Curriculum Information

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 Ainsdale On Sea. This is a multi-disciplinary study of the local area. The geographical aspect includes a disciplinary focus on processes and changes, linking with a historical disciplinary focus on continuity and change, helping us understand how the events of history shape a locality. We will also further develop our mapping skills as part of this project. 

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.
