The main purpose of this unit is to further develop pupils' knowledge and understanding of places. Pupils investigate some of the features and characteristics of the area around their new school while also developing a range of geographical skills.
This unit aims to help transfer between key stage 2 and 3 by building on locality studies pupils are likely to have carried out and encouraging them to talk about the work they have already done. Teachers will be able to use this unit to make a diagnostic assessment of what pupils know, understand and are able to do.
Some of the freestanding activities in unit 24 'Passport to the world' may be used to supplement those suggested here or may be used as homework exercises.
This unit is expected to take 8-11 hours.
