The Rota shows when each class will be starting each unit. We may amend dates as the year progresses to make use of any opportunities that arise.
The Benchmarks document shows some of the key questions that pupils should aim to be able to answer after each unit. Some questions may be covered in more depth than others depending on the class.
Resources for each topic are shared with each class via Edmodo www.edmodo.com.
