Our Curriculum
Please have a look through our curriculum map (below). This outlines our core topics for the year.
We will keep you updated with your child's learning throughout the year via. Earwig, Class DOJO and parents meetings.
We learn through a creative curriculum and we have lots of exciting, purposeful activities that allow us to develop and grow through memorable, fun activities.
Our Learning Challenge topic for Autumn 1 is: What was it like to live in Victorian Britain?
Years 5 and 6 Mini Police
What a fantastic start for the Years 5 and 6 Distington Mini police! The children are ready to be introduced to a positive experience of policing and become involved in their local community. We have an exciting year ahead!
Making Victoria Sponge cake!
As part of our Victorian topic, the children chose a popular Victorian recipe and worked as part of a team to make their own Victoria sponge. This cake was a favourite of Queen Victoria and became a symbol of the refined afternoon tea tradition.
MacMillan coffee morning.
Well done to our Year 5 and 6 Mini Police for organising our Macmillan coffee morning. Thank you to everyone who came and supported us or sent in cake donations, we managed to raise £191.37 for Macmillan cancer support. A big thank you to PCSO Sam Watson for joining us this morning and her ongoing support with our Mini Police.
Victorian Workshop
What a fantastic time we had at Keswick Museum. The children took part in a Victorian workshop and looked at interesting artefacts. They also took part in a Victorian style lesson and dressed up in Victorian clothing!
