Curriculum
5th April 2020
As well as promoting creativity, our resources and activities have been designed to support you in meeting curriculum requirements in the key subjects of Maths, Science and Literacy – as well as in History.
We have developed them in close accordance with both the National Curriculum (England and Wales) and the Curriculum for Excellence (Scotland). They also align with the Northern Ireland Curriculum – and can be adapted to meet the needs of any other English-speaking country.
There is a range of ways you can find what you’re looking for:
- Browsing through an overall “subject” (eg “maths”, “science”, “literacy”) …
- Searching for the “topic” that you’re planning to explore (eg “fractions”, “light”, “writing to persuade”) …
- Exploring cross-curricular approaches by either using our library of Extraordinary Worlds or tying in with Events and Key Dates …
- Using our Assemblies to put a whole-school focus on particular curriculum areas.
Activities
We’ve got a wealth of resources for you, and for all primary school ages, covering Maths, Literacy, Science and History. Whether you’re looking for a quick, fifteen minute activity to be completed individually, a two hour challenge for small teams or a thirty minute task to be worked through as a whole class, there’s lots here for you to choose from! And don’t forget – we cover Assemblies, Outdoor Learning and Events and Key Dates too!
Key Stages
We know how valuable your time is, so we’ve made it easy for you to find what you need for any year group – from Reception/P1 right through to Year 6/P7.
