Knowledge organisers are a summary of the key facts and essential knowledge that pupils need about a unit of work or a curriculum subject. They are a really useful guide to help pupils improve their recall of key knowledge.
Knowledge organisers will be added below throughout the term which link to our topic area. They are an excellent way to introduce new vocabulary so please share and discuss them with your child at home. You can quiz them and ask questions about what new information they have learnt.
