A Curious Curriculum - Teaching foundation subjects well

Mick Waters, Claire Banks

Beschreibung

Written by Claire Banks and Mick Waters, A Curious Curriculum: Teaching foundation subjects well details the insightful and transformational steps that a school can take towards designing and delivering a rich, rigorous and wide-ranging curriculum.
Foreword by Mary Myatt.
Rather than being a model curriculum that can be uprooted and planted in any school, the book is a model schools can use to design their own curriculum, one that not only encourages children to be active participants in their own learning, but also to see the benefits of being part of a bigger, wider family of learners.
The authors concentrate on the foundation subjects, particularly history, geography and science but also design and technology (DT) and art and design areas that are often challenging for teachers in primary schools. Subjects are brought together and explored under "big ideas" and, crucially, the emphasis is on avoiding the superficial and trivial and rooting teaching in extending and challenging children.
In A Curious Curriculum, Claire Banks and Mick Waters share the story of one multi-academy trust (MAT) which designed and delivered a shared educational vision, a rationale for excellence in the curriculum, and the resources and support given to help reduce teachers' workload.
Claire and Mick present a clear model both for supporting a group of schools or leading one school, offering a fresh perspective on working on a MAT-wide curriculum, as well as providing a range of snapshot examples of the curriculum in action in the form of documents, plans, photos and the learners' own work. The book shares transferrable lessons from the trust's journey to success, setting out an educational philosophy that pairs pedagogy with a well-structured curriculum designed with learners' best interests at its heart.
All children deserve an engaging, exciting curriculum designed to spark their curiosity, feed their imagination and develop their skills and knowledge. With clear timelines and an honest and transparent dialogue about the challenges and benefits of working together collaboratively and the importance of external expertise, A Curious Curriculum is an essential read for all school leaders.
Suitable for executive leaders, head teachers, curriculum coordinators and subject leaders in primary school settings.

A World Rewritten

Santiago Machain

In the aftermath of ideological collapse and technological overreach, humanity stands at a critical crossroads. The old empires have fallen, the myths of progress lie shattered, and yet a new vision begins to rise from the ashes. In this sweeping narrative of political reinvention, cultural restoration, and cognitive evolution, Book Three: A World Rewritten explores a world where history is rewritten, myth and memory merge, and a new civilization struggles to define itself. 
Through alternate histories, radical diplomacy, decentralized knowledge systems, and deeply human questions, this book challenges readers to confront what it means to belong in a world unmoored from its past—but alive with possibility. 
From the fall of Athens to the simulated mind of Alexander the Great, from a world without Columbus to the emergence of unified languages and fractured technologies, this book is both a cautionary tale and a hopeful blueprint. Could a better future still be possible? The answer lives in the stories we choose to tell.

African American Magick - A...

Stephanie Rose Bird

An inspired herbal guide to natural living with ancient techniques, remedies, and rituals from around the world centered on the rhythms of the seasons.   The changing of the seasons is magickal—green leaves transforming into browns and golds, snow melting to show fresh buds. We all recognize these telltale signs, but few of us are aware of the powerful impact each season has on our spiritual lives. Whether sunny, snowy, windy, rainy, cold, or humid, the weather has a dramatic effect on our being wherever we may live.   The author, Stephanie Rose Bird, is deeply committed to keeping alive the spiritual wisdom of her indigenous African ancestors. In African American Magick, she examines the magickal ability of the seasons to enhance our lives by unearthing ancient techniques, rituals, and methods from around the world that reflect each season’s inherent energies to supplement body, mind, and soul.   Drawing upon her own ancestral heritage, as well as other cultures and those that have influenced her, Bird offers a lifetime of wisdom and expert botanical knowledge while sharing her path to a holistic and magickal life. Guidance from all over the world, and from classical and modern traditions alike, are offered:  Spiritual insights from Caribbean African American culture  Wisdom from indigenous Native American traditions  Buddhist and Hindu meditation practices and rites  Practices of classical European spiritual traditions  Lessons from Aboriginal Australian “dreaming” practices African American Magick was previously published in 2006 under the title Four Seasons of Mojo. This new edition includes a new preface by the author.

Napoleon's Europe - Empire and...

Nova Ashford

Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the most influential figures in world history, rose from modest beginnings to become the emperor of France and the master of much of Europe. Born on August 15, 1769, on the island of Corsica, Napoleon came from a relatively modest family. His father, a lawyer, was part of the minor nobility, but the family’s wealth was limited. Despite these humble origins, Napoleon's extraordinary ambition, sharp intellect, and relentless drive would propel him into the center of European politics, shaping the future of the continent.
Napoleon’s early life was marked by education at military academies, where his talent for strategy and leadership quickly became apparent. At the age of 16, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the French army. His rise through the ranks coincided with the turmoil of the French Revolution, which fundamentally altered France and its political landscape. In 1789, the French Revolution erupted, dismantling the monarchy and challenging traditional structures of power. It was in this chaotic period that Napoleon saw his opportunity.
During the Revolution, Napoleon initially made his name through his military prowess, especially during the Italian Campaign in the late 1790s. His innovative tactics and leadership were crucial in securing French victories against Austria and its allies. These victories not only increased Napoleon’s reputation but also solidified his status as one of France’s most brilliant generals. By 1799, France was embroiled in political instability, and the government—the Directory—was weakened by corruption and poor leadership. Amid this instability, Napoleon seized the moment to take control.
