This Endangered Species cross curricular topic planner details the curricular outcomes (ACfE) being targeted as well as lesson ideas and suggestions for each relevant curricular area. This planner is aimed at 2nd Level/KS2 pupils. It also links to the separate topic of the Water Cycle (also available via my shop) and ties the two in together. There are accompanying worksheets on for sale separately to go alongside both topics also. These will all be on sale soon as a bundle. However, both topics would be appropriate as stand alone if desired.

This topic explores the changing pop scene and broadcasting technology from the 1960s onwards. A retired music producer reminisces and challenges the pupils to produce their own episode of the show featuring all 5 decades. Lots of fun and learning plus very child led.
A Cross Curricular Topic using the Billionaire Boy Novel.
Covering language, maths, expressive arts, health and well being outcomes.
Used with primary 7.
I have designed this music topic pack with the intention of covering various aspects of music education, along with the ability to include this within an integrated curricular planner. This topic brings ICT in throughout as well as easily lending itself to the inclusion of various other curricular areas, such as language, social studies, science, design & technology, ICT, drama, P.E. and art.
This pack would be particularly beneficial if used in conjunction with a topic on the weather/seasons/nature. Elements could also be linked in well to a topic on Europe. Although some of the lessons may appear to be more ICT based than music, the aim is that the children expand their experience in all areas of music while using new technology. Some of the lessons are more traditionally musically based than others, but each one will provide a beneficial learning experience for the children. They are going to be gaining experience in a range of skills and abilities, such as playing instruments, composing, listening and discussing, working collaboratively, using music as an inspiration for other areas, being able to identify techniques used in music to portray different moods and images.
A great way to start planning a topic. Get all of your ideas down on a colourful and visual topic map.
Included is an example map created for my topic on Hamlet and a blank version, which can be adapted and tailored to suit your needs.
If you're running CPD on planning a topic, this is a good way to get staff thinking about cross-curricular links.

These activities are designed for use as a starter or a plenary activity in a range of curriculum areas. They also have the potential to be used as an activity during a registration/tutorial period. For maximum effect they should be used on an interactive board or large screen display. There are three slides relating to a number of topics. The first slide does not give the pupils the words they are searching for, they will use prior knowledge of a topic. The second slide gives the list of words to find and the third slide gives the “answers”. There are 20 activities in total and the whole presentation contains 63 slides.
6 sorting activities using colour symbols and linked to a range of topics.
