Is connected curriculum the way to go for geography in the primary school

Listen to Sue Toone, Principal of Nuriootpa Primary School, talk about the connected curriculum Geography trial conducted at her school in October 2011.

The trial focussed on the integration of the draft Australian Curriculum: Geography into the schools connected curriculum. A thematic curriculum focussed in 2011 on the theme of Past, Present and Future, with geography being integrated into the learning modules from Foundation to Year 7.

Thanks to the generosity of the Nuriootpa Primary School students and teachers in giving permission for their teaching materials and reflections to be part of this blog. In particular, thanks to Principal Sue Toone for supporting the Australian Curriculum: Geography trial at Nuriootpa Primary School.
