Essex Carrying the Flame resource pack - best way to develop?

Observations from the PLT Conference were that

  • Very easy to use- works well with ‘Topic based curriculum’ that many schools are using
  • 2010 change of curriculum plan which may be a reason not to embed in to curriculum at this time
  • Link the resource with curriculum objectives- more outcome related not just ‘one off’ activities
  • Needs to be extended/developed with more resources
  • Not much for Paralympics – More SEN work
  • Tenuous maths link (needs attention)
  • Very much geared towards KS1 need to look at extension and KS2
  • A lot of repetition from Devon Curricular Services 'Take 10' resource
  • Good for NQT’s
  • A kinaesthetic resource
  • Could be used as a block of work or a themed week:
  • Let's have ideas on how we could develop the resource!
