ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a case study looks in depth at the work in literacy undertaken by two classes of Year 5 and 6 children and outlines the links made to other subjects. The integration of subjects can only be successful where there are clear learning intentions for each area of study. Central to the work was the teacher's intention that this process would also develop the skills of collaboration and co-operation through the creation of four camps in each class representing the four nation states of the United Kingdom. One considers that how the establishment of effective groups contributed to the success of the story writing and the historical documentaries. He determines that how the work in literacy was the foundation for the subsequent work in history but existed in its own right as a discrete unit of work. Therefore, one can examine the advantages and disadvantages of integrating subjects in this way.
