17 May 2021 Blog: my week in the news

Hello! I really didn't like this week's story about the fighting between Israel and Palestine, it must be so worrying for all the people affected. I saw on the news that children are being killed by bombs and rockets. The situation has been going on for so many years now, I really hope they can agree on peace once and for all.

I liked Laurie's story though about toy recycling, although I don't really think this is 'news' - shouldn't companies be doing this all of the time? My brother has soooo many plastic toys at home, we're trying to organise them at the moment so we can give away some of the toy sets we no longer play with. It would be good to know though that at least we can recycle them. I would never ever throw toys away to go into landfill.

I always enjoy hearing about mental health awareness week, although we didn't really do much in school this year to celebrate it, as school was closed most of last week due to the Eid holidays. Still, mental health awareness is very important and it's very important to look after your brain as well as your body.
