Broader Curriculum
At Sheepy, we want our pupils to have the skills and knowledge needed to go on to be future historians, geographers, artists, or designers for example. We aim to make learning enjoyable as well as relevant to the ages of the children. As we have mixed age classes, we have a two-year rolling plan in place. These have been written in line with the 2014 National Curriculum and we have ensured that we cover all objectives.
Within our topics we try and make an ‘entry’ into each one that grasps the children’s attention and makes them want to know more and then we work towards an ‘exit’ point so that they know where their learning is taking them. These are different for each topic and may include a visit or a visitor, some sort of stimuli or whole day activity.
Each topic has a big question for the pupils to explore during the course of the topic. In addition, the teacher identifies 3 core pieces of learning that the pupils will be able to take away. Most topics last for half a term.
We use Plan Bee: lessons are objective led and units of work build skills and knowledge.
