The Natural Curriculum is Studio Cultivate’s new curriculum-spanning provision. The Natural Curriculum uses nature and story-telling as the inspiration for comprehensive, cross-curricular learning adventures delivered by teachers and parents. Each Natural Curriculum project weaves a fictional story into a factual timeline, placing a plant or animal at the centre of the story’s narrative. Each story chapter provides an exciting catalyst for a clear National Curriculum learning objective that links pupils’ disciplinary skills and substantive knowledge across all subjects.
Each package is provided with a mapped progression of learning, showing where children have come from, where they are going and how they will get there.
The Natural Curriculum can also be provided with CPD training in horticultural and storytelling skills along with pedagogy and subject knowledge to enhance teaching and learning.
