As you are aware, we have been in the process of focusing on the content of our whole curriculum to ensure that there is a much greater emphasis on the ‘powerful knowledge’ that children need in order to truly understand concepts and also to enable them to apply that knowledge. We have continued to look at each subject and are currently identifying the essential knowledge that we feel is the children’s minimum entitlement - and then deciding how best to teach it. In light of this new approach, we have produced 'Knowledge Organisers' which are the ‘go-to’ documents outlining the essential knowledge that the teachers will be covering across a unit of work; including dates, key personnel, vocabulary, definitions, and other information. Knowledge organisers will be made available at the start of each unit to help children remember what they are learning and to help them see the bigger learning journey of their subjects. Instead of forgetting previous learning, children will continually revisit and retrieve prior learning from their memories. Feedback from parents, staff and children has been particularly positive and the knowledge organisers have been securing our pupils’ learning. Attached you will find the knowledge organisers for all foundation subjects (History/Geography, Science, R.E etc) for this first Spring Term. Please refer to these with your child; they will assist in homework tasks and improving your child’s knowledge around concepts being taught i n school. Website pages have been updated to support home learning so please do browse these with your children. I would appreciate your support with this initiative.

Dear Parents and Carers,
RE: Knowledge Organisers
Welcome back to Spring Term! As you are aware, we have been in the process of focusing on the content of our whole curriculum to ensure that there is a
much greater emphasis on the ‘powerful knowledge’ that children need in order to truly understand concepts and also to enable them to apply that knowledge.
We have continued to look at each subject and are currently identifying the essential knowledge that we feel is the children’s minimum entitlement - and then
deciding how best to teach it.
In light of this new approach, we have produced 'Knowledge Organisers' which are the ‘go-to’ documents outlining the essential knowledge that the teachers
will be covering across a unit of work; including dates, key personnel, vocabulary, definitions, and other information. Knowledge organisers will be made
available at the start of each unit to help children remember what they are learning and to help them see the bigger learning journey of their subjects. Instead
of forgetting previous learning, children will continually revisit and retrieve prior learning from their memories. Feedback from parents, staff and children has
been particularly positive and the knowledge organisers have been securing our pupils’ learning.
Attached you will find the knowledge organisers for all foundation subjects (History/Geography, Science, R.E etc) for this first Spring Term. Please refer to
these with your child; they will assist in homework tasks and improving your child’s knowledge around concepts being taught in school. Website pages have
been updated to support home learning so please do browse these with your children.
I would appreciate your support with this initiative.
