A Knowledge Organiser is a simple, one-page guide that shows the key facts and ideas your child will learn in a topic.

How do they help children?

• They provide the core knowledge that children need to cover in the unit, and it is shared at the beginning, so children know what they are going to be learning.
• Knowledge Organisers help them to remember key dates, key people, key events, vocabulary and definitions and key concepts.
• They improve children's ability to remember.
• Knowledge Organisers also help them to develop other skills - eg when writing a nonfiction report, if they already have the knowledge, they can focus on the writing skills.

How do they help parents/carers?

The Knowledge Organisers enable you to know what your child is being taught and is expected to know for each unit of work. We encourage you to share them with your children, as they are a great way to support their learning.
