Science
We offer our pupils the opportunity to:
– plan and carry out scientific investigations, using equipment, including computers.
– correctly know and understand the life processes of living things.
– know and understand the physical processes of materials, electricity, light, sound and natural forces.
– know about the nature of the solar system, including the earth.
– be able to evaluate evidence and present their conclusions clearly and accurately.
History
In History, pupils learn about significant people, events and places from both the recent and more distant past. They learn about change and continuity in Britain and in other parts of the world.
They look at history in a variety of ways, for example from political, economic, technological and scientific, social, religious, cultural or aesthetic perspectives. They use different sources of information to help them investigate the past.
Music
Children have the opportunity to perform, listen to and evaluate music from across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions. They learn about the dimensions, production and communication of music in terms of pitch, rhythm, duration dynamics and tempo and learn to read traditional pitched notation. All children will learn to use their singing voice, with control and expression and have the opportunity to sign in ensembles and choirs.
Music Development Plan
Art
At Linchfield we want children to develop and explore their creativity and imagination through Art and DT. Throughout their time at school, they are exposed to various visual and tactile elements, materials and process, and are encouraged to communicate what they see, feel and think. We believe that it is important that the children’s voice is encouraged so they can say with confidence how they feel about different pieces of Art and design; artist’s and sculptor’s work.
Spanish
All Linchfield pupils learn Spanish in Key Stage 2. This enables our pupils to develop communication and literacy skills that lay the foundation for future language learning. As well as developing their linguistic competence, learning another language raises awareness of the multilingual and multicultural world we live in, and encourages tolerance and understanding of others. Teachers use the Language Angels Scheme of work to support their teaching of Spanish.
Geography
In Geography, pupils investigate a variety of people, places and environments during their time at Linchfield Community Primary School. Children find out how people affect the environment and how they are affected by it. They carry out geographical enquiry inside and outside the classroom. They use geographical skills and resources such as maps; atlases; aerial photographs and ICT to ask and answer geographical questions.
PE
Sporting provision at Linchfield ensures that our children have the chance to participate in a wide range of sports delivered by both teaching staff and professional coaches. As a result, teams from Linchfield regularly compete in local competitions in disciplines such as football, hockey, netball, Rounders and Athletics .
All children are also provided with supervised swimming lessons at The Deepings local swimming pool.
RE
At Linchfield Academy we promote respect and tolerance. Children are introduced to six religious traditions in the course of their time at the school, and great care is taken to ensure that all beliefs are valued.
– Christianity.
– Hinduism.
– Buddihsm.
– Islam.
– Judaism.
– Sikhism.
Computing
IT is used in all areas of the curriculum to support children’s learning. Appropriate software is used to develop pupils technological communication skills; handling of information and use of web based resources. All children are provided with filtered and supervised internet access. We aim for the computing curriculum to expose children to a variety of types of technology and opportunities to use different computing programs, software, and equipment throughout their learning journey.
Design Technology
At Linchfield we strive to ensure that our Design and Technology curriculum equips our young learners with the creative and practical skills needed to design, make, and evaluate purposeful products. We provide our children with hands-on projects that incorporate elements of engineering, construction, and problem-solving; providing our pupils with opportunities to explore materials, tools, and techniques in a safe and stimulating environment.
