This term Primary 2 will be finding out about our senses and healthy eating. This will include experiments involving the 5 senses and emphasising the importance of diet on our health and well being.

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.

Busy children in P1A

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 have been learning about the weather and natural disasters this term. We carried out various scientific experiments linked to the water cycle. The children investigated the freezing and melting properties of water. We researched a number of natural disasters, including volcanoes and earthquakes.
