This activity is a fantastic example of how teachers can facilitate cross-curricular learning. It would be a great lesson plan which fits perfectly with Curriculum for Wales 2022 guidelines. Whilst the predominant focus of the activity is humanities AoLE, all three mandatory skills (literacy, numeracy and digital competence) are developed throughout this activity. Other AoLE's are also developed, such as expressive arts. This activity also promotes some of the four main aims of the new curriculum, encouraging children to become ambitious and capable learners, ethical and informed citizens whilst being enterprising and creative. By using this activity within lessons, teachers will be encompassing the ethos of Curriculum for Wales 2022. This activity could be used as a starting point for future planning.
