This is a 'continuous' unit, designed to be developed at various points through the key stage. It shows how news items at a widening range of scales can be used to develop geographical skills and ideas.
The unit can be used flexibly when relevant news events occur. The teaching ideas could be selected and used outside designated geography curriculum time, eg during assembly, a short activity at the beginning or end of the day, or within a context for literacy and mathematics work. Alternatively the ideas could be integrated within other geography units where appropriate, eg weather reports could be linked to work on weather and distant localities, see Unit 7 'Weather around the world'.
The first three sections are designed to be used in years 3-4, and the others in years 5-6.
This unit supports citizenship: 4, 11
