Understanding the World

This part of our curriculum is all about looking and exploring the world around us. Please take time to stop and talk about things you see and the changes around you. Talk about previous trips both in the UK and abroad, what was similar and what was different.

Here are a few programmes and games which are good at exploring different parts of the world and how things work.

Physical Education

Like many things in our curriculum we believe that its best that you just get up and get going. Don’t forget if and when you have time to join in with your children as it makes their learning more memorable.
