The pedagogical approach for teaching Year 1 students about recycling is structured around a comprehensive system designed to enhance knowledge retention. This system, known as 'link it, learn it, check it, show it and know it', is a progression framework that guides pupils through a series of stages, ensuring a deep understanding and long-term memory of why recycling is important. The methodology is laid out to provide multiple opportunities for students to absorb and recall information effectively.

At the beginning of the unit, 'before the learning', students are introduced to the concept of recycling, which helps in establishing a connection with their existing knowledge. 'During the learning', the focus shifts to engaging with the topic in a more detailed manner, where they actively learn about the recycling process and its benefits. 'At the end of the learning', students are assessed to check their understanding, and then they are encouraged to 'show it' by demonstrating their knowledge in a practical or verbal way. Finally, 'after the learning', activities and discussions are designed to reinforce the information so that it 'sticks', ensuring that the students not only know about recycling but also remember the reasons behind it. This progression within the unit is a part of Focus Education's strategy to make learning more effective and memorable.
