Knowledge organisers
Please see a more detailed overview of the learning in some areas of the wider curriculum. These knowledge organisers are shared with the children and provide parents with an opportunity to go through some of the key learning at home. In particular, we would ask that you support the children with their understanding of the key vocabulary for each curriculum area, as outlined in the knowledge organisers.

School Values
Our school values are respect, resilience and responsibility .
Our British Values Focus this Term
In our assemblies this term our British Values will link to our school values of respect, resilience and responsibility. We will be looking primarily at Rule of Law and Tolerance and Mutual Respect for others.
In class we will focus on the British Values of mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith and individual liberty through our history when learning about the World War II and the changing role of women in history and diversity in Britain in RE where we will discuss how Britain has become religiously diverse..
Diversity
One of the seven outcomes we would like from our curriculum is for the children to develop their understanding of what is means to live in a diverse society such as Britain.
To support that this term, we will discussing how people have the right to make their own choices and follow their belief without facing prejudice from others with differing views or beliefs.
