Geography KS1

Curriculum Bank is a practical activity-based series which can be used as a planning tool to help devise a comprehensive scheme of work, and as an easily accessible bank of ideas.

The lesson plans target specific learning objectives and collectively provide a progressive coverage of the programmes of study.

Lively photocopiable worksheets support many of the activities and save valuable teacher time.

Guidance for differentiation and formative assessment is incorporated throughout, with specific assessment lessons for summative purposes also included.

IT applications and other cross-curricular links are highlighted, as are ideas for display. This book, aimed at National Curriculum Key Stage 1 and Scottish Levels A-B, provides teachers with a planning tool to help them devise a comprehensive scheme of work and an easily accessible bank of ideas.

The book can stand on its own or alongside the Key Stage 2 Geography titles in the series to provide a complete guide to planning, differentiation and assessment for primary geography.

The following areas are covered: early geographical skills; mapping; your locality; contrasting localities; and localities and the environment. Most of the activities can be applied to any location, but advice is given on choosing places to study.

The lesson plans offer clear learning objectives, give background information, allow for differentiation, highlight assessment opportunities, and give ideas for display and resources.
