Curriculum Umbrellas and Historical Maps

A key finding in recent curriculum research has been the lack of understanding some  primary children have about individual subjects, e.g.  history or geography; perceiving them all as “topic”. We are addressing this through our knowledge organisers (the first of which have been updated to children's class pages this February - 2019) but are also trying to encourage the children to  see an overarching theme in their learning , an “Umbrella” , under which different subjects , possibly as a project, are taught. Other stand alone subjects sit at the bottom of the page.

Class Umbrellas for Spring 2019 are below.

Further down the page are the maps and themes for each class for previous terms in their old format.
