Task 9: Integrated subject areas

(e.g.

Math/Science/IT/Language)
Focus: Integration
Ask your MST which e.g. maths and/or science concepts the children
are learning at the moment. Find out how she helps them to
understand these ideas. Ask about how language is part of this
learning.
If you can, get a sample of any documentation of the science or maths
curriculum you can add this to your TP portfolio. It will give you an
idea of the kind of concepts children at this level can understand and
also the kind of activities they are engaged in.
