THEMATIC LEARNING
Having a theme gives us time to explore a topic in many ways and incorporate all of the different subjects in an integrated, engaging and exciting way for the children. It allows us as teachers to help the children make connections and put the learning into a relevant context, maximising the enjoyment of learning. Thematic learning promotes curious learners who ask questions and lead their learning. Starting with an engaging entry point, learning expands like ripples from a stone thrown in the water.
From ‘Healthy Me’ in our Early Years classes to ‘Wet & Wild’ in Year 5, our students have been exploring their Summer Term topics.
