A curious curriculum - teaching foundation subjects well
This book explores the transformational steps a school can take towards designing and delivering a rich, rigorous and wide-ranging curriculum. The authors concentrate on the foundation subjects, particularly history, geography and science but also design and technology and art and design - areas that are often challenging for teachers in primary schools. Subjects are brought together and explored under 'big ideas' and, crucially, the emphasis is on avoiding the superficial and trivial and rooting teaching in extending and challenging children.
