All learning journeys can be linked to the National Curriculum and the list below highlights which sections they may be relevant to. SINE recommends you read through the selected learning journey first to see if it is suitable for your needs. You can do this by following the title links from the list. Relevant worksheets, information sheets and Print & Play activity sheets have been linked to each learning journey for your convenience (you will need Adobe Reader to view these).
