This is a 'continuous' unit, designed to be developed throughout key stages 1 and 2. Each of the activities is short and can be linked to other geography units, eg Unit 1 'Around the school - the local area', Unit 5 'Where in the world is Barnaby Bear?', Unit 22 'A contrasting locality overseas - Tocuaro' and to other areas of the curriculum.
The unit will encourage the development of knowledge about places and their locations. The range of activities is designed to ensure that, over time, children learn about places, where the places are and how they are connected. Some of the activities may be suitable as homework tasks.
The unit can be enriched by children having a 'passport' in which they record all the places they have 'visited' in the course of their work.
Although activities have been identified as more suitable for either key stage 1 or key stage 2, they may be adapted for either age group as appropriate.
The unit offers links to personal, social and health education and citizenship, ICT and literacy.
