Primary cross curricular. Planning a scheme of work. Ancient Greece. 2
Description
Richard Woff, Head of Schools and Young Audiences Education at the British Museum, suggests that good planning and following natural links will get the best out of a cross- curricular topic like Ancient Greece. Bernadette Solomon, aYear 4 teacher at St Lawrence Primary, Feltham, reflects on her own scheme of work which includes a museum visit that generates opportunities in English, art and citizenship. Paul Clifford, the museum's E-learning Resources Officer, demonstrates how she can strengthen her ICT activities and introduce some mathematics. For Richard, a museum visit should be integral to any scheme of work. What works is to take something complex, say a picture from a pot, and allow different themes to emerge from it. Greek myths offer opportunities for literacy, and strong citizenship and PSHE issues. Bernadette continues to be inspired by the wealth of curriculum links on offer and the interactive resources available.
