Science Day

We had great fun learning about India. The project was initiated by our school council who said children wanted to learn about another country and culture in a bit more depth. It was supported by our parent teacher association (FoLS) who funded dancing and drumming workshops to help us celebrate the festival of Pongal (rice harvest).

We love science! We had a science day where we learned about heat, sound and slime (which we now know is actually a polymer).

Our Curriculum
The Langham Curriculum has been designed to engage children’s curiosity and promote resilience and independence in learning. We do this every day in every lesson by ensuring children are expected to explore, question and apply key concepts in interesting ways. Children gain the essential skills and knowledge they need through activities and experiences that are fun, memorable and exciting. This means that sometimes children work on projects which encompass a number of national curriculum subjects and sometimes work on blocks of specific subject content. We plan for our delivery of the curriculum in a two year rolling programme which helps to ensure an effective balance between subjects and depth in essential skills. We want our curriculum to be as vibrant as possible so we make sure that we plan for visits and visitors to enrich and extend children’s experience; provide opportunities for children to showcase their achievements and look for ways we can root their learning in the real world. The documents below provide you with an overview of our curriculum in each academic subject for the whole school. They also indicate where we use published resources to support our curriculum.
Please contact the school if you would like any additional information about our curriculum. office@langham.essex.sch.uk
