A thematic scheme of work using new national curriculum objectives designed for a 2 year cycle at KS3. Used in lower ability/SEN nurture context, but could be adapted for mainstream. Units incorporate a literacy focus with a wide range of reading and writing activities. These English lessons intersect with PSHE, Humanities, Science and arts and sports subjects, as well as using on-going focus on basic literacy and all types of writing. Poetry and non-fiction is spread throughout the SOW so that skills are maintained throughout the academic year. Topics are designed to be engaging and diverse whilst still covering new curriculum aims. I shall put accompanying medium term plans on as I build them.

The language explore basic programming instructions such as ‘forward’ ‘right’ ‘left’ and measurements in pixels and degrees to build simple images. This scheme is simple and works well with Maths lessons too in order to build understanding of angles and degrees as well as problem solving. Can use in conjunction with learning around shapes and geometry. Good for Year 3 upwards
