Central ideas of the curriculum:

Who we are
Increasing awareness of our personal characteristics and abilities, and those of others, allows our self-identity to develop.

Where we are in place and time
Journeys create change and can lead to new opportunities.
Documenting personal histories allows us to reflect on and celebrate who we are and where we’ve come from.

How we express ourselves
Stories inform and provoke us, and give us pleasure.

How the world works
Our activity is usually connected to the Earth’s natural cycles.
Understanding the way materials behave and interact determines how people use them.

How we organise ourselves
Communities function more effectively when rules and routines are shared with all members.

Sharing the planet
Living things have certain requirements in order to grow and stay healthy.
