What aspects of the National Curriculum do we cover?
Surfing:
Environmental Education:
We make sure that we are fulfilling key parts of the curriculum with science and geography through our sessions, working in a scientific manner and developing field study skills with our exploration, as well as covering specific topics which are outlined below:
In addition to this we also include literacy and numeracy in our sessions. There is language and vocabulary development as we work with groups exploring our coast. We also not just observe but measure, record and interpret findings which will include some basic mathematical skills and calculation. We can adjust these elements, so they are covered indirectly as we explore naturally or are covered more directly in sessions.
We can adjust the sessions to cover the specific part of the curriculum that you want:
Coastal Exploration Days:
