Reply To: FOSIL in Primary School

Hi Mary-Rose,

thank you so much for sharing this resource- it is really helpful to see an example of how you are presenting the FOSIL model in practice. I also love the way that you have shared a booklist too so that you’re linking the texts directly. So often we provide a topic box to a year group and I wonder how much the books are used. This way it’s clear to all stakeholders that the books are central to the exploration of the topic and by putting the learning objectives from the FOSIL standards you are helping everyone with the metacognitive element in the topic in a structured way. Does this sheet go home to parents?

I’m going to have to present my preliminary research into the FOSIL model from Nursery upwards in a few weeks time and this very solid example will be incredibly helpful.

Thanks again

Jenny
