Cross Curricular Planning
We plan and tailor our curriculum to make the most out of pertinent cross curricular links. For example, when year 4 study the Romans in History, they study Italy in Geography and Mosaics in Art.
Please see our individual curriculum pages for more information.
Maths Across the Curriculum
Mathematics is a server subject and teaches children fundamental skills that allow them to access many other areas of the curriculum. Below are some examples of the links between Maths and other subject areas. These also demonstrate how making links between Maths and different subject areas can deepen mathematical knowledge, understanding and skill to develop true mastery.
Science and Maths
Maths and science are tightly linked together. Almost every scientific investigation is likely to require one or more of the mathematical skills of classifying, counting, measuring, calculating, estimating, and recording in tables or graphs. Statistics are used extensively in Science. Most charts and graphs used in science are initially taught in maths lessons.

Year 3 had a great workshop this afternoon on how to save energy and how to be NRGenius’s. They had to create a powerful image representing why we use fossil fuels. We learnt all about renewable energy and how these are better for our environment. We ended the session by making a pledge to try our best to save energy. 💡⚡️
Today we have loved our class campfire. We enjoyed toasting the marshmallows, creating a s’more and having some hot chocolate. We even had a blast from the past with some children’s songs and rhymes. 
We’re now in the Islam section of our RE unit and we are learning all about the sense of community and how the mosque plays an important part in bringing the community together. We took the opportunity to utilise our artistic skills too.

After learning about Remembrance Day and importance of the symbol of the poppy, we had time to sketch our own poppies using pencil and oil crayons.
In Science, Year 6 have been learning about Charles Darwin as part of their ‘Evolution and Inheritance’ unit. Look at this incredible writing they have produced!
Year 4 had such a great morning at our Diwali workshop. We wore some traditional Hindu clothing, learned some traditional dance, and even got to paint and create our own diya lanterns.
We are having so much fun making our Diwali lanterns with rangoli patterns.
Today we are designing our Diwali lanterns for next week. We have learnt the story of Rama and Sita and thought about why Diwali is celebrated in Hindu religion. We are trying to focus on using Rangoli patterns.
We are simply blown away by the writing we have recently produced. Our Year 6 classes are so invested in world issues – saving habitats and animals in particular. Have a read of some of the letters we wrote to the Rwandan Government, asking them to help protect the magnificent mountain gorillas 🦍
In Geography, we have been finding out about renewable energy sources: why they are needed alongwith the advantages and disadvantages of each.
We simply had to share a few more pieces of work as we think they are truly fantastic! Detailed information which is extremely well presented. Great work Year 6!
In Year 6 today, we combined our learning from Geography and English by using our computer skills to present the information we have discovered into Google Sites to create our own web pages.
Year 3 had another great ‘Hands’ practice. We are really enjoying learning new sign language.

Here is a FABULOUS finished skyline picture to accompany our Geography work on our ‘Walking Tours Around Liverpool.’ Amazing work from this young artist.
Super work creating our Bronze Age Bell Beaker pots. We created a similar shape and added patterns to them.

We’ve had a great afternoon making circuits with a light and a buzzer to help us when making our buzz wire game. We also got to have a go at a buzz wire game!
This afternoon we created Supertato’s house using icing sugar and gingerbread. We mixed the icing sugar and water to use as glue to stick the house together.
