Foundation Curriculum at Pelsall Village
FOUNDATION CURRICULUM OVERVIEW 2023/24
From September 2023 the children in school will be taught Geography, History, Art and Design and D.T through stand alone lessons. This is a change from our Creative Curriculum approach where a topic or theme is matched to the relevant subject content. This will ensure direct and full coverage of the National Curriculum Aims, Objectives and Statements.
Each half term, all the children from Y1 – 6 will be learning about the same aspect of each subject – year on year building their Knowledge, Skills and Understanding as a result.
Below is the format for the year:
| AUT 1 | AUT 2 | SPR1 | SPR2 | SUM1 | SUM2 |
GEOGRAPHY | TOUR UK | WIDER WORLD | GEOGRAPHY FOR LIFE | WATERWAYS | CLIMATE | MY LOCALITY |
