One of my tasks for the holiday is to produce a new Key Stage 3 scheme of work.

A bit of context is needed… the scheme is for year 7 and based around food, but it will deliver atlas skills, some basic numeracy and ICT skills. It will probably be taught around the mid part of the first half-term, so I’m looking at easing them in, as well as developing good habits.

I’m not sure whether this is the start of the scheme or not (I just wanted to make a start!), I’ve been thinking about how to open the unit. This was my first bit of inspiration.

To Cath for spotting a typo on the pop-up drainage basin page and to Lindy for spotting a dead link to the geographical superlatives document. Cheers

Hiding from the heat I’ve been trying to get to grips with the new Key Stage 3 levels, I’ve produced a baseline to encourage extended answers (2mb doc). We already do a place baseline, I’d be grateful for any feedback.
