In the Year 2 curriculum, pupils explore the bustling environments of airports and train stations, discovering the various activities that occur within these transportation hubs. The unit is structured to enhance the students' ability to retain and comprehend the information presented. This is achieved through the progressive 'link it, learn it, check it, show it, and know it' framework, which is applied consistently throughout the learning experience to ensure that pupils not only acquire knowledge but also remember it over time.

At the outset, 'Before the learning', connections are made with the pupils' existing knowledge, setting the stage for new information to be introduced. 'During the learning', the focus is on engaging with the new content, allowing students to absorb and understand the intricacies of airport and train station operations. 'At the end of the learning', assessments are made to check understanding and retention of the concepts taught. Finally, 'After the learning', the 'make it stick' phase ensures that the knowledge gained is embedded in the students' long-term memory. This approach is detailed further in the 'Five stages of learning and remembering' document available on the Focus Learning Challenge website, provided by Focus Education (UK) Ltd.
