Welcome to Eckington C of E

Eckington Curriculum

Topic format:

Ø Super Start - to engage pupils in an exciting way, grab them with a ‘hook’ into learning

Ø Range of Learning Opportunities - focus days, enquiry based approach, children's areas of interest

Ø Use of Quality Texts

Ø Fantastic Finish - to share learning with others, evaluation

Some of the topics we have developed:

Amazing Amazon – trip to Botanical Gardens

Ocean Explorers (Galapagos Islands and Charles Darwin) - visit to Sea life Centre

Fire! Fire! (don’t give anything away, but we always set fire to ‘pudding lane’ on the playing field)

Growth and Green Fingers – trip to Garden Centre, gardening plots in the school grounds

Food Glorious Food (culminating in an enterprise week where children planned, made and sold items at our enterprise fayre) – visiting chef
