Where and what next?

As a year group, with discussion with your phase, decide on 5 ILPs you will teach from over a year.

Try one ILP in the summer term Year 4 and 6 to ensure one ILPs focuses on Music Year 3 and 5 to not include a Music ILP Do not focus on ILPs that focus on Science, use these

elements in parallel to the Rising Stars. Use Computing elements in addition to Rising Stars. Don’t focus on the PE sessions in ILPs
