Primary News for August
PRIMARY NEWS
We are working on the roll out of a number of new facilities and new resources over the summer. Our Schools Education team now includes two Educational Development Officers and we have been working hard on the preparation of new Pathfinders and specific teaching resources for a wide range of primary subjects, including new resources for Citizenship, Science and English Language.
HAVE YOU LOOKED AT ...?
The Schools’ Topic Bank
Another way to find learning and teaching resources on Scran, the Schools’ Topic Bank has more than 40 popular topics ready to click on from a pull-down menu. This will lead you to all the pathfinders, resource packs and teaching packs that we have on these topics. The topics are wide ranging, covering everything from religion and history to art and drama.
You can find the Schools’ Topic Bank by clicking on “Education” on the toolbar. If you have any suggestions for topics which you would like to see covered here, please contact our School Education Officer, Lesley Stokes.
