Knowledge Organisers.
We have developed Knowledge Organisers for each unit of work in Art & Design, Design Technology, PE, PSHE/RSE, Geography, History and Science. These provide a summary of the key facts and essential knowledge that pupils need to know and remember.
Knowledge Organisers are designed to fit onto one side of A4 and are stuck into pupils’ books at the beginning of each unit. They provide a useful reference point throughout the unit and support pupils in developing and retaining their knowledge.
The aims of our Knowledge Organisers:
- To show the substantive and disciplinary knowledge needed within each learning journey
“Disciplinary – What makes a…. Geographer?” - To identify the key vocabulary needed to be successful in that unit
- To make links between prior learning and future learning
- To capture the knowledge which needs to be covered to answer a ‘Big Question’
Our Knowledge Organisers are chunked into clear sections, and are consistent in their design to support the retrieval of prior knowledge. Visual prompts support learning, and sections include:
- Previous Learning (Vocabulary & Knowledge)
- New Key Vocabulary
- Substantive and Disciplinary Knowledge
