Awe & Wonder Curriculum
Back to Resource BankLessons will encourage pupils to engage with their sense of curiosity, inviting and exploring the feeling of awe and wonder in our everyday lives.
Students will be invited to reflect on the sensations of awe whilst exploring some of the stimulus of this feeling – from rainbows, mountains and waterfalls to music, dancing or stargazing – connecting with our emotional responses to the extraordinary world around us.
They will learn to ask big questions and feel engaged and confident with the idea of the ‘unknown’, learning to embrace the mystery and magic of life as something to cherish and treasure. Lessons invite practices for recognising and appreciating wonder in the everyday as well as the wider world.
All of our programmes encourage the practices of critical thinking & questioning, deep listening, empathy building and thinking in systems (understanding how things connect) by engaging in a wide range of learning stimulus, discussion ideas and creative exercises.
