Welcome back to Term 2! We have a busy term ahead of us, with many wonderful learning experiences planned. We will commence the new year with our topic, “Brrr… It’s Cold!” This will focus on the season of winter and take the children on a journey beyond their own world to the cold lands of Antarctica and the Arctic, where they will encounter animals native to those regions. Get the passports ready, as the children will set up a travel agency in the role-play area, selling holidays to Iceland and the Scandinavian countries. We will then progress to the topic “Spring on the Farm,” and I cannot wait to hear about the children’s own experiences from our local area.

January will see us begin our Shared Education programme with our partner school, Donemana Primary School. We will embark on a six-week programme, with each session lasting approximately three hours, where we will participate in Debutots sessions, Relax Kids, and fundamental movement and shared play-based learning experiences.

In February, I look forward to welcoming Miss Doherty, a third-year student teacher from St. Mary’s University Belfast, who will work under my guidance and support.

PE days will remain on Tuesday and Thursday and Miss Una will continue to visit us on a Friday morning to deliver the Musical Pathways Programme. 

Information regarding reading and keywords will be issued via our messaging system.

Thank you for your continued support.

Miss Devine
