Task 9b: Integrated subject areas (e.g. Math/Science/IT/Language)

Focus: Integration

Ask your MST which e.g. math and/or science concepts the children are learning at the moment. Find out how she helps them to understand these ideas. Ask about how language is part of this learning.

If you can, get a sample of any documentation of the science or maths curriculum you can add this to your TP portfolio. It will give you an idea of the kind of concepts children at this level can understand and also the kind of activities they are engaged in.

For example:

Concept	Activity	Language
The different between Push and pull	Learners go outside and look for items that can be pushed and pulled	Push – pull
