One, Two, Three H.E.! Book 2

Category: KS3 HE

Building on the foundation laid by Book One, the second book in this colourful series covers the Programme of Study for Year 9.

The overall layout of the contents is similar to that of Book One, but the level of understanding required is raised appropriately as pupils are drawn into a more in-depth study of familiar themes.

The popular exercises for the key skills of Literacy, Numeracy and ICT are highlighted throughout, as in Book One. Recipes included are also graded appropriately for the level of study.

Diets suitable for the young child and the adolescent are examined, as are advances in technology associated with the preservation and storage of food. Awareness of the greater complexity of issues in the family are studied, such as the impact of a new baby on family life.

As consumers, pupils are taught about society's dependence on both direct and indirect services, such as medical, postal and telephone services. Very practical skills of task management are learnt, particularly in relation to budgeting and household maintenance.

Written by the same four authors, this book follows the very high standard set by One, two, three, HE! Book One in being a most attractive and effective classroom resource.
