Change QCA Units the Nuffield way

There are now six reports on Nuffield approaches to QCA Units of work. They include: Unit 1A, 1C, 2C, 3A, 3D, 6D. Each report contains a full description of the teaching with photographs of children's work
Which parts of your picture should move?
The big task is to design and make a moving picture that tells a nursery rhyme or a simple story using paper, card, found pictures, found materials and paper fasteners.
How do you take your tea?
To discover a particular person's preferences for a hot drink and to meet those preferences by serving a drink that meets this specification.
There are just 2 units now which have no examples in the Showcase. Please, please let us have your pictures of your pupils' work on "How do you take your tea?" (Year 5) and "What would the scissors say on screen?" (Year 6)
