Autumn Curriculum

Primary Bias - History - Chronology, Interpretation and Enquiry - Extended Unit

Autumn 2025

During the Autumn term, we take a journey through time to explore the chronology of an important part of our society. By doing this, we can understand and appreciate the contribution the people who have lived before us have made to our development. We have chosen several 'pit-stops' along our journeys to delve a little deeper into set time periods to build our understanding of chronology and consider wider factors.

Autumn Unit 2 - Create and Celebrate

December is an exciting time in a primary school and we want to embrace all it brings. A shorter unit is introduced after our Advent Day (always as near to the 1st December as possible) and embraces Religious Education, Art and Music. We take time to discover, explore and use different artistic techniques before applying this to create something seasonal.

We use our DT and enterprise skills to create products to sell at our Christmas market. The term always finishes with our Reflection Day - a day of calm and preparation amidst the busy-ness of the season.
