Science Investigation - Fabric & Fashion
Pupils find out about and compare a range of fabrics, their properties and uses through observation, discussion and simple scientific investigations. They'll consolidate their learning through playing a team game and then use imagination and problem-solving skills to design a garment for the future. Fun, creative activities provide cross-curricula links to speaking and listening and Design & Technology.
Chocolate - Proof of the Pudding
This resource uses the M&S Chocolate Melt in the Middle Pudding as a focus for fun, cross-curricula learning. Pupils explore the science of baking and chocolate, finding out about the functions of different ingredients and design their own new dessert. Conduct a delicious taste test using scientific thinking to really analyse and evaluate the flavours and textures of the pudding. Fun, creative activities provide links to speaking and listening and literacy.
History - What's On My Plate?
Pupils use archive sources to compare old and new, and identify continuity and change in how we eat. Fun, creative activities provide cross-curricula links to Science, Geography and healthy eating.
D&T - Packaging: Discover & Design
Pupils design, make and evaluate their own biscuit tin designs using net patterns and draw on archive sources for design inspiration. Fun, creative activities provide cross-curricula links to speaking and listening and persuasive writing.
