I work in a school that teachers with a topic based, creative curriculum. We link the core subjects into the current theme or topic which is the same from Reception through to Year 6. I have to say the school is fantastic and full of very experienced, creative teachers. Does anyone have negative or positive views on this style of teaching? If the school your children are at also teach in this way, have you noticed an increase or decrease in your children's interest and motivation? I have recently planned a topic on the local area for my teaching degree (I'm a mature student) and needed to link Geography, History and RE into it. Although this was done without problems I was conscious of not making tenuous links between the three subjects and am aware that some schools have forced certain subjects into a theme.
