Today Y5D went to Tayto to learn how potatoes from the farm are turned into crisps in the shops. We had great fun and learnt many interesting facts. e.g. the factory stores 400 tonnes of potatoes. All the waste is recycled. We got to taste many different flavours and even came home with a 6 pack of our favourite crisps.

Today we wore non-uniform to school and donated £1 to Newry hospice we raised £28 as a class. We also had to wear a number on our clothes because of numeracy week. Sophie's mummy very kindly made us delicious buns with numbers on them. YUM YUM!
