In order to achieve this by the end of Key Stage One at Mudeford Infant School:

Pupils will develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding of living things and their habitats, plants and seasonal change, animals and materials. They will develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different types of enquiry that help them to answer questions about the world around them. Children are equipped with scientific knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of science, today and for the future.

• Learning garden – focussing on plants and seasonal changes and weather, mini-beasts and their habitats, hibernation of animals
• Both whole class sessions and through relevant project focus in PWR
• Through collaborative learning, enabling children to explore their thoughts and ideas with a partner and/or small group as well as  the whole class
• Recognising British Science Week, STEM ambassadors and educational visits to enhance children’s science capital
• Practical and hands-on investigative experiences to support purposeful project outcomes

Through project-based opportunities children will use simple features to compare objects, materials and living things and will begin to decide how to sort and group them, observe changes over time and begin to notice patterns and relationships. Children will ask people questions and use simple secondary sources to find answers.

They use simple measurements and equipment to gather data, carry out simple tests, record simple data, and talk about what they have found out and how they found it out. Children will record and communicate their findings in a range of age appropriate ways beginning to use simple scientific language.

Through the Learning Garden opportunities children will observe and talk about changes in the weather and the seasons and begin to explore animal habitats. They will also observe how different plants grow and be introduced to the different requirements for growth and survival.  Children will understand that all living things have certain characteristics that are essential for keeping them alive and healthy. Children will learn to identify key materials and explore their properties including their suitability of everyday uses.

Through project learning children will develop a deeper understanding of living things and a range of animal habitats. Using their scientific knowledge children will apply their developing skills to make predictions and draw conclusions.

In the project “Autumn and Harvest” children walk around the local area, observing seasonal change, collecting Autumnal objects and use these across the curriculum as part of the continuous provision.

As part of “Crash Bang Boom” children will begin to develop their skills in working scientifically as part of their science wow day and ongoing activities including growing salt crystals and cress to observe changes. Children will make observations as part of whole class experiments and through discussion with adults will begin to draw conclusions. Through junk modelling and exploratory play the children will begin to explore properties of materials including floating and sinking, and test whether it is waterproof. The children will select appropriate materials for a particular purpose according to their properties.

In “Around the World” children will begin to explore similarities and differences between the natural world around them and those of children in other countries.

In the “Animal Adventures” project children will begin to develop an understanding of habitats through minibeast homes, the school pond environment and the farm. Children will observe changes in the life cycle of tadpoles and butterflies.

Learning Garden:

Children will enjoy monthly visits to the learning garden where they will have the opportunity to observe seasonal changes in their school environment including plants, animals and weather. They will record their observations through drawing of plants and animals, photographs and contributions to whole class discussions.

In the project “Autumn and Harvest” the children will record their observations of seasonal change through observational drawing and poetry.

As part of “Shake, Rattle and Roll” children will build on their knowledge and experiences of materials from Reception through naming and categorising. Children will apply this knowledge through their Design and Technology work in creating their preschool toy. In “The Troll” children will extend and apply their knowledge of properties of materials through testing in order to construct bridges.

In “English Country Garden” the children will identify and name a variety of common garden and wild plants within our local environment. Children will begin to use appropriate scientific vocabulary to describe and label to create their non-fiction book. In continuous provision the children will plant a bean and apply their knowledge of plant structure and use their observations to complete a bean diary. Children will learn about different animal groups and their features to support identifying and classifying as well as applying prior knowledge of omnivores, carnivores and herbivores. Children will identify, name, draw and label the basic parts of the human body and link to the parts of the body associated with each sense.

Learning Garden:

Children will enjoy monthly visits to the learning garden where they will have the opportunity to observe seasonal changes in their school environment including plants, animals and weather including day length. During the course of the year, the children’s individual observations will be recorded in a class learning garden journal, leading to the children recording their own observations. The children will explore opportunities for data gathering and recording to help answer questions as well as using simple equipment to support observations, e.g. hand lens.

In the project “Food Glorious Food” children will develop their understanding of basic needs of animals, including humans, to grow and be healthy including exercise, hygiene and nutrition. They will apply this knowledge to inform healthy choices when writing menus for their restaurant. Children will design and perform simple tests so that they can ask and answer questions about keeping their bodies fit and healthy. This will include gathering and recording data, using observations and recognising that questions can be answered in different ways. Children will learn about how they have changed since birth and consider how these changes will further develop into adulthood. They will further explore how this process relates to other common animals.

In “Pirate Island” children will deepen their understanding about a broader range of living things and their habitats and apply this knowledge when designing their island, including considering the food chain and the habitat needs of each animal. Children will develop identification and classification skills when comparing things which are alive, never alive and/or dead.

In “Budding Botanists” children will make predictions and perform simple tests to develop their understanding of the conditions needed for bulbs and seeds to grow into healthy, mature plants in order to compete in a sunflower growing competition.

Learning Garden:

Children will enjoy monthly visits to the learning garden where they will develop their skills in working scientifically through using observations to gather and record data and help answer questions. This includes looking at plant and minibeast diversity using a plot study. During the course of the year, the children will complete their own learning garden journal to record their own pictorial and written observations. Children will have practical opportunities in the learning garden to explore their understanding of things which are living, dead or never been alive as well as animal and plant habitats and food chains.

In order to achieve this by the end of Key Stage One at Mudeford Infant School:

They will experiences and experiment with shape and form using resources including play dough, clay, junk modelling, construction e.g. poddley, lego, wooden blocks, weaving.   Children will name and explore colours in a variety of contexts and will begin to develop an understanding of colour mixing (primary and secondary colours). During the Animal Adventure project children will be introduced to the work of Matisse and will create their own interpretations of ‘The Snail’ as well as exploring and recreating animal patterns. Through colour mixing opportunities in the Around the World project, children will be introduced to the work of Mondrian and use their knowledge of colour mixing to create their own piece in the style of Modrian. During the Autumn and Harvest project children will explore the work of Andy Goldsworthy in the outside environment and will create their own sculptures.

Through a variety of creative and practical activities, pupils should be taught the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to engage in an iterative process of designing and making. They should work in a range of relevant contexts [for example, the home and school, gardens and playgrounds, the local community, industry and the wider environment].

As part of their work with food, pupils should be taught how to cook and apply the principles of nutrition and healthy eating. Instilling a love of cooking in pupils will also open a door to one of the great expressions of human creativity. Learning how to cook is a crucial life skill that enables pupils to feed themselves and others affordably and well, now and in later life.

By the end of each key stage, pupils are expected to know, apply and understand the matters, skills and processes specified in the relevant programme of study.

In order to achieve this by the end of Key Stage One at Mudeford Infant School:

Pupils will:

• know and understand the history of these islands as a coherent, chronological narrative, from the earliest times to the present day: how people’s lives have shaped this nation and how Britain has influenced and been influenced by the wider world
• know and understand significant aspects of the history of the wider world: the nature of ancient civilisations; the expansion and dissolution of empires; characteristic features of past non-European societies; achievements and follies of mankind
• gain and deploy a historically grounded understanding of abstract terms such as ‘empire’, ‘civilisation’, ‘parliament’ and ‘peasantry’
• understand historical concepts such as continuity and change, cause and consequence, similarity, difference and significance, and use them to make connections, draw contrasts, analyse trends, frame historically-valid questions and create their own structured accounts, including written narratives and analyses
• understand the methods of historical enquiry, including how evidence is used rigorously to make historical claims, and discern how and why contrasting arguments and interpretations of the past have been constructed
• gain historical perspective by placing their growing knowledge into different contexts, understanding the connections between local, regional, national and international history; between cultural, economic, military, political, religious and social history; and between short- and long-term timescales.

In order to achieve this by the end of Key Stage One the National Curriculum says:

Pupils should develop an awareness of the past, using common words and phrases relating to the passing of time. They should know where the people and events they study fit within a chronological framework and identify similarities and differences between ways of life in different periods. They should use a wide vocabulary of everyday historical terms. They should ask and answer questions, choosing and using parts of stories and other sources to show that they know and understand key features of events. They should understand some of the ways in which we find out about the past and identify different ways in which it is represented.

In planning to ensure the progression described above through teaching about the people, events and changes outlined below, teachers are often introducing pupils to historical periods that they will study more fully at key stages 2 and 3.

• Re-creating models and exploring artefacts from past times
• Introducing children to different composers and genre from different time periods in music teaching
• Watch performances and interact with key historical events through drama.
• Interactive classroom displays to build on children’s experiences and interests
• Use You Tube to create awe and wonder about historical events
• Visit to explore things of local historical importance around Christchurch (Y2)

• changes within living memory. Where appropriate, these should be used to reveal aspects of change in national life
• events beyond living memory that are significant nationally or globally [for example, the Great Fire of London, the first aeroplane flight or events commemorated through festivals or anniversaries]
• the lives of significant individuals in the past who have contributed to national and international achievements. Some should be used to compare aspects of life in different periods [for example, Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria, Christopher Columbus and Neil Armstrong, William Caxton and Tim Berners-Lee, Pieter Bruegel the Elder and LS Lowry, Rosa Parks and Emily Davison, Mary Seacole and/or Florence Nightingale and Edith Cavell]
• significant historical events, people and places in their own locality.

• Use key artefacts and sources as stimulus to problem solve, reason and evaluate about the relevance of historical events
• Use language linked to the passing of time confidently and accurately
• Be able to use their knowledge of historical events to be able to reflect on the impact they have had on modern life

• Have an understanding of some key historical figures and events that have had an impact locally, nationally and internationally.
• Have a developing understanding of historical concepts such as continuity and change, cause and consequence, similarity, difference and significance, and use them to make connections, draw contrasts and create their own structured accounts, including written narratives
• Have a basic understanding of fact and opinion when reviewing historical sources
• Have a historical perspective on change within their own life time and beyond

In order to achieve this by the end of Key Stage One at Mudeford Infant School:

Pupils will perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across historical periods, genres, styles and traditions, including the works of the great composers and musicians.  They will learn to sing and to use their voices, begin to create and compose music on their own and with others.  Children will understand and explore how music is created, including through the inter-related dimensions: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and appropriate musical notations.

• A vibrant musical curriculum, providing progression in the learning of musical skills, understanding and knowledge, linked to our creative curriculum where appropriate and supplemented by the online music education resource ‘Charanga’
• Weekly whole school singing assemblies where we sing songs we love!
• Half termly focus for the assembly entrance and exit music where we listen to a wide variety of music from different genres.
• Annual performance for every Year group at Christmas
• End of school performance for all Year 2 children each summer

• recognise and name a variety of classroom and other instruments
• explain the differences between different groups of musicians eg. pop band, orchestra using appropriate vocabulary
• explain how different sounds are made on different kinds of instruments

Relationships Education Statutory Guidance states (by the end of Primary School education):

• The focus in primary school should be on teaching the fundamental building blocks and characteristics of positive relationships, with particular reference to friendships, family relationships, and relationships with other children and with adults.
• This starts with pupils being taught about what a relationship is, what friendship is, what family means and who the people are who can support them. From the beginning of primary school, building on early education, pupils should be taught how to take turns, how to treat each other with kindness, consideration and respect, the importance of honesty and truthfulness, permission seeking and giving, and the concept of personal privacy. Establishing personal space and boundaries, showing respect and understanding the differences between appropriate and inappropriate or unsafe physical, and other, contact – these are the forerunners of teaching about consent, which takes place at secondary.
• Respect for others should be taught in an age-appropriate way, in terms of understanding one’s own and others’ boundaries in play, in negotiations about space, toys, books, resources and so on.
• From the beginning, teachers should talk explicitly about the features of healthy friendships, family relationships and other relationships which young children are likely to encounter. Drawing attention to these in a range of contexts should enable pupils to form a strong early understanding of the features of relationships that are likely to lead to happiness and security. This will also help them to recognise any less positive relationships when they encounter them.
• The principles of positive relationships also apply online especially as, by the end of primary school, many children will already be using the internet. When teaching relationships content, teachers should address online safety and appropriate behaviour in a way that is relevant to pupils’ lives. Teachers should include content on how information and data is shared and used in all contexts, including online; for example, sharing pictures, understanding that many websites are businesses and how sites may use information provided by users in ways they might not expect.
• Teaching about families requires sensitive and well-judged teaching based on knowledge of pupils and their circumstances. Families of many forms provide a nurturing environment for children. (Families can include for example, single parent families, LGBT parents, families headed by grandparents, adoptive parents, foster parents/carers amongst other structures.) Care needs to be taken to ensure that there is no stigmatisation of children based on their home circumstances and needs, to reflect sensitively that some children may have a different structure of support around them; e.g. looked after children or young carers.
• A growing ability to form strong and positive relationships with others depends on the deliberate cultivation of character traits and positive personal attributes, (sometimes referred to as ‘virtues’) in the individual. In a school wide context which encourages the development and practice of resilience and other attributes, this includes character traits such as helping pupils to believe they can achieve, persevere with tasks, work towards long-term rewards and continue despite setbacks. Alongside understanding the importance of self-respect and self-worth, pupils should develop personal attributes including honesty, integrity, courage, humility, kindness, generosity, trustworthiness and a sense of justice. This can be achieved in a variety of ways including by providing planned opportunities for young people to undertake social action, active citizenship and voluntary service to others locally or more widely.
• Relationships Education also creates an opportunity to enable pupils to be taught about positive emotional and mental wellbeing, including how friendships can support mental wellbeing.
• Through Relationships Education (and RSE), schools should teach pupils the knowledge they need to recognise and to report abuse, including emotional, physical and sexual abuse. In primary schools, this can be delivered by focusing on boundaries and privacy, ensuring young people understand that they have rights over their own bodies. This should also include understanding boundaries in friendships with peers and also in families and with others, in all contexts, including online. Pupils should know how to report concerns and seek advice when they suspect or know that something is wrong. At all stages it will be important to balance teaching children about making sensible decisions to stay safe (including online) whilst being clear it is never the fault of a child who is abused and why victim blaming is always wrong. These subjects complement Health Education and as part of a comprehensive programme and whole school approach, this knowledge can support safeguarding of children.

Physical Health and Mental Well-Being Education Statutory Guidance states (by the end of Primary School education):

• The focus in primary school should be on teaching the characteristics of good physical health and mental wellbeing. Teachers should be clear that mental wellbeing is a normal part of daily life, in the same way as physical health.
• This starts with pupils being taught about the benefits and importance of daily exercise, good nutrition and sufficient sleep, and giving pupils the language and knowledge to understand the normal range of emotions that everyone experiences. This should enable pupils to articulate how they are feeling, develop the language to talk about their bodies, health and emotions and judge whether what they are feeling and how they are behaving is appropriate and proportionate for the situations that they experience.
• Teachers should go on to talk about the steps pupils can take to protect and support their own and others’ health and wellbeing, including simple self-care techniques, personal hygiene, prevention of health and wellbeing problems and basic first aid.
• Emphasis should be given to the positive two-way relationship between good physical health and good mental wellbeing, and the benefits to mental wellbeing of physical exercise and time spent outdoors.
• Pupils should also be taught the benefits of hobbies, interests and participation in their own communities. This teaching should make clear that people are social beings and that spending time with others, taking opportunities to consider the needs of others and practising service to others, including in organised and structured activities and groups (for example the scouts or girl guide movements), are beneficial for health and wellbeing.
• Pupils should be taught about the benefits of rationing time spent online and the risks of excessive use of electronic devices. In later primary school, pupils should be taught why social media, computer games and online gaming have age restrictions and should be equipped to manage common difficulties encountered online.
• A firm foundation in the benefits and characteristics of good health and wellbeing will enable teachers to talk about isolation, loneliness, unhappiness, bullying and the negative impact of poor health and wellbeing.

• How do we bring this to life?

• The aims of the school outline children will experience an ethos, curriculum, relationships and environments that enable them to become happy and confident learners who have an age appropriate understanding of the British Values that underpin effective relationships and interactions as they continue through life.
• The whole school ‘Golden Rules’ are based on the British Values of respect, honesty, fairness, kindness and lawfulness.  These underpin the schools behaviour management systems and staff are clear in their explanations to make links to expectations.
• We use SCARF as our scheme of work for the discrete teaching sessions of PSHE which ensures progression in knowledge, attitudes and values, and skills – including the key skills of social and emotional learning, known to improve outcomes for children.  The scheme is based upon the non-statutory PSHE Associations Programmes of Study for Key Stage 1 (https://www.pshe-association.org.uk/curriculum-and-resources/resources/programme-study-pshe-education-key-stages-1%E2%80%935), the statutory Physical Health and Mental Well-being Guidance (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/relationships-education-relationships-and-sex-education-rse-and-health-education/physical-health-and-mental-wellbeing-primary-and-secondary) and the statutory Relationships Education and Health Education Guidance (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/relationships-education-relationships-and-sex-education-rse-and-health-education).
• The ‘Learning to Learn’ characteristics that are embedded in whole school provision enable children to understand the key attributes of being resilient, being respectful, being resourceful, being reflective and demonstrate reasoning skills.  The way children demonstrate these skills across the school is progressive.
• Whole school and class assemblies are mapped to support the class based teaching of PSHE (through SCARF), the whole school Learning to Learn Characteristic, The Golden Rules and key relevant events e.g. anti-bullying week, Remembrance Day, etc.
