Spring Term: Spatial Sense 

Throughout this unit children will be forming an understanding that maps, made by cartographers, give us information about different locations. They will look at simple map symbols and understand what they represent. 

Autumn Term:

Let's Explore the World

This essential skills and knowledge project teaches children about atlases, maps and cardinal compass points. They learn about the characteristics of the four countries of the United Kingdom and find out why there are hot, temperate and cold places around the world. They also compare England to Somalia. Children carry out fieldwork, collecting primary data in their locality to answer geographical questions.
