Opening Worlds

At Hatton Hill, we know that our children learn best when learning is carefully sequenced and allows children to make connections between subjects. We also know the importance of quality texts and images which extend children's knowledge and vocabulary so expanding their view of the world. For this reason, we have adopted Opening Worlds.  This knowledge-rich humanities programme for teaching history, geography and religion, places a high emphasis on all we hold important. The story-telling approach engages children whilst taking them on a carefully planned and sequenced learning journey with global and cultural breadth, embracing wide diversity across ethnicity, gender, region and community. Prepare to be amazed by what your children will learn and know!

The Opening Worlds Year 4 Religious Education curriculum focuses heavily on the origins, key narratives, and teachings of Christianity and Islam, while also exploring core Hindu texts and stories. The program structures its content to build deep disciplinary knowledge and chronological connections to history and geography. This curriculum has been approved by Sefton SACRE (Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education).

Our Intent and Impact (I&I) sheets below list the questions we want children to be able to answer once they have completed their learning. They also highlight key vocabulary which children must learn.
