Aim |
|
|
| |
To further develop primary-secondary
liaison through a cross-phase project based
on the ecology of school grounds, and so promote
"continuity and progression"; to
produce exemplar material for trainee teachers
to show the development of pupils’ understanding
of ecological concepts through the key stages. |
