Year 5:

Geography Enquiry say what they like about their locality sort things they like and don’t like answer some questions using different resources, such as books, the internet and atlases think of a few relevant questions to ask about a locality answer questions about the weather keep a weather chart

Geography Enquiry label a diagram or photograph using some geographical words find out about a locality by using different sources of evidence find out about a locality by asking some relevant questions to someone else say what they like and don’t like about their locality and another locality like the seaside find where they live on a map of the UK

Geography Enquiry carry out a survey to discover features of cities and villages find the same place on a globe and in an atlas label the same features on an aerial photograph as on a map plan a journey to a place in England accurately measure and collect information (e.g. rainfall, temperature, wind speed, noise levels etc.)

Geography Enquiry collect information about a place and use it in a report map land use find possible answers to their own geographical questions make detailed sketches and plans; improving their accuracy later plan a journey to a place in another part of the world, taking account of distance and time

Physical Geography tell someone their address know the school address/postcode describe a locality using words and pictures explain how the weather changes with each season name key features associated with a town or village, e.g. ‘church’, ‘farm’, ‘shop’, ‘house’

Identify places on a globe and map

Geography Enquiry to use correct geographical words to describe a place and the events that happen there to identify key features of a locality by using a map to begin to use 4 figure grid references to accurately plot NSEW on a map to sketch a map or a plan to use some basic OS map symbols to make accurate measurement of distances within 100Km to begin to ask geographical questions to present findings from geographical enquiry

Human Geography begin to explain why they would wear

Physical Geography describe some physical features of their own locality explain the main features of a hot and cold place tell something about the people who live in hot and cold places explain what they might wear if they lived in a very hot or a very cold place explain what makes a locality special describe some places which are not near the school describe places in Europe

Physical Geography to use maps and atlases appropriately by using contents and indexes and globes to describe rivers to describe how describe physical features in a locality to locate Western Europe, India and Asia on a map and globe to recognise the 4 points of the compass To know the main rivers in India

Year 6: Geography Enquiry understand latitude and longitude and explain the difference compare and contrast the Arctic and Antarctic circles study different time zones

Physical Geography understand and explain climate change in the UK Physical Geography explain how a location and its effects on the physical Physical Geography fits into its wider geography of the explain why many cities of geographical location; country the world are situated by with reference to compare and rivers explain why people physical features contrast past are attracted to live by describe the main rivers explain how a location features of a well-known African civilisations know the rivers, fits into its wider city cities and countries geographical location; with of North America reference to human and Human Geography compare a region in economical features explain what a place North America and describe the main features might be like in the of a village describe the future, taking account of the Uk main physical differences issues impacting on Human Geography between cities and villages human features explain use appropriate symbols to suggest different ways globalisation and its represent different physical that a locality could be political, social and features on a map changed and improved economic effect on Human Geography

the world explain desertification and

different clothes at different times of the year identify looking at photos differences between city, village

using geographical words describe the key features of a place, using words like, beach, coast forest, hill, mountain, ocean, valley describe physical features of Northern Europe Human Geography describe some human features of their own locality, such as the jobs people do explain how the jobs people do may be different in different parts of the world Do they think that people ever spoil the area? How? Do they think that people try to make the area better? How? explain what facilities a town or village might need

To describe the main physical features of China Human Geography to confidently describe human features in a locality to explain why a locality has certain human features to explain why a place is like it is to explain how the lives of people living in the Paris would be different from their own

explain why people are attracted to live in cities explain why people may choose to live in a village rather than a city explain how a locality has changed over time with reference to human features find different views about an environmental issue

its effects on human geography explain deforestation in the Amazon and its effects on the Brazilian economy
