Investigating our local area
http://www.standards.dfee.gov.uk/schemes/geography/geo6?version=1 This is a 'long' unit, in which children develop geographical ideas and skills by studying their own locality. The unit is based on a village in Surrey, but the teaching ideas can be applied to most localities in the UK. They could also be extended or adapted to encompass different themes, eg weather, microclimates, rivers, water features. The unit can be shortened into a medium unit by leaving out one or both of the sections marked. The first three sections make a coherent unit, but may need some form of concluding activity. Guidance on how to link the Geography Scheme of Work with other areas of the curriculum can be found in the section about Links with other areas of the curriculum. This particular unit offers links to literacy, IT, environmental education and the world of work. |
