KS2 Eczema Unit (6 eczema situations)
Introduction
This section covers several aspects of KS2 Science and Personal, Social and Health Education syllabuses. The intention is to provide online content and activities for pupils, along with additional teacher support in the form of suggestions and ideas for classroom work and downloadable activity sheets.
The pupil content begins with an introduction on the basic facts about Eczema and leads onto treatment.
The content and structure of the unit has been designed to complement the National Curriculum for England and Wales and the DFES Schemes of Work. This flexible approach enables teachers to direct pupils to key content relevant to their teaching approaches but also, introduce pupils to new topics and extending activities for both online and offline work.
