 and P5 have been learning all about 'The Environment' and this was the theme for their assembly this week.  The children reminded us that when God created our world he made it wonderful and beautiful. However people over the years have been spoiling it and now we have to look for ways to help care for the environment we live in.  They told us how we need to pick up litter, recycle, use less water, use less energy and use less fuel. 

Over the past number of weeks we have had Miss Kelsey Cubitt with us.  Kelsey is a third year student at Stranmillis and she has been teaching in the P4 and P5 classroom. Thanks to Kelsey for preparing the children for assembly and for using her musical talents to prepare songs for the children to sing.  One of their favourite recycling songs was set to the tune 'Hit the Diff'

Plastic bottles, paper, cardboard,

Glass and aluminium items.

Magazines and old newspapers,

Separate the rubbish out now.

CHORUS

 Rubbish, rubbish everywhere

You know what to do.

You put it in your hand right now

Throw it in the bin please do.
