Second Term 2025 

January and February- 2025

This half term, our Primary 2 topic is called 'Long Long Ago'.  We will be learning all about DINOSAURS and their amazing lives!  The boys and girls will be using Newsdesk to explore lots of interesting facts as well as enjoying both fiction and non-fiction dinosaur stories together.  Alongside this, the children will be making their own unique dinosaur fossils using salt dough which will be amazing!  They will be using a range of malleable materials to make dinosaurs and will strengthen their problem-solving skills by building dinosaur caves/dinosaurs using lego and other construction materials. 

The Primary 1 topic is called 'People  Who Help Us'.  We will be learning about different roles in school and jobs in the community.  There may also be some special visitors in to talk to us. 

Throughout all of the exciting activities that are planned, our children will still be working very hard to further develop some core social skills.  This term our focus will be on teaching the children how to wait for their turn and how to work effectively within a group.

This half term we also plan to get creative in the kitchen and bake a selection of delicious treats.  We will also talk about what kind of foods the dinosaurs would have eaten and how it is important that we eat a healthy and balanced diet.

We hope to spend lots of time exploring and learning in the outdoors within this topic so please ensure that your child comes to school with a warm waterproof coat each day.

Thank you for your continued support.
