Lesson Plan synopsis

Back to lesson plan listing
Where possible the following sections link to a print-freindly detailed lesson plan:
ART & DESIGN Design a poster competition was open to all children in Hackney. Also: William Patten bike racks, Mount pleasant road hoardings. Working with local artists to produce artwork which livens up the streets, also links quite tightly to the Citizenship element of the curriculum increasing respect for the local area, and members of the community.	HISTORY & GEOGRAPHY Woodberry Down School Looking at the development of the area in which they live, how the road network has developed and why certain roads are busier than others, the difference between roads and streets and the impact of pollution & the automobile as part of their geography sessions with Hackney Building Exploratory.
BUSINESS STUDIES Haggerston girls Marketing project for KS4 running through the process of producing posters to promote sustainable transport / road safety.	MEDIA STUDIES Measuring the opinions of the local and school community through Video work. Haggerston
CITIZENSHIP & PSHE Stoke Newington & Woodberry Down youth Considering the journey to school as exercise, making the appropriate transport choice can affect your health and the health of those around you Personal safety, Road safety training & cycle training was offered to all schools - included robbery reduction, working in conjunction with the metropolitan police force on the safe streets campaign.	LITERACY At William Patten a resource was piloted with KS1 focusing upon my journey to school, a selection of child reading resources focusing upon their journeys, i.e. red riding hood and stranger danger, Mrs Armitage on wheels and sustainable transport use.
GEOGRAPHY Health impact assessment resource. A series of lesson plans based upon the QCA geography module "should our high street be closed to traffic ?" These give an idea of how SRTS can be delivered with a year 5 class and were designed to encompass the health impact assessment. Therefore nice / nasty things become healthy / unhealthy. These sessions include the following features: 1. Transport issues / things we could measure 2. Group work allocation of things to measure preparation 3. Field work / collecting data 4. Ideas for solutions with landscape architect. 5. Prepare presentation of findings / questions for experts 6. Ask an expert /prepared questions and debate	IT Development of a website which has the capacity to be altered in real time without the need for a web designer, enabling children to effectively produce web based resources in real time. This has real potential for development , with links to other schools who are engaged with safe routes programmes on an international scale. Development of a pollution model of Hackney showing graphically the fluctuations in levels of polluting gases through the day. Can be used by geography students and as a demo to illustrate pollution and its links to automotive transportation.
GEOGRAPHY Hackney Building Exploratory Building on a pilot scheme run at Woodberry Down School in conjunction with the above - this will consist of a flexible scheme of work designed to deliver a safe routes to school programme within a school, using the whole school community but highly focused upon the national curriculum. This will include one session at the Exploratory which will give children an understanding of physical improvements that could be implemented i.e. speed bumps, table tops, toucan and zebra crossings and costing for these. On their return to school they will work upon maps to produce ideas of physical improvements around their school which will improve road safety. These could then be provided to Highways as evidence. They will also produce costing drawing upon numeracy skills. This resource could be produced for both KS 2 and 3. At Hackney Free and Parochial School - Developing KS 3 and 4 air pollution monitoring in conjunction with LBH Environmental Services.	NUMERACY Measuring, presenting data in bar charts. Developing key skills through the drawing of graphs and tables to represent the data collected.
SCIENCE / POLLUTION / HEALTH Integrated into KS2 lessons at William Patten , with equipment loaned by Hackney Environmental Services. Noise pollution measured, relative noise levels in different areas, checked against tables.	GEOGRAPHY The consultation for Daubeney Green took place in 1999 as a pilot for possible Safe routes to school work. This comprised of a number of Geography sessions with modelling techniques and mapping techniques trailed.
