1. EICT350 1
Medium Term Plan
The children in our class will be working at the following levels. The learning objectives have been constructed from these levels.
ICT: Level 5
Pupils combine ICT tools within the overall structure of an ICT solution. They select the information they need for different purposes, check its accuracy and
organise it in a form suitable for processing. They use ICT to structure, refine and present information in different forms and styles for specific purposes and
audiences. They exchange information and ideas with others in a variety of ways, including using digital communications. They create sequences of
instructions and understand the need to be precise when framing and sequencing instructions. They are systematic in changing the variables in an ICT-
based model and explain the impact of the changes. They use ICT to organise, store and retrieve information using logical and appropriate structures. They
use ICT safely and responsibly. They discuss their knowledge and experience of using ICT and their observations of its use outside school. They assess the
use of ICT in their work and are able to reflect critically in order to make improvements in subsequent work. They use appropriate evaluation criteria to
critically evaluate the fitness for purpose of their work as it progresses.
Geography: Level 4
Pupils show knowledge and understanding of aspects of the geography of the UK and the wider world. They recognise and describe the physical and human
features of places and begin to do this within a wider locational framework. They describe how physical and human processes can change the features of
places and how these changes affect the lives and activities of people living there. They recognise and describe simple geographical patterns. They
understand that people can both improve and damage the environment. They offer reasons for their own views about environmental change and recognise
that other people may hold different views. Drawing on their knowledge and understanding, they begin to suggest suitable geographical questions, and use a
range of geographical skills to investigate places and environments. They use primary and secondary sources of evidence in their investigations and
communicate their findings using appropriate vocabulary.
History: Level 4
Pupils show their knowledge and understanding of local, national and international history by describing some of the main events, people and periods they
have studied, and by identifying where these fit within a chronological framework. They describe characteristic features of past societies and periods to
identify change and continuity within and across different periods and to identify some causes and consequences of the main events and changes. They
identify and describe different ways in which the past has been interpreted. When finding answers to historical questions, they begin to use information as
evidence to test hypotheses. They begin to produce structured work, making appropriate use of dates and terms.
Music: Level 4

2. EICT350 2
Medium Term Plan
Pupils identify and explore the relationship between sounds and how music reflects different intentions. While performing by ear and from notations, they
maintain their own part with awareness of how the different parts fit together and the need to achieve an overall effect. They improvise melodic and rhythmic
phrases as part of a group performance and compose by developing ideas within musical structures. They describe, compare and evaluate different kinds of
music using an appropriate musical vocabulary. They suggest improvements to their own and others’ work, commenting on how intentions have been
achieved.
PE: Level 4
Pupils link skills, techniques and ideas and apply them accurately and appropriately. When performing, they show precision, control and fluency. They show
that they understand tactics and composition. They compare and comment on skills, techniques and ideas used in their own and others’ work, and use this
understanding to improve their performance. They explain and apply basic safety principles when preparing for exercise. They describe how exercise affects
their bodies, and why regular, safe activity is good for their health and wellbeing. They work with others to plan and lead simple practices and activities for
themselves and others.
Art: Level 4
Pupils use a variety of approaches to explore and experiment with ideas, information and resources in order to develop their intentions. They investigate and
develop a range of practical skills and use the qualities of materials and processes purposefully to suit their intentions when designing and making. They
compare and comment on differing ideas, methods and approaches used by artists, craftspeople and designers, relating these to the contexts in which the
work was made. They discuss their own work and that of others and consider how they might adapt and refine their ideas, skills and processes.

Context:
We have provided a MTP containing 10 sessions. Literacy and Numeracy will be taught discretely in the mornings with the
afternoons being dedicated to the ‘Olympics’ themed project.
The overall product of the sessions, it is hoped, will be a short presentation of a proposal to hold the Olympics in Brazil. Each group
will present their proposal to a group of children and teachers in Brazil (link school) via Skype. The groups must present their
desired location, plans of Olympic village and their Olympic logo, justifying each choice.
Through modelled input and scaffolded activities in the initial two thirds of the project, and from previous teaching it is hoped the
children will be empowered to work independently on their final presentations combining all aspects covered in the main teaching.
The school’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) will be used throughout the project to enable learners to continue learning at
home. Not all homework will be compulsory, but it is there if the children wish to continue their learning out of school.
We are assuming a monitored network where the filtering of websites is controlled by the school. Children are aware of the e-safety
agreement of the school, misuse is not acceptable.
