Curriculum Enrichment

All schools are required to offer children a broad and balanced curriculum that promotes their spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development, and prepares them for the opportunities and experiences of adult life. At Mount Carmel RC Primary School we seek to ensure that the National Curriculum is delivered to all children, regardless of social background, race, gender or differences in ability. All are entitled to the development of knowledge, understanding, skills, and attitudes. To enrich the curriculum for our children, we also offer a range of educational visits and other activities that add to and complement what they learn in school.

Take a look at the exciting Curriculum Enrichment activities that have happened this year:

Electricity Workshop

Year 4 had a special visitor, Stephen, from Creative Builders Workshop, learning all about electricity through Lego. We learnt: where electricity comes from, the difference between a complete and incomplete circuit, how a switch works and why they are needed, how to construct a simple series electrical circuit and identifying and naming its base parts.

“My favourite part of the activity was seeing the final design all lit up!”

“I learnt that electricity needs a conductor to flow.”

“I learnt that we needed to work together and use our communication.”

“We took part in this activity to develop our understanding of the new Science topic and get a firm idea of the new vocabulary we will be learning about.”

European Day of Languages

KS2 celebrated European Day of Languages by engaging in a variety of language themed activities. Each year group learnt how to say: a greeting, what is your name, and my name is… in different languages. Year 3 learnt Spanish, Year 4 learnt Italian, Year 5 learnt Irish, and Year 6 learnt Portuguese.

“I enjoyed the day because we learnt the importance of languages and I liked learning a completely different

language.”

“I enjoyed winning the ‘detective’ game three times in a row.”

“I enjoyed learning Spanish.”

“I would love to carry on learning the language we focused on during European Day of Languages.”
