SPARX Four Year Cycle of Topics:

  • meets the NZ and NSW curriculum requirements for Years 1-4 and for years 5-8 within each two year period
  • provides Sparx Teacher Planners with suggested big ideas, focus questions, skill foci, value foci, key areas of investigation, and lots of ideas to stimulate great teaching within a contemporary framework of learning
  • provides Sparx Teacher Planners for each broad topic in the subjects of:
    • Science
    • Social Science
    • Health (not PE)
    • Language genre (note that this is not the skills areas of grammar, spelling, punctuation etc)
    • Art, via the Celebrate Art resources
  • has an increasingly rich range of support resources including:
  • Maths Cards which use maths to discover the ideas about the world around us, and the world around us to discover mathematical principles
It is recommended, though not a requirement, that schools use topics from within a single ‘year’ range within each year in order to ensure a thorough spread of curriculum requirements is covered, e.g.
  • Each ‘year’ group has science topics covering Biology, Physics, Earth Science/Astronomy and Chemistry
  • Each ‘year’ group has historical, geographical, and cultural studies
