Projects on a Page: KS1 Pack of Five Project Planners

Five project planners taken from the full Projects on a Page pack covering the following aspects:

• Food: Preparing fruit and vegetables
• Textiles: Templates and joining
• Mechanisms: Sliders and levers, Wheels and axles
• Structures: Freestanding structures

This pack of five planners includes the teachers’ handbook from the full version with details of how to use them effectively and how they fit into your progression planning. Each planner has a 20-point planning route which gives scope for teachers to use their creativity and professional judgment, whilst ensuring the quality, integrity and rigour of children’s learning. Each is accompanied by useful sketches and diagrams in a helpsheet format to support teachers delivering the project in the classroom. Also included are suggestions on class organisation, teaching tips and techniques, links to resources and a glossary of technical terminology related to the project.

The complete set of 23 planners for Key Stages 1 and 2 is available here.
