With a separate page for each curricular area, columns for E/Os and skills assessed, type of assessment carried out and date of assessment, this is a practical and comprehensive way to keep track of pupil learning and development. Whilst this has been designed initially with the Curriculum for Excellence in mind, it is easily adaptable to any curriculum.

This RME planner and end of unit assessment is designed to be covered in conjunction with the cross curricular topic of Ancient Egypt (see other available resources in my shop for more information).
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.
These three activities and worksheets are a great way to start back with your class in the new term. Suitable for KS2/Second Level, with some elements being suitable for younger pupils with support.

My pupils have found this incredibly helpful as they often have struggled to remember all the different concepts they have been learning about and now can just refer to this. Repeated exposure is increasing their recall of the information learned.
This is more suitable for upper stages of Primary/Early Secondary level.
