Abstract

During my diagnostic practice on a PGCE primary course I worked with a Year 4 class at Stanville Primary School in the North East of Birmingham. The school follows the QCA scheme of work for design and technology and the topic the class was to follow was Unit 4B, Storybooks, with the focus on control mechanisms. The subject was to be taught in blocks of two weeks with three one and a quarter-hour sessions per week. This meant that the suggested timings in the QCA scheme of work had to be altered to accommodate this way of working.
