Our Star Days are all about revisiting the Wider Curriculum in fun and exciting ways!

For one day, every half term, the day's curriculum is suspended and teachers build a timetable based on revisiting aspects of the half term's learning from across the curriculum.

The idea is to provide children with additional opportunities to learn more and remember more, gaining an even deeper understanding of key information from current or recently taught topics.
