Smith, Emma – Primary Science, 2021
In 2014, the latest iteration of the National Curriculum for England came into play. It provided more challenging, but slimmed down, content and concentrated on building essential knowledge and skills. A great start, but the fact remains that teaching today is as complex as ever, equipping youth for a future they do not yet know and for jobs that…
