The role of the KS2 FW in planning

• The framework has been devised to enable schools
  to build motivating and imaginative teaching
  plans and units, which deal with topics of real
  interest and relevance to the children (DFES
  2005)

13
A climbing frame

• (The Framework) is to be seen as a support to
  both primary and secondary teachers. It is
  designed to encourage creativity and imagination
  without prescribing and imposing content- a
  climbing frame then, not a cage.

Shaping your own planning

• How can we pull all of this together?
• use the QCA schemes alongside a key resource
  which will support you
• Amalgamate 2 schemes ie. QCA and a bought scheme
  to tailor it for your schools situation?
• Use a key resource pack and gradually integrate a
  wider variety of resources over time?
• Does what you plan to use help you develop the
  skills outlined in the framework objectives ie.
  address progression adequately?
