Publications
Curriculum for Excellence: Joyning the Learning

We now have four publications in the Joyning the Learning portfolio. The philosophy – to give our primary teachers permission, trust and confidence to work in this motivating way. In each topic the principles of curriculum design have been used to create an enjoyable, coherent and relevant context for learning.

Joyning the Learning....The Journey So Far

Price: £25
includes p+p

Joyning the Learning ... The Journey So Far

A reader to support teachers and managers as they implement CfE. This new publication will enable you to implement the methodology. It rehearses the rationale of Joyning the Learning and describes the process of managing curriculum change. It also offers advice on how to progress to the next stage of implementation, where the outcomes and experiences of CfE become the starting point for a Joyning the Learning experience. It discusses the issues of monitoring and assessment, setting assessment firmly within the Assessment is for Learning programme.


Fairyland

Price: £45
includes p+p

Fairyland
suitable for P1 - 3

When a sad dragon leaves a slightly singed letter at the end of a glitter trail in their classroom, the children know something different is afoot! The dragon enlists their help. Fairyland has disappeared and all his friends ( Little Red Riding Hood, the 3 Bears etc) have nowhere to live. Can the children help? And of course they do! Fairyland provides an interdisciplinary context for play based activities which help extend the active learning approaches used in pre 5 education.


 The Unsinkable Ship

Price: £45 +VAT
includes p+p

The Unsinkable Ship
suitable for P4/5

The Unsinkable Ship has an environmental studies focus. It joins the learning in language, art and technology. The children become Secret Agents who respond to a series of Top Secret Missions. They raise the Unsinkable Ship from her watery grave and recreate her in all her splendour. Great fun! The topic incorporates formative assessment, collaborative and active learning approaches.


The Magic Castle

Price: £45 +VAT
includes p+p

The Magic Castle
suitable for P4 - 7

Imagine a classroom where the boundaries between reality and imagination are blurred. The classroom has been transformed by the children and their teacher into a magical place – perhaps the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle (or the Great Hall of a Jacobean mansion). The Magic Castle is a language based topic which joins the learning from health and well being, art and technology. The skills of ICT and enterprise are embedded.


The Very Important Bear

Price: £45 +VAT
includes p+p

The VIB (Very Important Bear)
suitable for P6/7

The VIB has a media focus and joins the learning from other curricular areas, in particular ICT, language and art. Personalisation and choice are important elements of the topic with children taking responsibility for researching aspects of film and film-making. They plan and make their own movies - starring the VIB - and mount eye catching wall displays. An Oscars ceremony of course results!
