We had planned to do a termly topic based on Our Local Area, this inquiry-based Science and Technology project seemed to be the perfect base to our topic-based learning. The work was completed by taking the Units and spending a week on each one. Progression maps based on Progression Step 3 are included as resources for this project but because we as a school work with mixed age classes, Years 3 and 4 and Years 5 and 6 both classes were able to access all units.
Each unit of work has been designed to work as stand alone leaving you to pick and choose the units of work appropriate to your theme.
