The Harmony Project

04/08/2026

To complement our science resources for KS1, we recently launched six seasonal models of practice for the EYFS linked to Understanding the World.

Each one shows how connections can be established over the course of a half term between learning themes, Nature-rich provision and a child’s developing awareness and understanding of one of the principles of Harmony we work with.

The first of our summer term models of practice exemplifies how Nature connection and a child’s developing understanding of the principle of the Cycle can be nurtured through continuous and enhanced provision in nine areas:

🌱 Thinking sustainably
🌱 Celebrating Nature
🌱 Exploring natural creativity
🌱 Connecting with Nature and each other
🌱 Learning from Nature about the Cycle
🌱 Being out and about in Nature
🌱 Curating Nature tables and curiosity collections
🌱 Finding maths in Nature
🌱 Facilitating loose parts play

🔎 Explore the principle of Adaptation under the theme of WWII in this science pack, designed to support learning in Year 6.

💡Children will learn about different light sources and uses of different materials during WWII, a time when adaptation was crucial to daily living under the harsh realities of war.

➡️ This teaching pack contains planning, activities and signposts to supporting resources across six weeks of learning. It can be downloaded at the link below and is free to access.

🔎 Explore the journey of a local river with Year 5 students, in our science pack for the first half of the autumn term.

Like all our enquiry-led teaching resources, this pack asks the big questions that help unlock learning and bring it to life, with opportunities to learn about, in and from Nature woven throughout six weeks of lesson plans.

You can download the pack at the link below.

Science teachers, happy planning!

As part of our Year 4 offering, this science pack explores Anglo-Saxon farming practices and the impact the Anglo-Saxon diet had on people living during that time, as well as taking a close look at the modern diet.

Across six lessons, the pack explores the functions of different teeth to tackle complexities of different diets and takes an in-depth look at the digestive system, with fun activities to bring learning to life inside and outside the classroom.

This resource is free to access and can be downloaded here: https://lnkd.in/eyKbpXRg

The principle of the Cycle sits at the heart of learning in our Year 3 science pack titled, 'How can we identify native trees in autumn?' 🍁

Asking six key questions to guide a half term of science lessons, children will explore the differences between trees and plants; what makes healthy soil; water absorption in plants and trees and the functions of leaves, fruits and seeds. They will end the half term of learning with close exploration of apple trees to consolidate their knowledge.

Our science packs align with National curriculum expectations and progression and build beautifully upon prior learning from EYFS onwards.

Our Year 1 science teaching pack for the autumn half term asks the question 'What kind of superhero do I want to be?' 💭

Guided by the principle of Diversity, this pack takes a deep dive into our senses, and explores the similarities and differences between us. There are opportunities for Nature connection and outdoor learning woven throughout, to help bring learning to life outside the classroom 🌱

You'll find the pack, free to download, here: https://lnkd.in/eXS9uAaa

📢 Calling all primary science leads

Over the coming days, we'll be sharing insights into our science resources for Years 1 to Year 6 for the autumn term.

Mapped out alongside National Curriculum expectations and with Nature and sustainability at the fore, each pack offers opportunities to take learning outside the classroom to learn about, in and from Nature and bring learning to life.

Each pack is free to access and contains lesson guides, activity templates, illustrations and beautiful photography throughout.

Stay tuned for more!

As we're currently enjoying , we are here to remind you about our science subject leaders' handbook, which is available to download for free from our website.

Focusing on science as one element in a holistic, joined-up primary curriculum, this resource offers richly detailed insights and information to help science subject leaders navigate the hugely rewarding area of curriculum design.

It introduces the three 'golden threads' that run through a Harmony-inspired curriculum and outlines the benefits of this approach to science curriculum design in schools.

These golden threads are:
🌱 Sustainability and Nature at the heart of education
🌱 Interconnected curriculum coherence
🌱 Curriculum design that is underpinned by the principles of Harmony

When woven together, these threads create a unique approach to curriculum design and play a unique role in shaping a child’s future and understanding of sustainability.

If you would like to discuss how to implement this framework in your science curriculum, please contact [email protected].
