Knowledge Organisers

At Welling School, we believe that a firm grounding in knowledge should be at the core of students learning. With this in mind, we have created a series of knowledge organisers to give you an overview of what your child will be studying in autumn term 1. A knowledge organiser is a set of key facts or information that students need to know and be able to recall in order to master a unit or topic. This will help them to develop and deepen their learning across all of their lessons. 

Each subject has created one or more knowledge organisers based upon the topics that are being studied in the first term. Alongside the knowledge organisers, teachers will set students homework via their Google classrooms. Students should learn the information in their knowledge organiser in their own time so that they can recall it easily. This can be done following these simple steps:

Read – Spend 5 to 10 minutes reading through a knowledge organiser.

Cover – Either cover over key topics or simply turn your knowledge organiser over to ensure that the information is well hidden.

Quiz – Ask a friend or relative to test your knowledge on what you have learnt. 

Repeat - Repeat the steps until you have committed the material to memory and mastered the topic. 

If you are still struggling with a topic, then you might want to carry out further research and make your own knowledge organiser.
