Knowledge Organisers
What is a knowledge organiser?
A knowledge organiser is a document, usually no more than two sides of A4, that contains key facts and information that children need, to have a basic knowledge and understanding of a topic.
Most knowledge organisers will include:
- essential facts about the topic, usually laid out in easily digestible chunks
- key vocabulary or technical terms and their meaning
- key questions and 'big ideas' that will be discussed in order to promote historical enquiry
- images such as maps or diagrams
- important dates/ timeline of events
