HUMANITIES, ARTS AND SCIENCE CURRICULUM 2019-20
OUR INTENT:• TO CLEARLY AND PROGRESSIVELY COVER THE CONTENT OF THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM
• FOR SUBJECTS AND SKILLS TO BUILD ON EACH OTHER THROUGH UNDERLYING THEMES AND CLEARLY MAPPED PROGRESSION
• FOR CHILDREN TO GAIN A DEEP KNOWLEDGE AND REMEMBER KEY FACTS AND FIGURES IN THEIR LONG TERM MEMORY
• TO USE METACOGNITIVE STRATEGIES SUCH AS ACTIVE RECALL AND ACCESSING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE TO ENSURE LEARNING STICKS
• TO MAKE SURE SUBJECTS ARE LINKED TO AND IMMERSED IN OUR LOCAL SURROUNDINGS AND HISTORY SO THAT CHILDREN CAN RELATE TO THEIR
LEARNING AND BECOME PROUD OF THEIR HERITAGE
• FOR LEARNING TO BE ENQUIRY BASED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE CHILDREN AND TO DEVELOP INQUISITIVE MINDS
• TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUPILS TO DEVELOP CONFIDENCE IN PRESENTING AND COMMUNICATING THEIR IDEAS TO AN AUDIENCE
• TO INSPIRE CREATIVITY IN BOTH TEACHERS AND PUPILS, MAKING QUALITY LINKS BETWEEN OUR SUBJECTS TO ENABLE CHILDREN APPLY SKILLS ACROSS
ALL THEIR LEARNING
• FOR CHILDREN TO KNOW WHERE THEIR LEARNING FITS INTO THE BIGGER PICTURE AND THAT IT HAS PURPOSE
• TO ENSURE CHILDREN ARE CULTURALLY AWARE AND ACCEPTING OF PEOPLE FROM ALL BACKGROUNDS, RELIGIONS AND PREFERENCES BY WIDENING
THEIR EXPOSURE TO THE WORLD OUTSIDE OF OUR RURAL VILLAGE.
• TO MAKE SURE THE CURRICULUM IS ENRICHED WITH A WIDE RANGE OF CULTURAL AND HIGH QUALITY EXPERIENCES CAREFULLY MAPPED OUT ACROSS
SCHOOL IN ORDER TO OFFER THE CHILDREN THE BEST POSSIBLE FUTURE LIFE CHANCES AND HIGH ASPIRATIONS REGARDLESS OF THEIR BACKGROUND OR
NEEDS.
• TO HAVE OUR SCHOOL VALUES AT THE HEART OF THE CURRICULUM

I ask relevant questions and
recognise
which type of enquiry will be the best
to answer a question.
I decide what observations and
measurements to make (controlling
variables where necessary) and what
scientific equipment to use
to make my measurements.
I select and use a range of
scientific equipment
independently
and accurately,
and use relevant
information
sources to find things out.
I take repeat readings when
appropriate.
I decide how to record
results
of increasing complexity
(data and observations)
using e.g. tables, and
scientific diagrams with
labels.
I present the results
(data and observations)
in suitable formats e.g.
line graphs,
bar graphs, scatter
graphs and keys.
From my data and observations I
draw valid conclusions. Including
causal relationships.
I use scientific evidence to
support or refute the ideas or
argument for my conclusion.
I can look at the
results and decide if
any observations or
measurements are not
to be trusted and need
to be carried out
again.
I use what I have found out
to make suggestions for
further enquiries e.g.
comparative and fair tests.

Place current study on a timeline
with other studies
Use relevant dates and terms.
Order up to 10 events on a timeline
including concurrent events
Find out about beliefs, behaviour
and characteristics of people,
recognising that not everyone
shares the same views and feelings
. Compare beliefs and behaviour
with another time studied.
Understand continuity and change. Write another explanation of a past event
in terms of cause and effect using
evidence to support and illustrate their
explanation. Know key dates,
characters and events of time
studied
Link sources and work out how conclusions were arrived
at. Show awareness that different evidence will lead to
different conclusions. Confidently use the library and
internet for research,
Recognise primary and secondary sources. Use a range of
sources to find out about an aspect of time past. Suggest
omissions and the means of finding out. Bring knowledge
gathered from several sources together to form contrasting
arguments.
Select and organise information to produce
structured work, making appropriate use of dates and
terms.

ILLS Ask and respond to questions that are more causal e.g. What happened in
the past to cause that? How is it likely to change in the future?
Make predictions and test simple hypotheses about people, places and
geographical issues.
Use a range of numerical and quantitative skills to
analyse, interpret and present data collected from
fieldwork observations, measurements and recordings-
local land use survey Staindrop v Barnard Castle
Interpret a wider range of geographical information and
maps including scale, projections, thematic and digital
maps.
Recognise an increasing number of Ordnance survey
symbols on maps and use 6 figure grid refences.
Develop their understanding of differing views and
attitudes to critically evaluate local geographical
issues and events.
Communicate geographical information using a wide
range of methods including writing at length.
