Each topic, we use a pre and post whiteboard to talk about with our classes to find out what the children's prior knowledge is and what they are interested to find out on this topic. We then create our own Big Questions to focus in with throughout our topic. This allows for Pupil voice to be heard and at the core of our IDL planning.
As part of our promotion of Outdoor Learning, we also collaborate with our Outdoor specialist Grace and stage partner to create an established outdoor lesson that can be linked to our big questions. This is also a good opportunity to build on wider skills that can be taught beyond the classroom, as well as build on teamwork, independence and creativity.
