Topics (Blueprints) Book

This teacher resource book is designed for practical classroom use with 5-8 year olds. It provides full resources for ten core infant topics, ranging from colour and shape to knights and castles. The book includes 70 photocopiable and copyright-free activity sheets. There are also topic flowcharts and lists of the basic concepts which each topic introduces. Topics are provided at three levels of difficulty, roughly reflecting the three infant age groups. The topics in the first section adopt an egocentric and experimental approach, whereas subsequent topics begin to provide opportunity for greater development of skills and more extensive use of the imagination. The ideas for work in each topic are designed to fit in with general expectations of attainment for that age group. All elements of the National Curriculum's core and foundation subjects for primary schools have been incorporated into these topics, which aim to be cross-curricular.Read More
