The following rolling programme shows how we plan to cover all the required topics so that all children have an opportunity to experience and learn about all topics with little repetition. This is a four year rolling programme so children in Year 2 will repeat some topics (but at a higher level; more and different information; higher skills) in Year 6. Alternative topics will be chosen as appropriate.i.e different extreme events in Year A
