Curriculum Information

This year at Kings Meadow, we are following a newly revised curriculum. Our bespoke, carefully designed Kings Meadow ‘CRACKING’ curriculum is a:

Creative, Real-life, Ambitious, Careers-focussed curriculum building Knowledge & skills for every Individual Nurturing Global citizens of the future 

During this academic year, the children in Year 6 will be taught the following themes.

In Year 6 our class mascot is ‘Shelly Seagull’’.  Shelly helps us to focus on the following characteristics of effective learning.

In Year 6, through our teaching, and the experiences we offer, our children will learn how to become:

LEADERS - I try to influence others, negotiating and balancing different views to reach workable solutions.

COMPASSIONATE- I can use previously acquired knowledge and empathy to understand people and their feelings.

INQUISITIVE - I can look closely at information, judging its importance and value, asking the right questions to verify it.

RESOURCEFUL - I can work towards goals, showing initiative and without giving up.

Current CRACKING Curriculum Theme

Our current theme is ‘More Than A Dream’. It is part of our whole school CULTURE driver.

This unit allows pupils to look in more depth at key discriminatory events in global history. Pupils will analyse the similarities and differences between life under the Jim Crow Laws in the USA and Apartheid in South Africa. They will also learn about the work of Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela, drawing parallels and discussing the changes made to improve rights for black people in the two countries. Finally, pupils will question and research other forms of discrimination including those that are occurring in the present day.

Please download the files below to see our current planning and Knowledge Organiser (WISK Sheet). These documents will provide you with a clear overview of all the subjects and learning that will take place in your child’s current theme.

Our current class novel is ‘The Man Who Walked Between The Towers ’ by Mordicai Gerstein.
