Victoria Palmer, a teacher at Bishops Castle Primary School in Shropshire, has already taught a lesson about the Human Body to her cross-key-stage class of mainly Year 2s, the oldest Year 1s and some Year 3s. With the help of dancer Rachel Freeman, she wants to link dance with science. Her objectives are to introduce different body parts and how they move, and encourage the children to observe what happens to their bodies before and after exercise. In this programme we see Victoria and Primary Science Advisor Chris Robinson of Shropshire County Council looking back at what went on during the lesson. They discuss how successful it has been and touch on the following issues: planning, team teaching, scientific enquiry, differentiation, and cross curricular links.
