What is a Knowledge Organiser ?

A knowledge organiser is a document contains key facts and information that children need to have a basic knowledge and understanding of a topic.

Knowledge Organisers will include:

the essential facts about the topic, usually laid out in easily digestible chunks

key vocabulary or technical terms and their meanings

images such as maps or diagrams

famous quotations, if relevant.

What a knowledge organiser includes will depend on the subject. For example, a ‘Second World War’ knowledge organiser and a ‘Rivers’ knowledge organiser would both include maps, but the former would also include a timeline, and the latter would need diagrams.
