Cross-curricular Approaches to Teaching and Learning e-bog

What would the primary curriculum look like with humanities at its heart? How can cross-curricular work help children to learn more effectively?With practical ideas on how to join up the primary curriculum, this book uses history and geography to explore different contexts and strategies for making links between the full range of primary subjects, so that learning can be more integrated and relevant to learners. The authors demonstrate how these subjects can serve as the basis upon which values can be developed in the curriculum. There are powerful case studies, including examples of pupils work and talk, and teachers reflections.
