The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:
- sub strand name - p.181: the document heads this section "Sub-Strand 1" while every code in it - 3.2.2.LO.1, 3.2.2.CS.1, 3.2.2.LI.1-2, 3.2.2.AS.1-2 - names sub-strand 2, and the Scope and Sequence (printed p.22) gives Year 3 strand 2 only its second sub-strand, Modern Mechanised Agriculture, which is the name printed here. The section wins: the row is filed under sub-strand 2.2
