Primary 3B are focusing on a new topic in Term 4 which we are referring to as ‘The Seaside’.  We are just at the beginning of this topic and so far have focused on how the sun and moon impact on the tide, explored different types of seaweed and have tasted it. We are moving on in the next few weeks to explore rock pooling, conservation, dolphins and will learn how to cook over an open fire. The class are all excited about our trips out on a Wednesday with Wild Things who are supporting us in our learning this term. Within the class we are further investigating these aspects and will be looking at this theme cross curricular. Our first art focus has been making sharks – the children have thoroughly enjoyed this.

During term three P3B were exploring ‘The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark’. Throughout the topic the children were able to participate in many group challenges including making an owl. We were also fortunate enough to have a visit from the Country Ranger where we were able to observe stuffed owls and other wildlife. Following on from this topic we spent a couple of weeks on ‘The Solar System’ where the children learned about the planets, Earth and the Sun.

In P1C this term our theme is ‘The Lighthouse Keepers Lunch’. We will be learning about seasons and the weather and how lighthouses can help us in different weathers. We will be learning about the history of lighthouses and the different types of lighthouses that there are. We will be working on ‘push and pull’ forces and exploring these through our play and conducting experiments to help us learn about push and pull. We will be making our own simple electrical circuits to learn about electricity and how it they make the light shine from lighthouses. This term we will be learning about how we can be healthier both in and out of school and will be preparing some healthy food in the kitchen.

This term in Primary 1 our theme is ‘Percy The Park Keeper’. We will be planting  seeds and beans and learning about how to care for them and help them grow. We will be learning about nature and the life cycles including how we can care for pets and animals. We will be learning about Bumble Bees and how we can help to save their habitats. We will be discussing food and learning about where our food comes from. We will also be learning about dangerous substances and how we can stay safe and make good choices. We will also be practising how to cross the road safely and learning about the importance of road safety. A very exciting term in P1c practising for our Bumble Bee Assembly.
