A lesson that focuses on natural hazards, particularly in being able to identify the differences between climatic and tectonic hazards. The lesson works well as an introductory lesson in teaching pupils about different natural hazards and understanding why these occur. There is everything needed to be able to deliver the lesson including the lesson PowerPoint, starter activity, three activities and support sheets. The lesson starts with a starter focusing on the equator and tropics to prompt understanding of climate and weather conditions. This then moves on to identifying key vocabulary and introducing the idea of natural hazards. Activity One then requires pupils to sort examples of natural hazards into climatic and tectonic. There is a cut and stick version of this with images or a separate version using written text for those looking to save on time and printing. This then moves on to the second activity focusing on being able to identify similarities and differences between climatic and tectonic hazards. This is presented as a Venn diagram with a support sheet to help with ideas. However, there is also an alternative version of the activity should teachers wish to use it, with a reduced outcome through limited boxes available. This is then followed up by more discussion and a review task to check understanding at the end of the lesson. Additionally, a support sheet is provided with the key vocabulary, information and images from the PowerPoint all provided on one page for pupils to refer back to.

A fully resourced unit of work that compares the U.K, Spain and Canada. There are 11 lessons that begin by looking at time zones around the world before focussing on the human and physical geographical features of the U.K, Spain and Canada separately. This then leads to comparing and contrasting two countries together as a class before finishing on the final lesson by comparing and contrasting all three countries together. Also included are Geography assessment grids for each year group that work as best fit assessments.

Geography assessment grids from Year 1 to 6 that can be used to check children's understanding and use as a progress measure if wished. These are to be used as best fit as there may be some areas they are weaker/ more confident in with the aim being a best fit judgement. I created these as there appears to be a gap in geography assessment at the minute in primary schools since the move to assessment without levels. This enables schools to have something in place for a foundation subject that links well to other curricular areas, as well as showing an assessment system should visitors wish to know how you monitor progress.

A worksheet template that can be used when doing a case study where you want pupils to consider the primary and secondary effects of an event.
