'Making cognitive connections, within subjects and between subjects...' (Piaget 1977, Cockburn and Haylock 2008, Rose 2009) is an aspect of interdisciplinary learning. In general, interdisciplinary learning is when skills, knowledge, and attitudes from a range of disciplines are applied to a single experience, problem, question, theme, or idea. In simple terms, it is also known as thematic approach. From this point, I will explore the reasons why a thematic approach should be adopted in the classroom and this approach could deliver the four core subjects of the National Curriculum at key stage 1. In addition to this, I would explore the issues raised by adopting an interdisciplinary approach and by the implications of using a thematic unit for the integration of various subjects within a theme. By teaching thematically, it would allow me to integrate the four core subjects of the national curriculum within one theme. This method of thematic units uses and builds on children's interests and life experiences, so skills and knowledge are developed significantly. (Kerry. T (2011) Transversal Teaching in Primary Schools, Oxon: Routledge) The Politics of the Intermediate Curriculum Grades 4 to 10 (1993) suggests that the more students engage in how and what they study, the more interested they are in learning. 'learning. Similarly, Bruner also supports the idea of ​​children being involved in their own learning process, so that connections can be made through personal discovery and inquiry and not just through being passive receivers of information. This clearly highlights the importance of children taking an active role in their learning. Therefore, in my approach in providing the main arguments, it would be necessary for me to collaborate... in the middle of the article... methods, since both approaches could be used in conjunctival. The combination of thematic teaching and disciplinary teaching would enable the successful delivery of the core subjects of the national curriculum. Not only do thematic units help support learning in many areas of the curriculum, they allow children to find and make connections within subjects and between subjects. This idea of ​​teaching suggests that skills, knowledge and experiences could be transferable and the concept of continuity of learning within school and children's wider life experiences outside of school. Very often the thematic approach tends to rest on the interests of the children which then spread out like the ripples of a stone thrown into water. Interdisciplinary learning is a creative approach that allows flexibility for both teachers and children to get creative.
