Autumn Term 2025 – Let’s Celebrate the Threads That Connect Us
Let’s Celebrate the Threads That Connect Us invites learners to discover how beliefs, values, and traditions shape lives across different cultures and communities. By engaging with major world religions and non-religious worldviews, pupils will encounter a rich variety of practices, celebrations, symbols, and beliefs that highlight both our diversity and the universal values of kindness, respect, fairness, and courage. This learning fosters empathy, curiosity, and a strong sense of belonging, while celebrating each learner’s unique identity, heritage, and cynefin. Children will explore the diversity within their school community, reflect on the role of traditions and values in shaping who we are, and recognise the common threads that connect us all. Through this, they will develop an understanding of how to live in and contribute to a fair and inclusive society, promote awareness of the ethnic and cultural diversity within Wales, and respect their rights and the rights of others. Ultimately, this theme aims to inspire learners to become caring, participative citizens of their local, national, and global communities.
Summer Term – Coastline and Countryside
The Coast and Country topic is essential for fostering a sense of place and belonging among pupils. By exploring the diverse landscapes of Wales and beyond, learners gain a sense of cynefin and an appreciation for their local environment and their role in its preservation. This topic enhances their geographical knowledge and respect for the relationship between people and nature, nurturing a generation committed to sustainability
