Our Knowledge Organisers are designed to support children’s learning both in school and at home. They outline the key knowledge and vocabulary that children will develop throughout each topic and show how their learning connects with what they have learned previously and what they will learn in the future.
They are a useful point of reference for families and provide ideas and guidance for supporting your child’s learning at home. We encourage you to use them alongside the experiences and conversations your child has in school so that we can work together to support their learning and development.
