Early Years Resources

The early years approach to the Morecambe Bay Curriculum is driven by psychological research which emphasises the importance of curiosity-driven learning, question-asking, a sense of wonder and creativity.

Using everything from teddy bears to technology, we encourage children to get outdoors, so they can stop, take notice and find new ways of seeing the world. Take a look at our resources here.

Primary Resources

The primary approach to the Morecambe Bay Curriculum helps children develop their understanding and love of where they live through outdoor learning, storytelling and creative practice to bring STEM, Geography and local history to life.

The cross-curricular resources focuses particularly on ecology and biodiversity, geographical features, history of the Bay and the intersections of art and science. Take a look at our resources here.
