Siona Domenech has been teaching P.7 Spanish for
ten weeks from 2nd March. She taught the class how to
say colours, greetings, numbers, popular foods, songs,
games and objects around the classroom in Spanish.
For one hour every week the children have been
learning how to say numbers 1-15, 9 colours and 24
greetings in Spanish.
Siona was born near Barcelona. She has 5 sisters,
both her parents and lots of uncles and cousins.
When Siona left Spain she was twenty. |

where she got her degree.
She now lives in Whitehead, where she has lived for
7 years. Siona learned to speak Spanish when she was
very young. She speaks Catalan, English and Spanish.
Siona has visited France, Holland, Mallorca and
England. She left Spain to do her last degree in
Oxford. She likes living in N. Ireland and she likes
Whitehead, the Giants Causeway and Irish stew. The

| VISIT TO THE
COUNCIL DEPOT |
|
Reported by Simone, Courtney and
Georgia.
We are doing a project about litter. We went
to the Council Depot in a bus. Mrs. Stewart
took us inside and gave us crisps and juice.
We went outside and saw a bin lorry. The bin
man showed us how the rubbish is tipped
into the lorry.
We saw the big and small sweepers. Mrs.
Stewart told us all that we should recycle
things all the time and that we must always
put our rubbish into a bin. It was a
brilliant trip. |

including wood, glue, paper, string
and a plastic cup was made available
to each group. Greystone Primary
School (in Antrim) came first.
Although the boys didn't win a prize

| Being
Energy Efficient |
|
| Primary six children learned
all about Energy Efficiency last
week when Ms Bingham from Bryson
House came to school. She gave a
talk about electricity and how it
was made and then used in homes,
schools and factories.
Everyone heard about how fossil
fuels like coal, oil and gas are
running out and how it is important
to reduce our use of energy. |
