How can we link our production to the national curriculum effectively?
Our performance links quite effectively with the national curriculum in various ways. In key stage 2 they study both the Stone Age and Space. Within Science they study Animals inlcuding Humans in this they have to know that humans 'the right types and amount of nutrition' from the national curriculum, this links with our piece as within in our Stone Age section we show that the cave people require the fire as it supplies things such as food and warmth which as a result gives life. Also within science they look at Rocks by doing the Stone Age we show how rocks were used for back then and how old they are the national curriculum says that they should be 'exploring how and why they might have changed over time' therefore we help provide this information by showing them the life circle of rocks from an early start. Furthermore in science they study light, for this one thing the national curriculum says is that the children need to 'recognise that they need light in order to see things' this is also shown through our fire scene as fire was the only source of light they had within the evenings or dark places closed of from the sun.
Within history, for the national curriculums purpose of the study they said it 'should inspire pupils curiosity to know more about the past' i feel that we do this by showing how exciting the past can be through our perfomance, by making it more appealing to them through song and comedy as it is more memorable. To add to this also within the purpose of the study they have to 'understand historical concepts such as continuity and change' this is shown through the exchange between the cave people and modern people who introduce flint to the cave people shwoing that change can be a good thing, flint obviously being a large part of the Stone Age.
