Golden Threads
Warren Wood: Golden Thread
Our ‘Golden Threads’ are the concepts that link learning together within and across subjects. They help children to contextualise their learning and relate new ideas to what they already know. We also have our seven 'Golden Threads' for being an effective learner which set out the characteristics needed whenever we are learning anything new. Please also see the attached files for our 'Golden Thread' documents which have been illustrated by our children.
