Road Trip - UK Topic Pack

This is a topic/ theme overview designed to act as a stimulus when planning a topic for KS2 about The UK and includes vocabulary packs and Questions to Investigate. To get the best out of this resource teachers should select from each area to meet the needs of their class and then produce their own planning as required by their school. The overview suggest ideas and resources but it is not a set of lesson plans and activities ; just the kernel of ideas for teachers to use and put their stamp on. Not all of the suggestions should be included in one topic, just those deemed to achieve the objectives selected by the teacher.
Page 1 consists of: reading suggestions for subject knowledge and books to use with children; visit ideas; relevant websites; topic hooks and a list of prominent people
Page 2 consists of: ideas for English, Maths, Science, History and Geography
Page 3 consists of: ideas for Foundation subjects
