Nursery
| Our Wondering | How does the past make us who we are today? |
| Why is this module important? | Abernant Primary is not largely diverse so providing experiences, and teaching and learning of diversity is hugely beneficial for them.

Year 2 & 3
| Our Wondering | Do we need rules? |
| Why is this module important? | I want them to understand that rules help keep us safe in school, life and the wider world. |
| What understandings will my child develop? | Looking at cause and effect, exploring the key events which may have changed the local community. Through identity and belonging, understand how people show they belong to a community. Pupils will explore the concept of Authority and understand that people in Wales/UK have the right to vote for someone (Governance) |
Year 4
| Our Wondering | What do we believe and why? |
| Why is this module important? | It will help the children to understand their place in place in history and how religion has shaped Wales. |
| What understandings will my child develop? | The study of chronology shows how religions have changed over time. Understanding our modern sense of identity and belonging involves making simple comparisons and connections between the features of historical periods and today, both locally and globally. Discuss how change and continuity has helped to shape Wales today. Understanding justice, inequality and rights includes knowing how individuals demonstrate care, concern and respect when thinking about religions and beliefs. |
Year 5 & 6
| Our Wondering | Can one person change the world? |
| Why is this module important? | This inquiry is important for our children because they do not think that their voice matters. This topic is designed to empower them and show how they are connected. With the election for the labour leader coming up in March, it will be important for the children to understand their responsibility in regards to voting for the leader of Wales. |
