Here you can find the teaching plans for each unit in .doc
(Word) format. The idea is that you can download and
amend/edit them in a word-procesing programme to suit your
school and your children. Do let us know of any new ideas
or improvements that you think work well. We can then amend
the documents on the site so that other teachers can
benefit. Please read the introduction (pdf format only)
before using the plans.
Let us know if you have any problems downloading the files.
Also let us know of any errors or omissions and we will be happy to make amendments very quickly.
