Race to Learn Years 5 and 6 DVD-ROM

Gillian Ravenscroft, Frances Ridley and Louise Glasspoole

A cross-curricular theme-based approach to learning and developing group-working skills

Race to Learn brings the excitement of Formula One^TM motor racing to the primary classroom with an easy-to-use interactive DVD-ROM for teachers to use with children aged 9–11.

Designed to be a flexible resource, Race to Learn could easily be used intensively over the course of a single themed topic week or fortnight, over the course of an entire term, or as an exciting yet educationally-valuable treat for children.

UK curriculum

Interactive whiteboard software that keeps children engaged and excited by a real-life context for learning

Ideal for years 5 & 6 - children develop group-working skills as they work together in small racing teams

Attractive to all - both girls and boys, reluctant learners as well as the gifted and talented

Fully linked to National Curriculum objectives

The DVD-ROM fits closely with the cross-curricular theme-based approach to learning increasingly encouraged in primary schools. Working in small groups, children form their own racing teams and undertake a wide variety of tasks, from designing a car to investigating air resistance; from balancing a budget to pitching for sponsorship. Each task is closely linked to the curriculum objectives in key areas of the school curriculum as Science, Maths and Literacy.
