Curriculum 

2026-2027 

Autumn 1

Science - The Journey of Blood 

During this project, children learn about the role of the circulatory system and its main parts, carrying out research to answer their own questions. They look closely at the heart's structure, functions and features; explore blood by preparing a representation of a separated sample; learn how each blood vessel works; and discover how diet, exercise and drugs affect the body.

Geograhy - Mapping The Earth 

Children will revise Earth’s features and lines of latitude and longitude, then learn about map scales, grid references, contour lines and map symbols. They will then study human settlement patterns and carry out an enquiry into local settlements.

Art and Design - Winged Wonders

During this project children learn why insects are a rich source of inspiration for artists. They develop observational drawing skills and explore how materials, colour and techniques can be combined to create insect inspired artwork. Children experiment with mixed media and Pop Art approaches before bringing their learning together to create, refine and explain a final piece of insect art.
