Description:
This is what Schools Minister Jim Knight has to say about it:
- 'The Primary Project Box has the potential not only to enrich the learning experience of young children in schools, but also to become a key source of professional development for primary teachers, including those in initial training. This unique venture brings together primary practitioners from a range of subject specialist perspectives ...I commend it to all primary schools.'
It builds upon the play-based, holistic approach of the Early Years Handbook, the Curriculum Partnership's highly successful project for the foundation stage, by introducing simple, enjoyable activities related to individual subjects, and forms an excellent basis for more intensive subject-based work in Key Stage 2.
Written by teachers for teachers, the Primary Project Box contains five themed teaching units in booklet form, each with its own multimedia CD and web pages on the Subject Association website.
The theme, 'Our School/Our World', develops subject knowledge within the coherence of children's experience. The lessons focus on Art, English, Geography, History, Mathematics, Music, PE, Primary Languages and RE. Design and Technology and ICT are covered in detail in the teachers' guide Teaching out of the box.
