Pzaz National Curriculum Coverage Map

The Pzaz National Curriculum Coverage Map provides a structured overview of the educational topics covered throughout the academic year for primary school students in the UK, from Year 1 to Year 6. For Year 1, the autumn term focuses on identifying and naming common plants and animals, understanding their basic structures, and learning about everyday materials. Spring extends this knowledge to include seasonal changes and weather patterns, while summer reviews these concepts. The curriculum is designed to foster an understanding of the natural world, with activities such as drawing and labeling the human body, comparing materials based on their properties, and observing seasonal changes.

As students progress to Year 2, the curriculum builds on their foundational knowledge. In autumn, they explore the growth of plants from seeds and bulbs, while in spring, the focus shifts to the basic needs of animals and humans for survival, as well as the importance of exercise, diet, and hygiene. The summer term introduces the concept of habitats and simple food chains. By Year 3, students delve into more complex topics like the functions of plant parts, the human skeletal and muscular systems, the properties of rocks, and the principles of light and forces. Each subsequent year introduces new scientific concepts, including the water cycle, electricity, the digestive system, and the classification of living things, leading up to Year 6 where students learn about the human circulatory system, evolution, and the principles of light and electricity. The map ensures that each term's learning objectives align with the National Curriculum, providing a comprehensive and cohesive educational journey.
