Introducing the Religion and worldviews scheme of work
This downloadable guide is intended for parents and carers to understand what their children will learn each term by following the Kapow Primary mixed-age Religion and worldviews scheme of work.
The guide provides a summary of each unit within the R&W scheme, outlining what children will learn in their lesson plans each term from EYFS (Reception) to Year 5/6.
Subscribing schools may share this guide on their websites or through other communication channels, ensuring parents and carers are well-informed about the R&W skills and knowledge their children will acquire throughout the school year.
This Science video introduces teachers to how pupils can use their knowledge of variation, inheritance, and adaptation to understand natural selection and the theory of evolution. Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace proposed that traits helping an organism survive or reproduce are more likely to be passed on, as nature “selects” the best adapted to compete for resources.
This Science video introduces teachers to an investigation modelling Charles Darwin’s observations of finch beaks in the Galapagos. Pupils use tweezers and fingers as beaks and rice as food, timing how much can be transferred between containers in ten seconds.
This Science video introduces teachers to the concepts of variation, inheritance, and adaptation, and how these factors affect survival. Variation is the difference between individuals of the same species, caused by the environment, genetics, or a combination of both. Environmental variation, such as accents, injuries, or hobbies, is influenced by lifestyle and surroundings and cannot be passed on to offspring.
Teachers learn how to develop source-based enquiry from Reception to Year 6 and guide children in investigating the past in this History video.
Children explore different types of historical sources and learn to question their origins and reliability in this History video.
This History video introduces teachers to the key facts and context behind the evacuation of children during the Second World War. It explains who was evacuated, when and why, and explores the emotional and social impact of leaving home for the countryside. The video outlines how British civilians were affected by the threat of bombing, how evacuation was organised by the government, and what children experienced in their new rural homes. It uses real examples to show the wide range of experiences – both positive and negative – felt by evacuees and host families.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s History scheme of work – War. It supports teachers in delivering lessons on life in Britain during World War II. It helps teachers feel confident in explaining the purpose, challenges, and legacy of wartime evacuation, offering historical context, first-hand accounts and classroom strategies. Teachers are encouraged to support children in developing empathy, critical thinking, and historical enquiry through discussion of real-life experiences and evidence from the time.
