Family education trips in holidays

[whattimeislove]

So I've had a look at the curriculum for next year (year 3) and there are a few subjects in history/geography that we could explore as a family over the holidays (think historical buildings or museums).

They won't be visiting the places in school time, so I'm thinking it would be ok to do these trips and talk through the subject with our child, ahead of it being covered in class.

Does this sound ok? Would teachers think child is a know-all and we're a bit try-hard?? Child loves learning and the thought of these trips and it would be nice to be involved in his learning, but not sure how teachers would feel about it.

Green But the school refuse to plan ahead and disclose what they will or wont be doing.

I had this a bit with DD1 but I came to understand it.

1. Different sets do different texts so they might still be reflecting on potential set moves.
2. The actual teacher gets to pick the text for their class. Sometimes they decide on this based on how well the class is getting on / what they think will 'work' best. Thus they might not need to know yet, and it might be detrimental to their teaching to decide too early. (Though I agree it is annoying to e.g. discover they are doing An Inspector Calls the month after it has been on at a theatre nearby!)

If your child likes it why not? It might make them more enthusiastic about what they learn in school. That said I wouldn't overly focus on the curriculum if they're interested why not allow them to develop their own interests.
