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 ten part series of lessons that focus on many of the elements of the locational knowledge aspects for the KS2 Geography curriculum. The series of lessons focuses predominantly on children being able to use maps to find countries and cities in different continents as well as a brief focus on time zones and globalisation. All of the resources needed to run the lesson are included with worksheets, any potential example maps required (in case atlases are unavailable) the presentation and unit of work plan.

A lesson that focuses on time zones, including a look at GMT/ UTC as well as looking at the history of time zones.

Both assessments are uploaded separately but have been uploaded together for ease where people want both. History and 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 both history and 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.
